Ok, I see what you mean WTR the . in lib names.
Trouble is, I run into compile problems related
to the shared library name when I add your change.
As far as I can tell, things compile ok on this
FreeBSD 4.3 machine I tested on before adding
your patch. Here is the compiler error that
shows up after adding your patch.

% make
...
rm -f libtcl84g.so.1
ld -Bshareable -x -o libtcl84g.so.1 regcomp.o regexec.o

-lm -lc  -o tclsh
/usr/libexec/elf/ld: cannot find -ltcl84g
*** Error code 1


Now, if I change the name of the output lib to
"libtcl84g.so" it links just fine. Thing is,
that does not create a "libtcl84g.so.1" symlink
like the system installed one.

$ pwd
/home/users/m/md/mdejong/project/install/freebsd/lib
bash-2.05$ ls -la  
total 1852
drwxr-xr-x  3 mdejong  users     4096 Sep  7 21:38 .
drwxr-xr-x  6 mdejong  users     4096 Sep  7 21:38 ..

-rw-r--r--  1 mdejong  users     7024 Sep  7 21:38
tclConfig.sh


(The system install)

$ ls -la /usr/local/lib/libtcl83*
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  784262 Apr 18 14:09
/usr/local/lib/libtcl83.a

/usr/local/lib/libtcl83.so -> libtcl83.so.1
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  555384 Apr 18 14:09
/usr/local/lib/libtcl83.so.1


Also, what does removing the -export-dynamic flag
from the LDFLAGS do? Someone must have added that
for some reason.

FreeBSD don't use dotted Shared Libs since it moved from
aout (3.x, 4.x, 5.x ).

ldd /usr/local/bin/wish8.3 
/usr/local/bin/wish8.3:
        libtk83.so => /usr/local/lib/libtk83.so
        libtcl83.so => /usr/local/lib/libtcl83.so
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6
        libm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libm.so.2
        libc.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc.so.4
        libXThrStub.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXThrStub.so.6


I think the patch make sure the lib names gets installed
with the right extensions.

Dirk, could you explain what problem this patch
is fixing and how exactly it fixes it? Also, could
you attach the patch instead of pasting it into
the text area? You should also make the patch
from the current CVS source so that it applies
cleanly.
