I build it for my own Debian systems. My notes on the process:
+ added packages tcl8.5-dev, tk8.5-dev, libgs-dev
+ configure said
+ can't find Tcl configuration script "tclConfig.sh"
+ tcl8.5-dev and tk8.5-dev were already installed, so
told it where to find it. Compiled tcl okay with
"./configure --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.5/"
+ Building xcircuit without ghostscript rendering
+ I installed libgs-dev to get the ghostscript headers.
It found those without help.
+ got an error in a tk console on a system with both 8.4 and 8.5
error in slave eval:
couldn't load file
"/usr/local/lib/xcircuit-3.8/xcircuit.so":
/usr/local/lib/xcircuit-3.8/xcircuit.so:
undefined symbol: Tcl_PkgInitStubsCheck
+ Caused by xcircuit trying to use wish8.4, but compiled
against wish8.5.
+ Solution is to manually edit /usr/local/bin/xcircuit and
change line 10 from
XCIRCUIT_WISH=/usr/bin/wish to
XCIRCUIT_WISH=/usr/bin/wish8.5
