Package: tcl8.5
Version: 8.5.10-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

I'm currently working on cross-building bits of Debian and tcl8.5
fails to build. The reason is simple: tcl8.5 uses the just-built tclsh
binary to run scripts to install files into place.

I've patched the behaviour here to use mkdir and install instead in
the Makefile, and it does the right thing for both native and cross
builds as far as I can see.

Debdiff attached.

Cheers,
