- <title>Installation of Tcl</title>
- <para>This package and the next two are only installed to be able to run the
- test suites for GCC and Binutils. Installing three packages just for testing
- purposes may seem like overkill, but it is very reassuring, if not essential,
- to know that our most important tools are working properly. Even if you are
- not running the test suites here in this chapter as per our recommendation,
- these packages are still required for running the test suites in the next
- chapter.</para>
- <para>Prepare Tcl for compilation:</para>
- <screen><userinput>cd unix
- ./configure --prefix=/tools</userinput></screen>
- <para>Build the package:</para>
- <screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen>
- <para>(If you insist on testing the results, then issue:
- <userinput>TZ=UTC make test</userinput>. However, the Tcl 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. The <emphasis>TZ=UTC</emphasis> parameter sets the time
- zone to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) also known as Greenwich Mean Time
- (GMT), but only for the duration of the test suite run. This ensures the clock
- tests are exercised correctly. More information on the TZ environment variable
- will be given later on in <xref linkend="chapter-bootscripts"/>.)</para>
