For anyone who has had trouble running recent versions of Tcl/Tk on QNX 6
(as in you can’t even get the test suite off the ground), I have posted a
patch to tcl8.4.2/unix/configure.in on comp.lang.tcl that should improve
your airtime tremendously.

Just curious. Does it pass regression tests? Making it build was not that
hard, but back when I tried there was a boatload of failing regression
tests… Resolving that would be interesting. QNX has amusing capability to
build code and not run it properly, which is of course could be the
software’s fault in many cases. Sometimes you run into some genuine quirks
though.

It built fine even without the configure.in patch, but was really not
usable. In particular, the regression tests were unable even to start up.
Some tests still fail in both the Tcl and Tk suites.
