A workaround is to append "-DUSE_INTERP_ERRORLINE -DUSE_INTERP_RESULT" to CFLAGS, which changes the errors to deprecation warnings and lets the package build:
../tcl/tclwrap.c: In function ‘tcRunScript’:
../tcl/tclwrap.c:49:10: warning: ‘errorLine’ is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/tcl.h:524) [-Wdeprecated-declarations]

It work fine for me on ~amd64.

Thank you!

The ebuild above works here, too, with tcl-8.6. Any chances to include this patch in the official portage???

[Comment 6 Olliver Schinagl 2014-06-16 20:11:40 UTC]

Getting the same error still with sci-electronics/gnetman-0.0.1_pre20110124 and dev-lang/tcl-8.6.1-r1:0/8.6  USE="threads -debug" on gentoo 64bits

[Comment 7 Kobboi 2015-04-05 20:34:46 UTC]

Recently, tcl has been slotted. I now have both tcl-8.5 and tcl-8.6 installed, but the tclsh symlink still points to 8.6, so I still run in to this issue

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Mar 21 13:48 /usr/bin/tclsh -> tclsh8.6

I am not sure how this should be handled properly. Patch gnetman to run tclsh8.5?

[Comment 8 Michał Górny 2015-04-05 22:13:15 UTC]

@tcltk, can you advise on the best solution here?

The 8.5 SLOT is only meant for binary packages. Every other package should depend on SLOT=0
