[Swarm-Support] Re: Can't find BLT for building SWARM

[Paul E Johnson]

Dear Peter:

I dumped the SRPM file for blt from the RedHat distribution here:

http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/Swarm-2.2x_RPMSforRH8.0/

And I extracted the source code and the patches that RedHat used into 
this directory.

http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/Swarm-2.2x_RPMSforRH8.0/bltsrc/

The last time I built blt by hand, it was tedius because I had to get 
the tcl/tk source, dump blt's directory in there, hack a bunch of 
makefiles, etc. For a while we were using the "blt-unofficial-8" package 
that did not require that, but I'm not sure about the current distro. 
From an examination of the commands in the spec file (which shows the 
build commands) it appears to me it must have gotten easier:
