tk installed, but cannot build tk-app

tried to build http://zakros.ucsd.edu/~arobert/hanzim.html

[...]
cc -o hanzim hanwin.o hanzim.o hinit.o hutil.o -L /usr/X11/lib -L /usr/lib -ltk -ltcl -lX11 -lm -ldl  -s
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltk
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [hanzim] Error 1
==> Build Failed. Aborting...

where are these libs? do i need something else than the "tk"-package? (?libtk?) please help

Re: tk installed, but cannot build tk-app

withot seeing the source my guess is that somewhere in the configure script or makefille they have set the path to look for the tk libraries and arch does not use this path. take a look at the makefile or configure scripts for answers or if you knw the path to the tk libraries perhaps there is a configure option you can use to configure the path to them.

Re: tk installed, but cannot build tk-app

here the config-part from Makefile --- there is no configure

# System type
OS=UNIX
#OS=WINDOWS

# location of Tcl and Tk libraries
LIBTCLDIR = -L /usr/lib

# location of x library
LIBXDIR = -L /usr/X11/lib

# you might need to change "libtcl" and "libtk" to "libtcl8.x" and "libtk8.x"
LIBS = $(LIBXDIR) $(LIBTCLDIR) -ltk -ltcl -lX11 -lm -ldl

INSTALL = install
RM = rm -f

CC = cc
DEFINES = -D$(OS) -DLIBDIR="$(LIBDIR)"
CFLAGS = -O2 $(DEFINES)
#CFLAGS = -O2 -Wall -pedantic -ansi $(DEFINES)
LFLAGS = $(LIBS)  -s

Re: tk installed, but cannot build tk-app

do a "locate libtk" and "locate libtcl"

make sure the

LIBTCLDIR

is pointing to the right place, and make sure that the

LIBS (...) -ltk -ltcl

is right. basically the -lLIBNAME should match your "libtk" that you find on your system, minus the lib prefix.

Re: tk installed, but cannot build tk-app

Well, have a closer look at the Makefile, it's explained in it

# you might need to change "libtcl" and "libtk" to "libtcl8.x" and "libtk8.x" 

Indeed:

[orelien@pikachu orelien]$ pacman -Ql tk tcl | grep '.so$'
tk /usr/lib/libtk8.4.so
tcl /usr/lib/libtcl8.4.so

You have to put "-ltk8.4 -ltcl8.4" in LIBS instead of "-ltk -ltcl".
