Re: [Swarm-Support] Error compiling Swarm on Debian

[Paul Johnson]

Before you go to the trouble of trying to specify tcl/tk dirs, you 
should consider doing it the way I do it in RedHat/Fedora.

First, don't build in the source tree itself

# cd swarm-2.1.150
# mkdir build
# cd build

# JAVAC=jikes CC=gcc ../configure --with-defaultdir=/usr --prefix=/usr 
--enable-onelib --enable-subdirs --with-jdkdir=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_04

If you have blt properly installed and you have worked around that 
problem about the renamed file* already, it should go.

*Around blt-2.4v, they renamed the file "bltGraph.tcl" to "graph.tcl". 
As a result, you must fool Swarm with

ln -sf /usr/lib/blt2.4/graph.tcl /usr/lib/blt2.4/bltGraph.tcl

good luck
