Problems building libpgtcl

From

    I am trying to build postgres 6.4.1 with libpgtcl, in order to run
    pgaccess. The current problem is geting all the right options passed to
    configure, I believe. I am using:

    ./configure  --prefix=/data/pgtest --with-template=hpux_gcc
    --with-pgport=5434 - -with-tcl
    --with-includes=/opt/tcl-8.0/include
    --with-libraries=/opt/tcl-8.0//lib
    --with-include=/opt/tk-8.0/includes/X11
    --with-libraries=/opt/tk-8.0/X11/lib

    Please note the use of multiple --with-includes here. However it is not
    working. Here is the resultant compiler directive:

    gcc -I../../include -I../../backend   -I/opt/tcl-8.0/include   -Wall
    -Wmissing-prototypes  -I../../interfaces/libpgtcl    -c pgtclAppInit.c
    -o pgtclAppInit.o

    Obviously this is going to fail, since tk.h won't be found.

    Any sugestions?

No, it wouldn't ... configure's switch parsing is too dumb to cope with
more than one occurrence of each --with-XXX directive.  (If the above
is a verbatim transcript, then you misspelled --with-includes the second
time :-( ... but it wouldn't have worked anyway ...)

I think this will work:

     --with-includes='/opt/tcl-8.0/include /opt/tk-8.0/includes/X11'
     --with-libraries='/opt/tcl-8.0/lib /opt/tk-8.0/X11/lib'

At least, perusing the configure script's code makes it look like
something close to that should work for specifying multiple include or
library directories.  You might have to mess around with the quoting to
get it just right.

I think we oughta have an example of this in the INSTALL documentation...

Something like (one line !!)
CFLAGS='-I/opt/tcl-8.0/include -I/opt/tk-8.0/includes/X11'
LDFLAGS='-L/opt/tcl-8.0/lib -L/opt/tk-8.0/X11/lib'
./configure ......

should do the trick in any case.
