Description Mike Edenfield 2005-06-30 16:20:17 UTC 
There is a known problem building Tcl v8.4.10 with GCC 3.x.  The problem is apparently hidden by a bug in gcc4.0.  This problem is resolved in the CVS version of Tcl but the fix hasn't made it into a release version yet.

Fix: Add the following patch file to lang/tcl84/files:

I can build tcl 8.4.10 just fine with 

/usr/ports/lang/tcl84 # gcc --version 
gcc (GCC) 3.4.2 [FreeBSD] 20040728

Comment 3 Mike Edenfield 2005-06-30 19:47:47 UTC 
The problem appears to be specific to the threaded Tcl.  That is, I have 
WITH_THREADS defined in /etc/make.conf.  When I build lang/tcl84 with 
this configuration, I receive this error:

tclUnixNotfy.c: In function `Tcl_FinalizeNotifier':
tclUnixNotfy.c:297: too few arguments to function `Tcl_JoinThread'

The thread from tcl-core which describes the problem can be found here:

A better patch (the one that is actually in Tcl's CVS) is:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/tcl/tcl/unix/tclUnixNotfy.c?r1=1.11.2.11&r2=1.11.2.12&diff_format=u

Patched in CVS, thank you!
