Description
specifically:
# String to pass to linker to pick up the Tcl library from its # build directory. TCL_BUILD_LIB_SPEC='-L/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_tcl/tcl/work/tcl8.6.0/unix -ltcl8.6'
# Location of the top-level source directory from which Tcl was built. # This is the directory that contains a README file as well as # subdirectories such as generic, unix, etc. If Tcl was compiled in a # different place than the directory containing the source files, this # points to the location of the sources, not the location where Tcl was # compiled. TCL_SRC_DIR='/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_tcl/tcl/work/tcl8.6.0'
# String to pass to linker to pick up the Tcl stub library from its # build directory. TCL_BUILD_STUB_LIB_SPEC='-L/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_tcl/tcl/work/tcl8.6.0/unix -ltclstub8.6'
# Path to the Tcl stub library in the build directory. TCL_BUILD_STUB_LIB_PATH='/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_lang_tcl/tcl/work/tcl8.6.0/unix/libtclstub8.6.a'
This makes it difficult to manually compile Tcl extensions against MacPorts's Tcl.

This is actually expected.
$TCL_BUILD_STUB_LIB_SPECis for the cases when you're building your own Tcl in-tree and want to link against that from its build (as opposed to install) location.
I think that actually might have been what I was trying to do (I have a copy of Tcl in-tree for my fork of apple-gdb, for use with gdbtk), and I think that I must have just forgot to tell it to use the in-tree one instead of the MacPorts one... although then again, if this is from 8 months ago, I do not think that I had actually started work on that by that point, so maybe it was for something different, I forget...
If you use the macros from
tcl.m4in your autoconf-based build system it will automatically choose the right set of variables for you.
The macros in the standard tcl.m4 are also pretty out-of-date, so I usually modify the copy I use to bring it more up-to-date, and it is possible that one of these modifications might have accidentally messed up the variables that it chose... anyway, either way it was probably a user error on my part, so I am okay with the closing of this.

Make sure that right next to the tclConfig.sh file picked up by your configure script there also is a Makefile. That's the test tcl.m4 uses to determine whether to use the build variables.

In what way are the macros in tcl.m4 out of date?

Try running autoreconf with the -Wall flag in a project that contains the standard tcl.m4 file in it, and uses all the macros from it. It will print a bunch of warnings about obsolete macros, as shown in this reduced test case I made using the tcl.m4 file from MacPorts base:

You can run autoupdate on it, but doing that leaves behind some artifacts that have to be fixed manually. I will attach some diffs to illustrate in a bit.
Edit: nvm, it turns out that I was actually wrong about being able to run autoupdate on it, doing that fails with this error:
Local-Admins-MacBook-Pro:autoconf_bug_reports_dir ericgallager$ autoupdate m4/tcl.m4 /opt/local/bin/gm4:/var/folders/Vs/VsGkDxJXHq41Y+34HmvuNk+++Tg/-Tmp-//aulmpnYY/input.m4:2527: ERROR: end of file in string autoupdate: /opt/local/bin/gm4 failed with exit status: 1
I guess I will just attach a diff with my copy that I had already modified by hand (the one from my fork of MacPorts that is), instead of trying to re-run through the autoupdate process from scratch...
This is actually expected.
