Sorry, I never used and I don't know the code of the SCID's correspondence module. I too thought it required tcllib, but if that it's not the case, I'm not aware of any other part of SCID where tcllib is necessary. > I would note that although MacPorts "prefers" using shared rather than > bundled dependencies, I think the case of letting scid use a specific > known-working version of tklib tooltip, a single Tcl script file, is > okay. There was a bug in tklib's tooltip, and that's the reason why I included the library in SCID: https://sourceforge.net/p/scid/code/ci/c21d8b506a213a215a7f962f26075a270fe2dc1b/ I think the bug has been fixed: https://github.com/tcltk/tklib/commit/7216c350afa235950f100dd1c8eafe3f331d968f however, I too don't like the idea of requiring the full tklib just for one Tcl script file. Please also note that, even if the tklib's tooltip library is installed on the system, SCID will use it only if it is at least version 1.4.6: https://sourceforge.net/p/scid/code/ci/master/tree/tcl/utils/tooltip.tcl#l6 Bye, Fulvio _______________________________________________ Scid-users mailing list Scid-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scid-users
