Bug 60263 – Support to the "tcltk" use flag in the wordnet ebuild

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Gustavo M. Gama 2004-08-13 13:06:49 UTC]

The current wordnet ebuild depends on TCL/TK packages. However, I believe it should be optionally compiled with such support by means of the "tcltk" use flag, since WordNet is perfectly usable through its command line interface and API.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge app-dicts/wordnet

Actual Results:  
The TCL/TK were installed, inspite of my "-tcltk" USE flag.

Expected Results:  
Not installed TCL/TK if the USE flags specified not to.

I've modified the current ebuild using the patch below. It worked for me, though
I'm not sure it follows Gentoo guidelines.

Created attachment 41142 [details, diff]
wordnet-2.0.ebuild.diff

This is more simple one. (dev-lang/tk depends on dev-lang/tcl)

This version of the WordNet window-based browser is written in Tcl/Tk.
If you want to compile the browser on your system, you must have the
Tcl/TK 8 libraries installed on your system.  Read the file
