So far it seems the preferred (and already implemented) solution would be to add jimtcl package and make usb-modeswitch to link against it. After all Debian does the same. Side benefit is having small Tcl interpreter which fits PTXdist more than full-blown Tcl. I'll send v2 after some more testing. _______________________________________________ ptxdist mailing list [email protected]
