Configuration error on FreeBSD

There used to be an itcl/itk detection issue before 7.6.4 but it should have
been resolved. From the look of the configure output log, it's simply taking
the default configure setting that says to build itcl/itk as it's not been
extensively tested. If you manually add --disable-itcl-build and --disable-
itk-build to the configure options (e.g. edit the ports Makefile), that should
turn them off.

I wouldn't be surprised is something similar is happening with --enable-
optimized. According to the configure output, it was forced off via --
disable-optimized or via not providing --enable-optimized (since non-
optimized is the default for compilation performance). A quick glance at
what's in my ports tree indicates this is indeed the case given the
WITHOUT_OPTIMIZATION makefile logic. Looks like the port maintainer only
enabled optimized if the architecture is not alpha, sparc64, or amd64 for
some reason..

The config.log file in the work dir should shed some light on the issues but I
suspect it's simply a side effect of the FreeBSD ports build setup and the
relatively immaturity of the package in FreeBSD ports. Thanks for bringing it
to attention. I'd recommend filing a separate FreeBSD ports bug here so
others are aware that track the FreeBSD ports more closely: http://

I recently updated itcl to use Tcl/Tk 8.4.x (it used 8.3
before), I hope BRLCAD does the same.
Since this is amd64, enable-optimized must be active.

Erik never replied my private email, so I'll test the new
release and submit a PR to FreeBSD's ports team with at
least another cosmetical issue. All in all, the port has
been evolving very positively though.

Still no joy on building optimized with 7.6.6 :-(.

Here are a couple of other issues for port maintainer
(Erik), I don't have a solution yet so I haven't sent a PR.

- after reinstalling the new version there is no
/usr/local/bin/mged.

- Symlinking manually, the script mged.sh replies:
...
Unable to find 'lib/tcl8.4' within the BRL-CAD software
installation.
This copy of BRL-CAD may not be properly installed.

In my wishlist, it would be nice to use SDL too (from the
corresponding port).

got the optimized part working, currently working on the itcl/itk part. Will send-
pr and note the pr url here when done.

itcl/itk detection works correctly on FreeBSD now. Unfortunately, the port version of itcl and itk currently require tcl/tk 8.4 and BRL-CAD requires 8.5a6. I have PR's in to FreeBSD to update lang/itcl and x11-toolkits/itk and will update cad/brlcad to use them when/if they are accepted. Otherwise, I think I've done all that can be done for this one. Thanks!
