Could be real, I need to investigate.

Comment 3 George Petasis 2013-08-09 06:44:08 UTC
It would be nice if it could make it for fedora 20...

Comment 5 Jaroslav Škarvada 2013-08-15 15:24:53 UTC
At least it now builds OK in rawhide, private branches:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/tcl.git/?h=private-master-8.6
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/tk.git/?h=private-master-8.6

Checking rebuild of all other packages that have tcl/tk as direct dep (cca. 120 packages).

Comment 6 Jaroslav Škarvada 2013-08-16 08:02:18 UTC
More than 40 % of builds failed. Sorry, it's probably unreal to resolve this all for f20, change freeze is approaching. I will propose this as a Change for f21.

Would it be okay to build it for Fedora 19? I mean I build it by myself.

I tried only on rawhide, but I think it should build on F19 as well. But this is unsupported, I do not plan to deliver such update to the F19 (due to many packages that needs rebuild).

Comment 9 Christopher Meng 2013-08-17 01:46:42 UTC
Yes, that's the policy of Fedora. 

Due to so many FTBFS problem, may be we should start working for f21.

Comment 10 George Petasis 2013-08-17 09:51:18 UTC
From what I understand, tck/tk 8.6 builds, but many other packages fail. Is there a way I can see these failing packages and try to help?

Thanks. Yes, the SPECs from the private branches above built now both OK in the rawhide. I tried to rebuilt depending packages locally in the mock. From the logs it seems many failures are the same problems, it shouldn't be probably hard to fix. The list of packages that failed:
http://www.fpaste.org/33031/

If you are interested I can upload the build logs as well. I will start creating patches later this week. I plan to create/request rebuild tag after the f20 will be branched.

Comment 12 Jaroslav Škarvada 2013-08-19 11:37:17 UTC
It seems that many of the failures can be workarounded by rebuilding the failing packages with the -DUSE_INTERP_ERRORLINE and -DUSE_INTERP_RESULT CFLAGS. Several other packages needs fixing their SPECs and Makefiles as they link directly with the libtcl/tk8.5. I will go through it step-by-step.

Comment 13 George Petasis 2013-08-19 17:15:06 UTC
I see. Both are easy to fix, and they occurred because now the interpreter pointer does not actually allow access to any of its structure fields.
We have to substitute reads of interp->result with (char *) Tcl_GetStringResult(interp), and writes to interp->result = <value> with Tcl_SetResult(interp, <value>, TCL_VOLATILE).

Similarly, reads of interp->errorLine should use Tcl_GetErrorLine(interp),
and writes interp->errorLine = <value> should use Tcl_SetErrorLine(interp, <value>).

For extensions (that will be loaded into a tcl interpreter) that link directly to the tcl library, the definition -DUSE_TCL_STUBS must be used (and -DUSE_TK_STUBS) for extensions that use also Tk.
Tcl extensions must call Tcl_InitStubs(interp, TCL_VERSION, 0) in their *_Init() functions.

I am trying to install rawhide into a WMWare 9 Workstation, but without much luck for the time being...

I am going to start the work later this week.

A SELF CONTAINED change for Fedora 21? Will you create a new page of this?

I am not sure about it now, but we could create one.

Comment 18 Christopher Meng 2014-02-22 13:08:36 UTC
F21 has started to scrape changes, any updates on this one?
