Re: [PORTS] include path for tcl.h

Well, the FreeBSD port does it this way (in the ports Makefile):

.if defined(USE_TCL)
TCL_INCDIR=    ${LOCALBASE}/include/tcl8.0
TK_INCDIR=    ${LOCALBASE}/include/tk8.0
MAKE_ENV=    USE_TCL=true TCL_INCDIR=${TCL_INCDIR}
WITH_TCL=    --with-tcl --with-tclconfig="${LOCALBASE}/lib/tcl8.0 \
                                             ${LOCALBASE}/lib/tk8.0"
.endif

...


CONFIGURE_ARGS= --prefix=${PREFIX}/pgsql \
        --enable-locale \
        --with-template=`uname -s | ${TR} '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'` \
        --with-includes="${PREFIX}/include ${TCL_INCDIR} \
                                 ${TK_INCDIR}" ${WITH_TCL} \
        --with-libraries=${PREFIX}/lib


which ends up to

$ ./configure ... --with-includes="/usr/local/include \
                                 /usr/local/include/tcl8.0 \
                                 /usr/local/include/tk8.0" \
                --with-tcl --with-tclconfig="/usr/local/lib/tcl8.0 \
                                             /usr/local/lib/tk8.0"

$ USE_TCL=true TCL_INCDIR=/usr/local/include/tc8.0 gmake


Hope this helps. Check the complete FreeBSD port at
