The lang/tcl/8.5 port

tcl-8.5.19p6 – Tool Command Language (cvsweb github mirror)

Description

Tcl (Tool Command Language) is a very powerful but easy to learn dynamic
programming language, suitable for a very wide range of uses, including
web and desktop applications, networking, administration, testing and
many more. Open source and business-friendly, Tcl is a mature yet
evolving language that is truly cross platform, easily deployed and
highly extensible.

| Running ${PKGSTEM} on OpenBSD
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The OpenBSD port of the Tcl dynamic language was designed to balance
deriving the maximum value from the original software while keeping
any modifications to a minimum.

Install locations and file names differ from the default to enable
installing multiple versions of Tcl and Tk on OpenBSD without conflict.

Libraries
=========
On architectures that support shared libraries, additional static
libraries (libtcl85.a, libtk85.a) are built from the pic-compiled
object (.o) files.  A symbolic link from any lib.a to lib_pic.a
is created in order to satisfy libtool.

Manual Page Configuration
=========================
Adding the following lines to /etc/man.conf wil enable man(1)
and related commands can find the Tcl and Tk manual pages.

manpath ${TRUEPREFIX}/lib/tcl/tcl8.5/man
manpath ${TRUEPREFIX}/lib/tcl/tk8.5/man
