Some xf apps require wish -- so adding tcl and tk to the xfce ebuild dependencies would solve this problem Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
which apps would that be? And is it during compile, or once installed?
I can't remember the specific apps (xfskin was one). The all compiled fine, I believe as part of the base XFCE build. The line from xfskin (line 3) which was the problem is: exec wish "$0" "$@" If run from the command line, it gave an error similar to; 'wish not found .... line 3:exec wish'
well, it should maybe added to the runtime deps, altough that's not completely correct either. I don't use xfce, how important would you consider the apps (scripts) that need tcl/tk (like xfskin) ? does it really lessen the use of the wm/desktop ? I'm thinking either if it is important enough adding it as a dep or otherwise mentioning it at the end of the ebuild. The thing is, that for a lot of users installing all of tcl/tk (with subdeps?) isn't really what they want for just a few (minor) scripts.
Not really a big deal. I don't really use the skins much (at all) anyways. It may be a good idea to add it to the end of the build as a note. It doesn't affect the usability of the wm/desktop at all.
a IUSE="tcltk" could probably be good in this case.
added tcltk use dep.
