<title>Installation of Tcl</title>
<para>This package and the next two (Expect and DejaGNU) are installed
to support running the test suites for GCC and Binutils. Installing
three packages for testing purposes may seem excessive, but it is very
reassuring, if not essential, to know that the most important tools are
working properly. Even if the test suites are not run in this chapter
(they are not mandatory), these packages are required to run the test
suites in <xref linkend="chapter-building-system"/>.</para>
<para>Prepare Tcl for compilation:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="configure">cd unix
./configure --prefix=/tools</userinput></screen>
<para>Build the package:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="make">make</userinput></screen>
<para>To test the results, issue:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="test">TZ=UTC make test</userinput></screen>
<para>The Tcl test suite is known to experience failures under certain host
conditions that are not fully understood. Therefore, test suite failures
here are not surprising, and are not considered critical. The
<parameter>TZ=UTC</parameter> parameter sets the time zone to Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC), also known as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), but only
for the duration of the test suite run. This ensures that the clock tests
are exercised correctly. Details on the <envar>TZ</envar> environment
variable are provided in <xref linkend="chapter-bootscripts"/>.</para>
<para>Install the package:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="install">make install</userinput></screen>
<para>Install Tcl's headers. The next package, Expect, requires them
to build.</para>
<screen><userinput remap="install">make install-private-headers</userinput></screen>
<para>Now make a necessary symbolic link:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="install">ln -sv tclsh&tcl-major-version; /tools/bin/tclsh</userinput></screen>
