Little error (not harmful) exists in tcl.SlackBuild (source slackbuilds for Tcl)
 

Hello, I think there is a little error in the slackbuild for tcl (tcl.SlackBuilds in directory sources) in Slackware-13.0, Slackware-13.1, Slackware-13.37 and Slackware-14.0. The little error is in the variable CONFARGS="--enable-64bits" that is used in the configure script:

if [ "$ARCH" = "i486" ]; then
SLKCFLAGS="-O2 -march=i486 -mtune=i686"
LIBDIRSUFFIX=""
CONFARGS="--enable-64bit"
elif [ "$ARCH" = "s390" ]; then
SLKCFLAGS="-O2"
LIBDIRSUFFIX=""
CONFARGS="--enable-64bit"
elif [ "$ARCH" = "x86_64" ]; then
SLKCFLAGS="-O2 -fPIC"
LIBDIRSUFFIX="64"
CONFARGS=""
elif [ "$ARCH" = "arm" ]; then
SLKCFLAGS="-O2 -march=armv4 -mtune=xscale"
LIBDIRSUFFIX=""
CONFARGS=""
elif [ "$ARCH" = "armel" ]; then
SLKCFLAGS="-O2 -march=armv4t"
LIBDIRSUFFIX=""
CONFARGS=""
fi

The variable CONFARG with value "--enable-64bits" only must be define for the x86_64 architecture (ARCH=x86_64).
The error is not harmful because the configure script discarded the --enable-64bit option because it find nonsense.

You should mail this to the maintainer.

Thank you for your suggestion but i thought Slackware maintainers read this forum priodically.

Well, the mail is more straightforward.
