Eglide
$ ./configure
[…]
checking for Tcl library... not found
checking for Tcl header... not found
checking whether the Tcl system has changed... yes
configure: error:

  Tcl cannot be found on this system.

  Eggdrop requires Tcl and the Tcl development files to compile.
  If you already have Tcl installed on this system, make sure you
  also have the development files (common package names include
  'tcl-dev' and 'tcl-devel'). If I just wasn't looking
  in the right place for it, re-run ./configure using the
  --with-tcllib='/path/to/libtcl.so' and
  --with-tclinc='/path/to/tcl.h' options.

  See doc/COMPILE-GUIDE's 'Tcl Detection and Installation' section for more
  information.

Configure step

The headers file tcl.h is located at a fairly standard place, /usr/include/tcl8.6/tcl.h.

But the library libtcl8.6.so is in a queer location: /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libtcl8.6.so.

None are detected by eggdrop configure script. To compile an eggdrop, you so needs to specify paths manually.

See the transcript below for the syntax to use.

Build step
Compilation works fine, with some compiler warnings. Linking failed for two missing references:

  • garbage_collect_tclhash (required by main.c)
  • open_listen (required by tcldcc.c)

http://forum.egghelp.org/viewtopic.php?t=20009 pointed to http://eggwiki.org/Inline, which provides as solution to specify as a C89 standard to gcc compiler.

I prepared a fetch/extract/configure/build/install script tested on both Debian and FreeBSD:
