I simply thought that you hadn't been following the thread closely and didn't have time to think hard about it. It was not at all clear to me from your statement about a "broken configure script" that you were actually referring to a particular variable in tclConfig.sh. > Did you actually look at tclConfig.sh? > > # String to pass to linker to pick up the Tcl library from its > # build directory. > TCL_BUILD_LIB_SPEC='-L/netrel/build/libtcltk/tcl/win -ltcl84' > > Unless you have my build structure on your system it doesn't make > much sense to use this variable. Agreed, but since you hadn't said anything about understanding the following yet, you can see where I was coming from. > The TCL_INCLUDE_SPEC (and maybe TCL_LIB_SPEC) is obviously wrong however.
