[Scidvspc-users] TkImg fix for Mint 15

[Steve A <ste...@gm...>]

Looks like i've switched my desktop to the 32 bit KDE version of Linux Mint  :)

Sorry for the rant ... but two shitty releases of Fedora is more than
i can handle.
Gnome 3.8 (deafult Fed19 GUI) is some special kind of cr*p  imho,
and Fed18's installer was just broken.

Mint's interface is probably the best Desktop Linux i've ever seen :-) ,
so here's hoping i don't find any major problems with the Ubuntu backend.

Anyway - i had to make a fix to the TkImg source to get it to compile,
as Mint 15 has hit a typo in the configure script.
Here is the link for my source.

Hopefully all you'll have to do is
  ./configure --prefix=/usr
[omit the '-prefix=/usr' if you've done a custom installation of tcl//tk]
  make
  sudo make install
and after relaunching Scid you'll have the cool png pieces that
require TkImg  support.

PS - There is also some messgae about
  "Building .... without threads enabled, but building against a Tcl
that IS thread-enabled."
But it seems to not be an issue so far.

S.A.
