Hi...

Anyone successfully compiled tclx on 3.5?
As far i can see there are no tclx yet for tcl 8.4.5, and the tclx for
8.3.5 have serious problems compiling, even thou i have installed
tcl/tk 8.3.5 on my openbsd and it have access to the source as required.

i started a port, which i stashed here:

http://monkey.org/~jose/openbsd/ports/tclx-port.tar.gz

it is fundamentally difficult to compile on openbsd and respect the
ports tree setup because of a few things, namely: the tclConfig.sh
file points to the ports tree source for tcl 8.3, and the fact that
paths set in configure in tclx are not respected in the makefile. it
just required a lot of manual tweaks to get it to compile, or a lot of
patches to the build infrastructure for tclx. no patches to the source
were needed. it works just fine on openbsd, however, i use it pretty
much every day at work.

i have not tested it yet with tcl 8.4. i believe the CVS version of
tclx supports tcl 8.4.

hope this helps,
