Tcl 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 . Note that the Tcl package used here is a minimal version needed to run the LFS tests. For the full package, see the BLFS Tcl procedures. Prepare Tcl for compilation: SRCDIR=$(pwd) cd unix ./configure --prefix=/usr \ --mandir=/usr/share/man \ $([ "$(uname -m)" = x86_64 ] && echo --enable-64bit) $([ "$(uname -m)" = x86_64 ] && echo --enable-64bit) The construct $(<shell command>) is replaced by the output of the chell command. Here this output is empty if running on a 32 bit machine, and is --enable-64bit if running on a 64 bit machine. Build the package: make sed -e "s|$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 The various sed after the make command remove references to the build directory from various configuration files, and replaces them with the install directory. This is not mandatory for the remaining of LFS, but may be needed in case a package built later uses Tcl. Install the package: make install Make the installed library writable so debugging symbols can be removed later: chmod -v u+w /usr/lib/libtcl&tcl-major-version;.so Install Tcl's headers. The next package, Expect, requires them to build. make install-private-headers Now make a necessary symbolic link: ln -sfv tclsh&tcl-major-version; /usr/bin/tclsh Installed programs Installed library tclsh (link to tclsh&tcl-major-version;) and tclsh&tcl-major-version; libtcl&tcl-major-version;.so, libtclstub&tcl-major-version;.a Short Descriptions tclsh&tcl-major-version; The Tcl command shell tclsh&tcl-major-version; tclsh A link to tclsh&tcl-major-version; tclsh libtcl&tcl-major-version;.so The Tcl library libtcl&tcl-major-version;.so libtclstub&tcl-major-version;.a The Tcl Stub library libtclstub&tcl-major-version;.a
