  • Difficulties installing Tcl Thread package

    From Luis Mendes@21:1/5 to All on Tue Oct 17 14:38:09 2023
    Hi,

    I'd like to install the Tcl Thread package for my 8.6.13 Tcl version.

    The 2.9 branch from https://core.tcl-lang.org/thread/timeline?y=ci seems
    to be meant for newer versions of Tcl, so I downloaded the tarball from
    the last commit for version 2.8 - https://core.tcl-lang.org/thread/info/ 48e507d6c9591a01.

    I wanted to install it in a RedHat machine but also tried this in a Devuan x86_64 box.

    Tried to follow the instructions.
    Extract and gunzip.
    cd unix
    In file 'CONFIG' Uncommented the lines:
    # grep -v '^#' CONFIG
    CC=gcc; export CC
    ../configure --enable-threads

    Then 'make' and `make test`.

    Tests ended at Tue Oct 17 15:35:40 WEST 2023
    all.tcl: Total 139 Passed 123 Skipped 16 Failed 0 Sourced 0 Test Files.
    Number of tests skipped for each constraint:
    8 have_gdbm
    8 have_lmdb


    Everything Ok, but `make install` fails.
    It is meant to be installed in /usr/local by default.

    In both distros, it fails with:

    # make install
    /bin/bash: ../tclconfig/install-sh: No such file or directory
    make: *** [Makefile:460: install-lib-binaries] Error 127


    Am I missing something, or is the installation broken?


    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Luís,

    the tread package is bundled with the tcl distribution. So, you may
    extract the source from the tcl8.6.13 source distribution (folder
    "pck"). If you would build TCL from source from the distro, it will automatically include the thread package.

    About your issue. The "make install" does not know where to put the
    resulting dll. I suppose, /usr/local" is just a default.

    When TCL is build, a "tclConfig.sh" file is created which contains all
    the informations to build other packages. The path to this file should
    be specified with the "./configure" command.

    I am on Windows, sorry, no many details, but I suppose, this should help.

    Take care,
    Harald

    Hi Harald,

    I tried to find that tclConfig.sh file:

    # find / -iname tclConfig.sh
    /usr/lib/tcl8.6/tclConfig.sh
    /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/tcl8.6/tclConfig.sh

    The first one just points to the second.

    As per the instructions, I edited the file 'unix/CONFIG' as:
    unix# grep -v '^#' CONFIG
    CC=gcc; export CC
    ../configure --enable-threads \
    --with-tcl=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/tcl8.6/


    Did the `make`, returns successfully, although the last line says:
    "Zip entry offsets appear off by 98360 bytes - correcting..."


    When `make install`, the same error:
    unix# make install
    /bin/bash: ../tclconfig/install-sh: No such file or directory
    make: *** [Makefile:460: install-lib-binaries] Error 127

    Should this `../tclconfig/install-sh` be created by the `make install`?
    Where?

    AFAIK, install-sh is a script which basically copies files.
    It is part of the TCL build machinery.

    https://core.tcl-lang.org/tclconfig

    This is always included in TCL. Maybe, you have a tcl-develop package,
    which includes this file ?

    Or the TEA files must be added to the thread source files. The windows
    files are there, but no Unix files.

    You are missing the tclconfig (aka TEA) package.

    Hi Greg,

    The Devuan machine has the tcl-thread package, but it's only a test box.
    I need tcl-thread at a RHEL 8.6 system, and tcl-thread (or similar) can't
    be found as a package.

    I followed the instructions, but the problem is still:

    Tcl_package_Thread_source_code-48e507d6c9/unix$ sudo make install
    /bin/bash: ../tclconfig/install-sh: No such file or directory
    make: *** [Makefile:460: install-lib-binaries] Error 127

    Probably, I wouldn't have any problems in my old Slackware systems, but
    it's not my choice to use RHEL.

    Thanks,


    Luis

    That tclconfig file is not installed in the system.
    I can only find it at my home:

    Regarding development files for Tcl, there's these two installed, don't
    know what is the difference between them or why Devuan/Debian have these
    two different packages.
    # apt search tcl | grep installed | grep dev
    tcl-dev/stable,now 8.6.13 amd64 [installed]
    tcl8.6-dev/stable,now 8.6.13+dfsg-2 amd64 [installed]

    How did you install Tcl/Tk on redhat?
    From source or package manager (e.g. dnf)

    What is with:
    dnf info <package_name>
    or
    dnf info tcl-thread

    /bin/bash: ../tclconfig/install-sh: No such file or directory
    make: *** [Makefile:460: install-lib-binaries] Error 127

    Probably, I wouldn't have any problems in my old Slackware systems, but
    it's not my choice to use RHEL.

    Thanks,


    Luis

    I only have access to RHEL 8.8, but these are the packages that
    are installed on the system (via yum, no custom building) that
    let me do "package require Thread" in tclsh8.6 successfully.


    yum list installed | grep tcl
    tcl.x86_64 1:8.6.8-2.el8 @rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms tcl-devel.x86_64 1:8.6.8-2.el8 @rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms tcl-thread.x86_64 2.8.8-1.el8 @epel
    tcllib.noarch 1.19-3.el8 @epel
    tcltls.x86_64 1.7.22-6.el8 @epel

    ("tcltls" will not be needed for this)

    Hi,

    I'd like to install the Tcl Thread package for my 8.6.13 Tcl
    version.

    with paket -manager

    apt search tcl-thread

    or links to to compile:

    https://www.tcl-lang.org/doc/howto/compile.html

    Hi Greg,

    The Devuan machine has the tcl-thread package, but it's only a test
    box. I need tcl-thread at a RHEL 8.6 system, and tcl-thread (or
    similar) can't be found as a package.

    I followed the instructions, but the problem is still:

    Tcl_package_Thread_source_code-48e507d6c9/unix$ sudo make install
    /bin/bash: ../tclconfig/install-sh: No such file or directory make: ***
    [Makefile:460: install-lib-binaries] Error 127 Probably, I wouldn't

    How did you install Tcl/Tk on redhat?
    From source or package manager (e.g. dnf)
    Hi Greg,

    There were older versions, so I installed from source.


    What is with:
    dnf info <package_name>
    or dnf info tcl-thread
    Error: No matching Packages to list


    Thank you,

    Luis
