A port I'm working on (iTCL 3.0.1) depends on the source code for TCL 8.0 to compile - i.e. it's basically a TCL 8.0 extension and needs access to the source code to compile itself. How can I achieve this in the port skeleton? The TCL 8.0 port is a build-time dependency (libtcl80.so, etc), but it also needs to have the source tree extracted in /usr/ports. I could add the tcl8.0.4.tar.gz distfile to DISTFILES and have it unpacked it in itcl/work, but that seems like a waste of space (and not to mention I'd have to hack the build process which looks for TCL_SRC_DIR='/usr2/ports/lang/tcl80/work/tcl8.0.4' in tclConfig.sh). Any ideas? Kris ----- (ASP) Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) announced today that the release of its productivity suite, Office 2000, will be delayed until the first quarter of 1901.
