The plan was to roll all that back so we could get to a simple, and some would argue, more standard build style:

- autoconf
- configure
- make

Not quite there yet though it seems... In the mean time, the README file is accurate, and contains instructions that illustrate how things differ from how the 4.0 and earlier versions are built.

Actually was configure changed back to being the main build?
Last time I played with it spent half a night writing a patch until Nate told me
to look at the Readme :-)

It was changed to doing
% /path/to/tclsh nsconfig.tcl

Which then calls configure- or has it been updated?

The build is still kinda shaky.  In theory, you could build like this
(on Debian):

$ ./configure TCLSH=/usr/bin/tclsh --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.4 $ make
$ make install

And it'll use the path specified in TCLSH as the executable to use to
execute the .tcl scripts.

I'm not sure I like this: for one, we should probably use autoconf to
auto-detect the tclsh binary using the TCL_EXEC_PREFIX from tclConfig.sh
or some other magic as a default.  That would probably eliminate the
most FAQ build issue with 4.5.0 that you ran up against.

The pre-3.3 gcc error you encountered I created a patch for and folks
have verified it fixes the problem, so I'll commit that now.

Thanks again for the feedback and congratulations on BookMooch.com, by
the way.  I love the Server: header.  :-)
