I ported it fairly easily by just getting the necessary headers.
Good to know. Did you put them into /System/Library/Tcl where the
OS X's Tcl resides, or somewhere else (because /System is supposed
to be left unchanged)?
Yep, it's a shame that they're not all shipped by default.
True, but easy to change for Apple ;-))
Anyways, considering the scope of this list and as has been
mentioned plenty of times already in it's short history, try
As far as Fink goes, I must admit that I'm no friend of its
philosophy. IMHO, software should be ported so that it's compatible
with the rest of Darwin, instead of sitting in its own realm, and
the patches should be integrated back into the main development
branch, so that no more special porting for Mac OS X is necessary
in the future. The way Fink does it, it only stabilizes the gap
between OS X and the other Unices.
Besides, it's very inflexible, and my task of porting expect is a
good example for that: I only want to build expect, but if I did it
with Fink, I'd also have to build Tcl (though already present on OS
X!), and - because with Fink I'm given no choice in configuring
Tcl - also Tk, which in turn means I must build XFree - tons of MBs
of things I really don't need.
