Failures will be reported during the tests, depending on the screen resolution/capabilities, fonts installed and other X related parameters, but the end report can show 0 failures. Some tests will steal focus and some might crash your X Server. To test the results anyway, issue: make test. Ensure you run it from an X Window display device with the GLX extensions loaded, but even so, tests might hang. Now, as the root user: make install && make install-private-headers && ln -v -sf wish&tk-ver; /usr/bin/wish && chmod -v 755 /usr/lib/libtk&tk-ver;.so $([ $(uname -m) = x86_64 ] && echo --enable-64bit): This switch is used to enable 64 bit support in Tk on 64 bit operating systems. make install-private-headers: This command is used to install the Tk library interface headers used by other packages if they link to the Tk library. ln -v -sf wish&tk-ver; /usr/bin/wish: This command is used to create a compatibility symbolic link to the wish&tk-ver; file as many packages expect a file named wish. sed -e ... tkConfig.sh: The Tk package expects that its source tree is preserved so that packages depending on it for their compilation can utilize it. This sed removes the references to the build directory and replaces them with saner system-wide locations. Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directory wish and wish&tk-ver; libtk&tk-ver;.so and libtkstub&tk-ver;.a /usr/lib/tk&tk-ver; Short Descriptions wish is a symlink to the wish&tk-ver; program. wish wish&tk-ver; is a simple shell containing the Tk toolkit that creates a main window and then processes Tcl commands. wish&tk-ver; libtk&tk-ver;.so contains the API functions required by Tk. libtk&tk-ver;.so
