Installation of Tk
Install <application>Tk</application> by running the following commands:
<userinput>cd unix &amp;&amp;
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--mandir=/usr/share/man \
$([ $(uname -m) = x86_64 ] &amp;&amp; echo --enable-64bit) &amp;&amp;

make &amp;&amp;

sed -e "s@^\(TK_SRC_DIR='\).*@\1/usr/include'@" \
-e "/TK_B/s@='\(-L\)\?.*unix@='\1/usr/lib@" \
-i tkConfig.sh</userinput>
Running the tests is not recommended. Failures will be reported during the tests, depending on the screen resolution/capabilities, fonts installed and other X related parameters, but the end report can show 0 failures. Some tests will steal focus and some might crash your X Server. To test the results anyway, issue: <command>make test</command>. Ensure you run it from an X Window display device with the GLX extensions loaded, but even so, tests might hang.
Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:
<userinput>make install &amp;&amp;
make install-private-headers &amp;&amp;
ln -v -sf wish&tk-ver; /usr/bin/wish &amp;&amp;
chmod -v 755 /usr/lib/libtk&tk-ver;.so</userinput>
Command Explanations
<parameter>$([ $(uname -m) = x86_64 ] &amp;&amp; echo --enable-64bit)</parameter>: This switch is used to enable 64 bit support in <application>Tk</application> on 64 bit operating systems.
<command>make install-private-headers</command>: This command is used to install the <application>Tk</application> library interface headers used by other packages if they link to the <application>Tk</application> library.
<command>ln -v -sf wish&tk-ver; /usr/bin/wish</command>: This command is used to create a compatibility symbolic link to the <command>wish&tk-ver;</command> file as many packages expect a file named <command>wish</command>.
<command>sed -e ... tkConfig.sh</command>: The <application>Tk</application> package expects that its source tree is preserved so that packages depending on it for their compilation can utilize it. This <command>sed</command> removes the references to the build directory and replaces them with saner system-wide locations.
