Hi,
I will prepare the upgrade from wordnet version 2.0 to 2.1. Happily upstream
added automake support. The new tarball is avialable at
http://wordnet.princeton.edu/2.1/WordNet-2.1.tar.gz
I faced the following problem:
Formerly (version 2.0) I compiled wordnet nicely with tcl8.4-dev Build-Depends.
If I run ./configure I get
...
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking dependency style of gcc... gcc3
checking for Tcl configuration... configure: WARNING: Can't find Tcl
configuration definitions
When I try
$ auto-apt -x -y run
> ./configure
the package tcl8.0-dev and its dependencies will be installed. I have
absolutely
no idea about Tcl/Tk issues but it smells that tcl8.4-dev is not a full featured
replacement for tcl8.0-dev. This sounds a little bit sad to me because I do not
want to step back in the version numbers of the dependencies if this is not
really
necessary.
Any idea whether
a) this is a bug of tcl8.4-dev package or if this behaviour is intended
b) this should be fixed in the wordnet source. I tried a quick shot
$ grep -i tcl * | grep -i version
acinclude.m4: # installed and uninstalled version of Tcl.
acinclude.m4:# AC_SUBST(TCL_VERSION)
configure:ac_subst_vars='SHELL PATH_SEPARATOR PACKAGE_NAME PACKAGE_TARNAME
PACKAGE_VERSION PACKAGE_STRING PACKAGE_BUGREPORT exec_prefix prefix
program_transform_name bindir sbindir libexecdir datadir sysconfdir
sharedstatedir localstatedir libdir includedir oldincludedir infodir mandir
build_alias host_alias target_alias DEFS ECHO_C ECHO_N ECHO_T LIBS CC CFLAGS

TK_LIB_SPEC TK_LIBS TK_XINCLUDES TK_PREFIX LTLIBOBJS'
configure: # installed and uninstalled version of Tcl.
configure:# AC_SUBST(TCL_VERSION)
which did not showed any explicite dependency from a certain Tcl version.
Kind regards
Andreas.
