[Pkg-tcltk-devel] Fw: Bug#712026: RFS: transcriber/1.5.1.1-7 [RC] -- Transcribe speech data using an integrated editor

[kardan]

Hi,

I for the below package tclex is needed.

$ echo "package require tcLex" |
tclsh can't find package tcLex
$ echo "package require tclex" |
tclsh can't find package tclex
$ dpkg -l|grep tclex
ii  tclex                                                       1.2a1-15

According to the README this is the way to require it. Please give me a
hint what i do wrong.

Hi,

I tested your package. Maybe this information is useful for further
optimization.

In README_UNIX i find the

The link does not work for me.

I did not try this out, but the hint for 'recent' Debian 2.x lets me
think, that this info is not update or hase at least not checked for
some time. Maybe it makes sense to check this and3 update the version.

There is no rule for make check

After compilation trans misses executable flag.

Error in startup script: couldn't read file
"./../lib/transcriber1.5/tcl/Main.tcl": no such file or directory

I remove the ../lib from TRANSPATH

Is 'bg=1' necessary to run the program?

configure misses a dependency check for tcLex

+ even after installation it can not be found


can't find package tcLex
    while executing
"package require tcLex"
    (file "../tcl/Xml.tcl" line 34)
    invoked from within
"source ../tcl/Xml.tcl"
    ("uplevel" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"uplevel \#0 [list source [file join $v(path,tcl) $module.tcl]]"
    (procedure "LoadModules" line 34)
    invoked from within
"LoadModules"
    (procedure "Main" line 10)
    invoked from within
"Main $argv"
    (file "../tcl/Main.tcl" line 1115)

Please keep me informed about further updates.

All the best,
kardan
