[tcltk-perl] building Perl/Tcl for TclTkAquaBI 8.4.10 problem (resolved)

[Konovalov, V. <vko...@sp...>]

Dear all,

Mac OS 10.3 user reports a poblem which was solved by providing defaults.
I am inclined to apply a change, but I have no chance to check it for MacOS.

Here is explanation and then patch at the bottom:

>I experienced difficulty building Tcl under Mac OS 10.3 against TclTkAquaBI
8.4.10 (http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/) using the default invocation of
Makefile.PL. It builds fine (AND passes the self-test) if you invoke
Makefile.PL with --tclconfig /usr/lib/tclConfig.sh. Since this is the
location reported by tclsh tclcfg.tcl, maybe the best way to deal with this
is to force the Darwin build through the --tclconfig. I have appended the
canonical information, and the output of some commands. The diff -u output
at the end implements the suggested patch.
