Bug 9815 – dev-tcltk/itcl should have a itclConfig.sh

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description SpanKY 2002-10-28 01:10:36 UTC]

when packages try to compile with iTCL support, they look for the itclConfig.sh 
script to give them information (the same way that TCL has a tclConfig.sh 
in /usr/lib):
 - what version is installed
 - where are the header files
 - where are the libraries
 - where are the binaries

without this script, packages assume iTCL is not installed

itclConfig.sh doesn't (nor anything that resembles it) appear in the itcl
sources. This appears to be a RedHat-ism. Can you check if could steal theirs
verbatim, and if so, just attach it here, and I'll get to it ? 

I see it's referred to in the CHANGES file in itcl-3.2, but it's not being built
at compile-time, nor is it referred to anywhere else in the sources. Strange...

Didn't seem to get to the bottom of this. If you're still angry, reopen the bug and I'll give it a second attempt.

Sorry. I don't have the capacity to deal with tcl and tk stuff anymore.
