<para>The meaning of the configure options:</para>

<itemizedlist>

<listitem><para><userinput>--with-tcl=/tools/lib</userinput>: This ensures that

|
the configure script finds the Tcl installation in our temporary tools location.

We don't want it to find an existing one that may possibly reside on the host
|
|
system.</para></listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem><para><userinput>--with-x=no</userinput>: This tells the configure
|
|
script not to search for Tk (the Tcl GUI component) or the X Window System
|
|
libraries, both of which may possibly reside on the host system.</para></listitem>

</itemizedlist>

<para>Build the package:</para>

<screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen>

|
|
|
<para>(If you insist on testing the results, then issue:
|
|
<userinput>make test</userinput>. However, the Expect 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.)</para>
|

|
<para>And install it:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>make SCRIPTS="" install</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>The meaning of the make parameter:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para><userinput>SCRIPTS=""</userinput>: This prevents installation
|
|
of the supplementary expect scripts which are not needed.</para></listitem>

<para>You can now remove the source directories of both Tcl and Expect.</para>
