[Pkg-tcltk-devel] Bug#695445: tk8.4: Please apply patch to support cross-compiling

[Adam Conrad]

Package: tk8.4
Version: 8.4.19-5
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: crossbuild at debian.org
Usertags: origin-ubuntu raring ubuntu-patch cross

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * Respect DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE when selecting CC for cross-compiling.
  * Preseed undetectable strtod values to autoconf for cross-builds.

This preseeds some values that autoconf can't sort out on its own
when cross-compiling, thus fixing cross builds.  Additionally,
unlike tk8.5, tk8.4 has a broken configure script that doesn't
respect --host and --build, so this also forces CC on cross-builds.
