-=== Command Explanations ===
-''--enable-threads'': This switch forces the package to build with thread support.
-'''make install-private-headers''': This command is used to install the Tk library interface headers used by other packages if they link to the Tk library.
-'''ln -v -sf wish{{Tk-Version2}} /usr/bin/wish''': This command is used to create a compatibility symbolic link to the '''wish{{Tk-Version2}}''' file as many packages expect a file named '''wish'''.
 == Multilib ==

wish	is a symlink to the wish8.4 program.
wish8.5	is a simple shell containing the Tk toolkit that creates a main window and then processes Tcl commands.
libtk.so	contains the API functions required by Tk.
