Folks,

I try to build Tcl9 from sources on a minmalistic Debian installation.
At least it has no zip installed. It seems that the build process
then uses minizip which is part of the release.
I saw that minizip is build and used succesfully at least once.

But later on I get this error (german lang/localisation): ---------------------------------------------------------------
<snip>
creating libthread.vfs/thread_library (prepare compression)

cd libthread.vfs && /home/schmitzu/ent/buildt9/toolsBuild/tcl9.0.0/unix/pkgs8/thread3.0.0/minizip -o -r ../libthread3.0.0.zip *

It seems that the thread package uses minizip in the wrong place.
Can anyone confirm this or does anyone know how to patch?
(beside installing zip...)

Many thanks in advance
Uwe

This is a commonly reported issue. Afaik, there is no current
alternative to installing zip. It's possible specifying
"--disable-zipfs" as part of the configure step might work but not
tested it myself. (It would install the Tcl scripts as separate files
similar to 8.6 instead of appending them to the shared library.)

I believe that this is a build configuration error. The minizip tool is
build succesfully before and can be found in the unix folder.

And if you look at the error:

/bin/bash: Zeile 5: /home/schmitzu/ent/buildt9/toolsBuild/tcl9.0.0/unix/ pkgs8/thread3.0.0/minizip: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden

there is an extra blank between .../tcl9.0.0/unix an the rest. Simply
append minizip and it should be ok.

When I change the ZIP_PROG line in pkgs/thread/configure:

# It is not an error if an installed version of Zip can't be located.
# We can use the locally distributed minizip instead
ZIP_PROG="./minizip${EXEEXT_FOR_BUILD}"
ZIP_PROG_OPTIONS="-o -r"

to
ZIP_PROG="../../minizip${EXEEXT_FOR_BUILD}"

the build runs succesful to the end.

Nevertheless I don't think it's the right place. Usually the
configure script is build by autotools. May be a build expert
can have a look at this.

Ah, and the blank in the path ist not there. Seems to result from
copy/paste. Sorry for that.

This issue is fixed in the upcoming Tcl 9.0.1 and Thread 3.0.1. You may
build from the repository heads if you need it immediately.
