Problems installing tk8.3.5 on Fedora Core 2

fivebyfive · 01-18-2005, 02:16 PM

I'm runinng Fedora Core 2:

uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.5-1.358 #1 Sat May 8 09:04:50 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I have successfully installed tcl 8.3.5, but am having difficulties when I try to make tk8.3.5.
The make process then ends with:

cc -pipe -c -O -D__NO_STRING_INLINES -D__NO_MATH_INLINES -Wall -Wconversion -Wno-implicit-int -fPIC -I/home/maryp/tk8.3.5/unix -I/home/maryp/tk8.3.5/unix/../generic -I/home/maryp/tk8.3.5/unix/../bitmaps -I/home/maryp/tcl8.3.5/generic -I/usr/X11R6/include -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_LIMITS_H=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TIME_H=1 -DTIME_WITH_SYS_TIME=1 -DHAVE_PW_GECOS=1 -DTCL_NO_DEPRECATED -DUSE_TCL_STUBS /home/maryp/tk8.3.5/unix/tkUnixDraw.c
/home/maryp/tk8.3.5/unix/tkUnixDraw.c: In function `TkScrollWindow':
/home/maryp/tk8.3.5/unix/tkUnixDraw.c:73: warning: implicit declaration of function `XCopyArea'
/home/maryp/tk8.3.5/unix/tkUnixDraw.c:97: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be
make: *** [tkUnixDraw.o] Error 1

I need tcl/tk 8.3.5, not 8.4 as is supplied on my LINUX disks.

Thanks in advance!

I am getting this problem while installing tk8.5.6. Did fivebyfive ever get it sorted out? If so, what's the solution?

i dont think they're going to tell you if they did or not, from their profile:

Function 'XCopyArea' uses no prototype defined in the header files and based on source code declaration it is supposed to return a void value. For some reason there is a variable in the source that wants to use the void return value of 'XCopyArea', which is obviously an error.

There are several reasons why tcl/tk 8.4 is better than tcl/tk 8.3.5 - one of the reasons is bugfixing.

If you really need to stick with tcl/tk 8.3.5, then find the problem in the source code and correct it before compilation.
