Compiling error /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltclstub84

I'm trying to install tclx-8.4 but after typing make I get the following error.

Stop in /usr/local/src/tclx8.4 (line 261 of Makefile).

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Are you installing this from ports or by hand?

OlRoy · 01-25-2007, 08:34 PM

By hand... I'm using OBSD 4.0 and unfortunately there isn't a port for it.

And you've already installed tcl 8.4?

OlRoy · 01-25-2007, 09:55 PM

Yeah that's already installed...

When you ran configure, did it find your TCL libraries? Usually configure catches this error pretty well.

Awsome, I think it works now. I took your advice and tried it with ./configure --with-tcl=/usr/local/stow/tcl-8.4.14 and it seems to of worked. Do you know of a way I can verify that it installed correctly?

You should be able to find the files in lib/tclx84/ they will end with .tcl and they should be there. tclx.tcl should be one of them.

I am not sure exactly what or where it installed... but once you locate the libraries you'll know the prefix it used and everything should be fine. The best way to know if it worked would be to use it and see if things compile/run correctly against the libraries.
