<title>Installation of Expect</title>

<para>First apply a patch:</para>

<para><screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../expect-&expect-version;.patch</userinput></screen></para>

<para>This fixes a bug in Expect that can result in bogus failures during the
GCC test suite run.</para>

<para>Now prepare Expect to be compiled:</para>

<para><screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/stage1 --with-tcl=/stage1/lib --with-x=no</userinput></screen></para>

<para>Build, test, and install the package:</para>

<para><screen><userinput>make
make test
make install</userinput></screen></para>

<para>Note that also here some of the tests might fail, and that this is not a
problem here either.</para>

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