<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 and other
packages. 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. These packages are required
to run the test suites in this chapter.</para>
<!-- <para>Note that the Tcl package used here is a minimal version needed
to run the LFS tests. For the full package, see the
<ulink url='&blfs-book;general/tcl.html'>BLFS Tcl procedures</ulink>.</para>-->
<para>First, unpack the documentation by issuing the following command:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="pre">tar -xf ../tcl&tcl-version;-html.tar.gz --strip-components=1</userinput></screen>
<para>Prepare Tcl for compilation:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="configure">SRCDIR=$(pwd)
cd unix
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
$([ "$(uname -m)" = x86_64 ] &amp;&amp; echo --enable-64bit)</userinput></screen>
<variablelist>
<title>The meaning of the configure options:</title>
<varlistentry>
<term><parameter>$([ "$(uname -m)" = x86_64 ] &amp;&amp; echo --enable-64bit)</parameter></term>
<listitem>
<para>The construct <parameter>$(&lt;shell command&gt;)</parameter>
is replaced by the output of the shell command. Here this output is
empty if running on a 32 bit machine, and is
<parameter>--enable-64bit</parameter> if running on a 64 bit machine.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para>Build the package:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="make">make
sed -e "s|$SRCDIR/unix|/usr/lib|" \
-e "s|$SRCDIR|/usr/include|" \
-i tclConfig.sh
sed -e "s|$SRCDIR/unix/pkgs/tdbc&tdbc-ver;|/usr/lib/tdbc&tdbc-ver;|" \
-e "s|$SRCDIR/pkgs/tdbc&tdbc-ver;/generic|/usr/include|" \
-e "s|$SRCDIR/pkgs/tdbc&tdbc-ver;/library|/usr/lib/tcl8.6|" \
-e "s|$SRCDIR/pkgs/tdbc&tdbc-ver;|/usr/include|" \
-i pkgs/tdbc&tdbc-ver;/tdbcConfig.sh
sed -e "s|$SRCDIR/unix/pkgs/itcl&itcl-ver;|/usr/lib/itcl&itcl-ver;|" \
-e "s|$SRCDIR/pkgs/itcl&itcl-ver;/generic|/usr/include|" \
-e "s|$SRCDIR/pkgs/itcl&itcl-ver;|/usr/include|" \
-i pkgs/itcl&itcl-ver;/itclConfig.sh
unset SRCDIR</userinput></screen>
<para>The various <quote>sed</quote> instructions after the
<quote>make</quote> command removes references to the build directory from
the configuration files and replaces them with the install directory.
This is not mandatory for the remainder of LFS, but may be needed in case a
package built later uses Tcl.</para>
<para>To test the results, issue:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="test">make test</userinput></screen>
<note>
<para>
In the test results there are several places associated with clock.test
that indicate a failure, but the summary at the end indicates no
failures. clock.test passes on a complete LFS system.
</para>
</note>
<para>Install the package:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="install">make install</userinput></screen>
<para>Make the installed library writable so debugging symbols can
be removed later:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="install">chmod -v u+w /usr/lib/libtcl&tcl-major-version;.so</userinput></screen>
<para>Install Tcl's headers. The next package, Expect, requires them.</para>
<screen><userinput remap="install">make install-private-headers</userinput></screen>
<para>Now make a necessary symbolic link:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="install">ln -sfv tclsh&tcl-major-version; /usr/bin/tclsh</userinput></screen>
<para>Finally, rename a man page that conflicts with a Perl man page:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="install">mv /usr/share/man/man3/{Thread,Tcl_Thread}.3</userinput></screen>
