These sed's remove the reference to the build directory and replace them by saner system wide locations. install ...: These commands install the internal headers into a system-wide location. ln -sf ...: These commands create compatibility symbolic links. The Tk package contains wish, the libtk library and miscellaneous tools and scripts. wish is a simple shell containing the Tk toolkit that creates a main window and then processes Tcl commands.
