#4472 error in building outside tcl tree

[Rene]

Tcl Version: HEAD
OS Platform: win and unix
- Problem:
I can not compile outside the source tree like:
cd mydir
/tcldir/win/configure ...
make
- Fixing:
The error is the statement
--with-tcl=$(PWD)
in the packages target. Changing these to
--with-tcl=$(LIB_INSTALL_DIR)
fixes the problem
The same should be done in the unix dir.

Works for me with a Unix (OSX) build; it uses the tclConfig.sh created as part of building tcl.

Compiling works for me, but I do see some
problems with `make test`. Seems that the
[package require http 2] inside http.test is
picking up version 2.5.3 while several of the
tests need the features of version 2.7.*

Similarly, [package require msgcat 1.4.2]
is picking up version 1.4.2, but that version
does not work with any stable release of Tcl
since it includes the {expand} syntax.

[Don Porter]

OOPS! Those errors came from placing my
build directory too near an old install directory.

Doing the build in a clear area works fine.
