Introduction to TCL

<Package Description Needed>

Non-Multilib

Compile the package:

cd unix &&
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-threads &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
make install-private-headers &&
ln -v -sf tclsh8.6 /usr/bin/tclsh

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 Tcl library interface headers used by other packages if they link to the Tcl library.

ln -v -sf tclsh8.6 /usr/bin/tclsh: This command is used to create a compatibility symbolic link to the tclsh8.6 file as many packages expect a file named tclsh.

Multilib

32Bit

Compile the package:

cd unix &&
CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr \
    --enable-threads &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
mv -v /usr/bin/tclsh8.6{,-32} &&
ln -v -sf tclsh8.6-32 /usr/bin/tclsh-32

N32

Compile the package:

cd unix &&
sed -i '/sprintf(installLib/s:"lib:&64:' tclUnixInit.c &&
sed -i -e '/TCL_PACKAGE_PATH=/s:=.*:="/usr/lib32":' \
       -e '/^TCL_LIBRARY=/s:=.*:=/usr/lib32/tcl$(VERSION):' configure &&
CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib32 \
    --enable-threads &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
mv -v /usr/bin/tclsh8.6{,-n32} &&
ln -v -sf tclsh8.6-n32 /usr/bin/tclsh-n32

64Bit

Compile the package:

cd unix &&
sed -i '/sprintf(installLib/s:"lib:&64:' tclUnixInit.c &&
sed -i -e '/TCL_PACKAGE_PATH=/s:=.*:="/usr/lib64":' \
       -e '/^TCL_LIBRARY=/s:=.*:=/usr/lib64/tcl$(VERSION):' configure &&
CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 \
    --enable-threads &&
make

Install the package

make install &&
make install-private-headers &&
mv -v /usr/bin/tclsh8.6{,-64} &&
ln -v -sf multiarch_wrapper /usr/bin/tclsh8.6 &&
ln -v -sf tclsh8.6-64 /usr/bin/tclsh-64 &&
ln -v -sf multiarch_wrapper /usr/bin/tclsh
