Cannot build extreme tuxracer Slackware64
The build fails when configure can't find tclConfig.sh. This is not on my system, and seems to be part of tcl-dev. I can't seem to find a package or source code for a tcl8.5-dev. I have googled till my eyes hurt. :)

That file is part of tcl, install the tcl package or the t series.
|
It is installed. This is a full install of Slackware64. But I am going to re-install the t series again anyway. There always could be a defect.
|
That didn't work, and looking at the package in mc shows that tclConfig.sh is not there. It's not that big a deal.
|
At least in 32 bits -current, the file is indeed part of the tcl package:
Code:
# slackroll local-search tclConfig Edit: I went further and downloaded the tcl package for Slackware64, and the file is also present, in /usr/lib64. |
It's actually quite simple :)
The ./configure script gives the solution: Quote:
Code:
./configure --with-tcl=/usr/lib64 I just compiled it on my Slackware64-current and am dizzy from flying :D The error is in the "configure.ac" file from upstream - they do not search for tclConfig.sh in the 64-bit library folder. |
Thanks - I will try that later!
|
Well, it compiled, installed, then I heard the music, but nothing on the display except input not supported. On to google.
|
uhm, ok... that's a different kind of problem.
Here it worked from the start. Do you have any special input device that may make it complain? I just have a standard keyboard (ps/2) + mouse (usb) here. |
The same input for me, but I believe its related to the monitor and/or the nvidia driver. My monitor is a widescreen 1440x900 @ 70 mhz. I'm betting the problem is in there somewhere.
I'm at work now until 4:00 am CST. I will try again tomorrow. Maybe the new xorg as well? |

It has to do with the default screensize. Change the settings in the etracer file in your /home/ and you'll be fine. :) Edit/Update: Installed etracer, checked (I've got a 1440x900 monitor as well) it and indeed, the default settings cause trouble. Modify ~/.etracer/options like this: Code:
# x_resolution |
Thanks adriv! I'll try that in the morning. Kinda figured that may be the problem. That's the problem with work - not enough time for Slack(ing). :)
|
That worked! Edited and running. Its more difficult than the original tuxracer and a lot of fun.
