Hi:
I compiled Tix to help someone out a few months ago, and it seemed to work.

This seems to go smoothly if you slavishly follow their directions. Since I already had the sources for tcl and tk in /sw/src as tarballs, I just blew those out manually in
/sw/src/tcl8.4.1
/sw/src/tk8.4.1
and then I manually put tix into
/sw/src/tix8.1.4
I configured and used make but not make install for each of tcl and tk (i.e., I followed to the letter the tix instructions). for each.
Then I installed tix. I could have configured with --prefix=/sw, and things would manually install into fink. But I am slightly paranoid, so I instead installed with no changes to the default, meaning all the tix stuff is in /usr/local
This worked fine but unfortunately I only could get my program (aria2.0) to run when I did the following:
I symbolically linked as follows:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/tix8.1 /sw/lib/tix8.1
sudo ln -s /usr/local/include/tix.h /sw/include/tix.h
and I also copied the Tix.py module into
/sw/lib/python2.2/Tix.py
So if one were to put together a fink package, the key would be to download all three tarballs, and do the above, except then install the stuff into fink. I could probably whip up an install script but I really would rather not have to maintain the package as I don't know a lot about it.
