Why not try dong it your self, like I said the thread before.

As a starting point, download the source tarball, uncompress it and check whether it uses autotools, cmake, meson or something else as a build system.

I asked for your help because I don't know how to compile a file whose source code is not even 5MB.

I don't want you to provide me with a ready-compiled version, I want to compile it myself.

Hi Juanito

... check whether it uses autotools, cmake, meson or something else as a build system.

Nothing like that. Just a simple Makefile complete with
comments and explanations:

So simple a child could do it. Unless that child is too lazy and spoiled to even try.

Can't say it better myself.

History: First ask if someone can do it, and no body answer.
And then bump the thread, to get attension.
Then I suggest to the user to try compile it, and get help from this forum.
And now remove the prev thread and create i new one with the same question.

Sorry for being little helpless/help willing(if that is the correct word, don't know)

thanks.

I found the missing command.

tce-load -wil compiletc Xorg-7.7-dev

I tackled this a while back on TCL-11.1. I started by installing the essential dependencies like gcc and make. The README had some hints on required libraries, so make sure to double-check those. I had the best luck compiling on a clean TCL setup. If you hit a snag, sometimes reinstalling the dependencies or updating them helps. Hope this helps you get it running!
