Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &tk-md5sum; Download size: &tk-size; Estimated disk space required: &tk-buildsize; Estimated build time: &tk-time; X ( or ) and Install Tk by running the following commands: export VERSION=&tk-version; && export V=`echo $VERSION | cut -d "." -f 1,2` && export DIR=$PWD && cd unix && ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-threads && make && sed -i "s:${DIR}/unix:/usr/lib:" tkConfig.sh && sed -i "s:${DIR}:/usr/include/tk${V}:" tkConfig.sh If you run make test to run the test suite, ensure you do it from an X Window display device with the GLX extensions loaded, else the tests will hang. Now, as the root user: make install && install -d /usr/include/tk${V}/unix && install -m644 *.h /usr/include/tk${V}/unix/ && install -d /usr/include/tk${V}/generic && install -m644 ../generic/*.h /usr/include/tk${V}/generic/ && rm -f /usr/include/tk${V}/generic/{tk,tkDecls,tkPlatDecls}.h && ln -nsf ../../include/tk${V} /usr/lib/tk${V}/include && ln -sf libtk${V}.so /usr/lib/libtk.so && ln -sf wish${V} /usr/bin/wish Clean up the unprivileged user's environment using the following commands: unset VERSION && unset V && unset DIR --enable-threads: This switch forces the package to build with thread support. sed -i ...: The Tk package assumes that the source that is used to build Tk is always kept around for compiling packages that depend on Tk. 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.
