Yes, you are welcome to introduce flag for Makefile.PL, you can use Tcl’s Makefile.PL as reference, or be on your own. But mostly Makefile.PL already have some code for appetizer.
TIA, Vadim From: Christopher Chavez [mailto:chrischa...@gmx.us] Sent: Monday, July 30, 2018 3:14 PM To: tcltk@perl.org Subject: Bypass test-for-tk.tcl? For the MacPorts portfiles I made for both Tcl::Tk and Tcl::pTk, I currently use a patch to remove the `$tclsh test-for-tk.tcl` usage from Makefile.PL, since it doesn't work from MacPorts (either there is no X server available to the user that MacPorts runs as, or perl somehow isn’t getting any output from tclsh): cf. https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/2036/files#diff-e284154b6d6ebcccb1e2d72b7d3d318f https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/2231/files#diff-95d5f695478328ce2638066699edf49b https://trac.macports.org/ticket/56825 Would it be appropriate to add a flag for Makefile.PL to skip running test-for-tk, for uses such as MacPorts where (hopefully) any dependencies are already installed correctly. Then, all that’s needed by the portfiles are the flag, rather than a patch (which has to stay current with test-for-tk is being run). Or, some better alternative I haven’t thought of?
