It needs tcl-8.5.x and tk-8.5.x to compile which is currently hard masked.

Not really.

Scid 3.6.26 needs tcl and tk 8.4 like all previous 3.6 versions. Scid 3.7 cvs is the one that needs 8.5. I read that in the scid-users mailing list, posted by the developer.

It seems that Scid 3.6.26 _can_ use the newer version of tcl and tk, and that this is only a bug in the configure script. I managed to compile scid 3.6.26 myself, only changing tclsh=tclsh8.5; to tclsh=tclsh;

scid-3.6.26.ebuild

scid-3.6.26-ebuild that works with tcl/tk 8.4.x and 8.5.x
The only difference to the ebuild for 3.6.24 is the patch

Thank you for your comment.
Added an ebuild to have something to start from.
Tested with tcl/tk 8.4.18 and tcl/tk 8.5.5.
Apart from this change in configure through the patch there are only the renamed files from the ebuild for 3.6.24.

[Comment 7 Thomas Riedel 2009-03-13 15:50:42 UTC]

Ebuild updates from version 3.6.24 currently in the tree to version 3.7.3:
  * Use EAPI 2 phases
  * Update SRC_URI for new spellings and ratings files
  * Use econf instead of configure
  * Remove limitations on parallel make processing
  * Other minor changes regarding DESTDIR handling

Note that version 3.7.3 requires an updated patch for Gentoo datadir handling which is attached below.

Combine both DEPENDs into one.

[Comment 12 Christos Gitsis 2009-05-02 01:52:13 UTC]

The version of scid from portage does not start currently, because apparently it needs tcl-8.4, but 8.5 is the version of tcl in testing now.

$>scid
tkscid: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Maybe there is a way to configure it to use tcl-8.5?
