Tcl Source Code

The attached patch removes the need to generate the
mklinks shell script, and adds a --enable-man-prefix
switch to configure, that allows to prefix all manpages
with e.g. tcl_ to avoid name clashes.

The patch is against 8.4.6.

The autoconf docu says that --with-* switches are for adding
external packages, and --enable-* for additional features,
and I think the manpage suffix thing is an optional feature
rather than an external papckage.

The change is in 8.4.8, and 8.5a2 now, BTW.

Should it be --with-man-suffix=??? instead of
--enable-man-suffix=???

Please apply to 8-4-branch and 8.5a2/3 for Tcl and Tk.

Oops - how could I forget Tk :(

Of course I have such a patch in my Tk package, too.
I have updated it for 8.4.7, and added the fixes that went
into the tcl patch yesterday. I am attaching it here rather
than creating a separate item in the Tk tracker to keep them
together.

I'll also update the Tcl patch once more, because of a
little addition I had to make to the sed script inside
installManPages for Tk, and I want installManPages to be
identical for Tcl and Tk.

this would need to be applied for Tk as well in some form,
correct?

The updated patch should fix this.
It is against core-8-4-branch.

This fails with things like:

Installing and cross-linking C API (.3) docs
ln: accessing `Tcl_Access.3': No such file or directory

This will not be considered for 8.4.7 - let's try this in 8.5.

I assume this obsoletes mkLinks completely, and what about
the mkLinks.tcl file (that too, right)?
