#22536 closed defect (fixed)

fix blt 2.4z build

Reported by: howarth@… Owned by: mf2k (Frank Schima)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version: 1.8.1
Keywords: haspatch Cc:
Port: blt

Description

The attached packaging allows blt to be built under the current MacPorts 1.8.1 packages on Snow Leopard. It uses the Fedora Core 12 patches...

1) blt-2.4z-tcl8.5-fix.patch to eliminate duplicate declarations. 2) blt2.4z-noexactversion.patch to eliminate a problem with later tcl/tk 8.5.x versions. 3) blt-x86_64.patch to fix the 64-bit build.

This builds fine under current MacPorts 1.8.1 and works great with pymol and its APBS tool panel.

Note that none of the current Linux distros has a blt that works perfectly. In fact the complete set of Gentoo patches for blt (including their forked tarball) badly breaks pymol's apbs tool suppprt. For a perfect blt under tcl 8.5, we will have to wait for blt 3.0 which is under heavy development in its cvs.

SOS, tell me exactly what I should do to fix the errors

I am not a programmer but have to work on OMNeT in MAC 10.6, that requires tcl/tk (already installed) + blt.

Here what I did:

  1. Install Macport.
  2. try to install blt: sudo port install blt
  3. the system install the related stuff (including tcl and tk).
  4. Lastly, at the moment "building blt", the screen shows errors: conflict with TCL and TK .

Please help me !

I don't know what I have to do with the patch files here.

Million thanks in advance
