Hi, the bug report below contains the bug description and also a suggestion for solving the problem. Should we provide better libtclstub8.4.a for the mentioned platform? Does the binary coming with ActiveTCL 8.4/8.5 do the trick?
Here it is: <<'EOS'; From: onitake via RT [mailto:bug-...@rt.cpan.org] Sent: Monday, April 19, 2010 9:09 PM Subject: [rt.cpan.org #56721] CPAN build of Tcl fails on darwin x86_64 Subject: CPAN build of Tcl fails on darwin x86_64 Ticket <URL: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=56721 > Hello. I wanted to report that installing Tcl-0.98 from CPAN fails on Mac OS X 10.6, because Tcl-0.98/tcl-core/darwin-universal/libtclstub8.4.a doesn't contain code for all required architectures. Apple ships Snow Leopard with Perl 5.10.0, built as universal binary for x86_64, i386 and ppc. The default CPAN compilation options contain thus "-arch x86_64 -arch i386 -arch ppc", for both compilation and linking. The included libtclstub8.4.a on the other hand has only an i386 and a ppc component. There is a /System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.4/libtclstub8.4.a that contains all three architectures, so I assume it would be better to use this instead and fall back to the included version when it's not available? Both Tcl and Tkx test and install flawlessly if I make a symlink to the system version of the library. Thanks & Best regards, oni EOS Thanks in advance for a good advise, Vadim.
