FW: Can't get SID to build - tk error

FW: Can't get SID to build - tk error

[Robert Cragie]

I have been told that I need to install Tcl/Tk 8.4. However, as far as I can
see, a complete source tree of Tcl/Tk 8.4 is included in SID. So surely I
don't need to install it as well?

Therefore I assume there is still some error in the scripts. I have pored
over them and tried adding 8.4 to tix/unix/Makefile.in (as the error was in
the tix area) and reconfigured from scratch but it made no difference. Any
assistance would be much appreciated.

I am also having problems getting the latest version of SID to build (CVS
version updated 30 Jan 2003 @ 1745 GMT).

Environment:

SuSE Linux version 2.4.4-4GB
Tcl version 8.3
gcc version 2.95.3

I have created the following directory structure:

sid-cvs/src/<CVS source>
sid-cvs/build

I have applied the patch given in
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/sid/2003-q1/msg00017.html

In sid-cvs/build I do:

../src/configure --prefix=/opt/sid --exec-prefix=/opt/sid 2>&1 | tee
configure.out

Then I do:

make all install 2>&1 | tee make.out

I get the following error:

Also, I don't quite understand what you mean here:

Can you help?

Since tcl/tk 8.4 comes with the src repository now, you need not
build or install it separately.

It's clear that something is wrong with the tix configury.  However,
tix is not related to sid, either as a dependent of "make all-sid"
or as the CVS module "sid".  You must have that source tree checked
out due to insight or snavigator, or just by accident.  Please remove
the entire tix directory, and try the configure/make again.

This is obviously residue from earlier checkouts of SID, as I notice it is
present in an earlier source tree but, as you rightly say, it is not in the
latest source tree. I did update my source tree using 'cvs -z9
update -d -P', which I thought would have removed any directories no longer
relevant. However, I have done a clean checkout and will work from there. I
have applied the patch in
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/sid/2003-q1/msg00017.html (should this be
committed?) and have started a build - the results look promising so far.

It would do that, only if irrelevant directores were identified
with an "cvs remove", to actually designate them as if deleted.
Because that source subtree (buggy as it is) is still used by
insight and snavigator, it can't be "cvs remove"d.  Your "cvs update -d -P"
dutifully pulled it (and everything else under src/) into your
working tree.

I'm glad to hear.  I'll commit a variety of C++ and build cleanups
to src/sid in the coming days, including that patch.
