I was thinking about that yesterday. I wanted to build a super-wish, because that's what my favorite debugger (tgdb) wants. Problem is, all of the tcl extensions all seem to want the same thing: to be sited in such a way that ALL of the tcl tool build directories are subdirs of the same directory. Our ports setup doesn't allow for this. I have (on my machine) gotten around this by creating links that cheat to get this kind of organization. I do kinda wish that tcl could be handled as some kind of special case for ports, tho. I haveta build TkSteal, which isn't a port, but needs that organization. I bet that's why tclDP doesn't find tcl. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 (Freebsd 2.0.5-snap-0726) and (301) 220-2114 | n3lxx (FreeBSD 2.0.5-snap-0622) -- Great! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
