  • Error building tk9.0.1: No rule to make target 'minizip'

    From Uwe Schmitz@schmitzu@mail.de to comp.lang.tcl on Wed Feb 12 16:07:18 2025

    I get the following error when trying to build tk9.0.1
    under Debian 11:

    make: *** No rule to make target 'minizip', needed by 'libtk9.0.1.zip'. Stop.

    During configure the log says:

    ...
    checking for macher... checking for zip... No zip found on PATH. Building minizip
    ...

    I'm building with --prefix and there is no zip installed on this system.
    So configure concluded it has to build its own (mini)zip,
    but... there doesn't seem to be a minizip in tk.
    In the tcl9.0.1 tarball, on the other hand, a compat/minizip is available
    (and build).

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance
    Uwe

    Sorry, this is a known issue and the current workaround is to install zip.
