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

|
|
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>

<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>

<listitem><para><userinput>SCRIPTS=""</userinput>: This prevents installation

|
of the supplementary expect scripts which are not needed.</para></listitem>
