I'm trying to track down an apparent bug in tk3.6 under FreeBSD 1.1.
As a first step, I tried to build tk3.6 from source.
Compiling ports/x11/tk from the 2nd issue of BSDisc (which should be identical
to freebsd.cdrom.com around the time of the BSDisc master date) failed like
this:
-------------------------------------------------------
rm -f libtk.a
ar cr libtk.a tk3d.o tkArgv.o tkAtom.o tkBind.o tkBitmap.o tkCmds.o tkColor.o t
kConfig.o tkCursor.o tkError.o tkEvent.o tkFocus.o tkFont.o tkGet.o tkGC.o tkGe
ometry.o tkGrab.o tkMain.o tkOption.o tkPack.o tkPlace.o tkPreserve.o tkSelect.

tkTextTag.o
ar: tkFScale.o: No such file or directory.
*** Error code 1
Stop.
-------------------------------------------------------
I figured there was a file missing, so I looked for another source of tk3.6.
Freebsd.cdrom.com is pretty busy these days, so I got it from
ftp.cs.berkeley.edu, the "home" system of tk/tcl.
The version from ucb builds cleanly: it does not contain any file tkFScale.*,
but neither does it attempt to include it in the library.
So, what's up with this?
