Where can i download the latest available TCL/TK binary distribution or "setld" packages for Tru64 from?.
The latest one i was able to obtain was the OS default for Tru64 v.5.1B, i.e.:
TCL version 8.2 , patchlevel 8.2.1
I would need some version 8.5.7 or greater.
In case the binaries are not available ... has anyone tried to compile TCL v.8.5.7+ from sources under "Tru64 v.5.1_something" OS successfully?, Does it compile/link/install easily?. (I have not tried yet, so i would appreciate any hint if it needs some trick or adjustment, not to re-invent the wheel).
TIA,
Javier.

So i must assume there are no downloadable TCL/TK binaries available since version 8.2.1+ for Tru64. (I just wonder why).
I have downloaded the sources yesterday late, i have had not much time to check them yet. I am quite a bit busy now, so i would still appreciate it if someone have tried it already (**for Tru64 UNIX, porting a version later than 8.2.1 **) and can tell me if this is a right away process, just porting them to Tru64. Or if i should reserve perhaps more than, let say, a pair of hours for that purpose. :-)
With the change you pointed in the Makefile (after default configuration) it took me less than five minutes to install TCL v.8.5.7 in a "hp AlphaServer ES47 7/1000".
Later i will try the "--enable-64bit" flag in the "configure" script, because it is not taken by default.
Also I have to think out weather i should use some other non-default options like "--enable-threads" in the "configure" script rather than the default ones or not, for Tru64.
