The OpenBSD port of the Tcl dynamic language was designed to balance
deriving the maximum value from the original software while keeping any
modifications to a minimum. This document describes these differences and
includes a handy guide and patch for adding Tcl and Tk to /etc/man.conf.
The principal change is to the locations of installed files. In order to
be able to install multiple versions of Tcl on OpenBSD without conflict,
some deviation from the original installation has been performed.
Tclsh / Wish
Tclsh and wish are installed as tclsh8.5 and wish8.5, respectively.
Many Tcl programs expect to find tclsh or wish.
They will have to be modified to launch the correct shell or links
tclsh and wish may be created which point to tclsh8.5 and wish8.5,
respectively. These links may have already been created by the
system administrator. It is of course also possible to create one's
own links.

Additional Header Files
Additional ('private') header files are installed
in ${TRUEPREFIX}/include/tcl8.5 and ${TRUEPREFIX}/include/tk8.5.
Libraries
On architectures that support shared libraries, additional static
libraries (libtcl85.a, libtk85.a) are built from the -fPIC compiled
object (.o) files. A soft link from any lib.a is created to lib_pic.a
in order to satisfy libtool.
Manual Page Configuration
Changes to /etc/man.conf are required so that OpenBSD's man(1) and
related commands can find the Tcl and Tk manual pages.
Additional _whatdb entries are needed which point to the Tcl and Tk
whatis.db files. The Tcl and Tk manual page directories need to be added
to the _default and n sections. Additional sections tcl and tk point to
the Tcl and Tk manual page directories.
Following this text is a patch (with instructions) that will perform
the aforementioned changes on an unmodified /etc/man.conf. If not
used directly it can serve as a guide.
