* 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.
If all you need is a symlink, you can add something like
post-extract:
ln -s ${PORTSDIR}/lang/tcl/work/tcl-7.3 ${WRKSRC}
to the Makefile of the port that needs it....
* I bet that's why tclDP doesn't find tcl.
Well, this wasn't the case, but it's a good suggestion nonetheless.
