port install itk fails to build

[dhoelzer@…]

I'm trying to install sguil-client, which depends on itk. itk fails to build with the following output:

Looks like a version mismatch: 8.4.14 vs 8.5.2.

[dhoelzer@…]

How would you recommend that I fix this? I took a clean Leopard box, installed XCode, installed MacPorts, updated and then did "port install sguil-client". It arrived at this failed dependency on its own.

Thanks!

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Apparently the unreleased version 3.3.1 of itcl is needed for compatibility with Tcl 8.5. Maybe we could make a tarball from a CVS checkout.

[dhoelzer@…]

It's been a while.. I thought I'd check back and see if there is a recommended resolution that I can apply now.

Thanks!

[markd@…]

I see that itk 3.4 from CVS is supposed to work with Tcl 8.5, but I can't make it work for me yet.

[markd@…]

Tcl 8.5 is breaking a lot of things. I wonder if it is feasible to create a tcl84 port. Anyway, you can install Tcl 8.4 from a local port and the problems go away.

On another note, I created the sguil-client port thinking I'd use it, but I never did. I have unreleased copies of sguil-sensor and sguil-server also. All you can do with the client is to login to another sguil installation. If someone would like to be a maintainer for sguil, I could release the other parts. Or I could anyway, it's just that it is a complex app and more do-it-yourself than most apps so I was reluctant to do it. The other ports may be buggy.

@dhoelzer

Create a local ports directory per the macports guide (​http://guide.macports.org). Download the Portfiles for 8.4.16 tcl and tk from the macports trac (​http://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports) and copy the Portfile for itk over to the local ports directory.

sudo port install itk. done.

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

I modified my tcl/tk ports to use 8.4.19. The problem with making tcl84 and tk84 ports is that there is some symbolic links that are created, so it wouldn't be feasible to install the standard 8.5 versions at the same time. Also, since a bunch of ports rely on tcl and/or tk, we'd have to branch all of those ports to have tcl/tk84 versions too! Perhaps a tcl_tk_select program could be created to remedy that problem.

Can this be closed after r77602?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I'll assume it's fixed now.
