tclx 8.4 Install error - make all fails with error 2

[jnudell@…]

I am trying to install the tclx port, and it fails with the following information:

Please mention relevant versions (Mac OS X, Xcode). Also, include debug output:

sudo port clean tclx
sudo port -d install tclx

We desperately need a tcl84 port. So much is broken on tcl 8.5 and tclx is one of them.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

I already locally modified my tcl/tk portfiles to use 8.4.19. I'd be willing to add them as new ports but many ports rely on tcl/tk. There's going to be a number of collisions between the 8.4 and 8.5 versions, so I don't think both can be installed at the same time. I think we need a tcltk_select port for it and I'm not sure how to make that.

This is a clean machine, as in brand new install of Mac OS X Leopard, with software updates run to bring it current. I was trying to install the necessary components to get sguil working (tcl, tcllib, tclx, iwidgets, itk).

Sigh, WikiFormatting

[markd@…]

Water under the bridge I guess but it seems like 8.5 should have been tcl-devel.

[tobypeterson]

No, tcl-devel would be 8.6.

Tcl 8.5 was released almost two years ago, software that hasn't yet adjusted is just really old.

[tobypeterson]

Huh, I see that tclx uses internal headers - and it grabs them from tcl 8.4.x. Is it possible that this would be fixed simply by using the internal headers from tcl 8.5 instead?

[markd@…]

It could be, but if memory serves the expect port has the same problem and I tried to fix it by using newer headers and it didn't work. But this could be different so it should be tried, but I don't have time to try it right now.
