| Running ${PKGSTEM} on OpenBSD
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The OpenBSD port of the Tcl dynamic language was designed to balance
deriving the maximum value from the original software while keeping
any modifications to a minimum.

Install locations and file names differ from the default to enable
installing multiple versions of Tcl and Tk on OpenBSD without conflict.

Libraries
=========
On architectures that support shared libraries, additional static
libraries (libtcl85.a, libtk85.a) are built from the pic-compiled
object (.o) files.  A symbolic link from any lib.a to lib_pic.a
is created in order to satisfy libtool.

Manual Page Configuration
=========================
Adding the following lines to /etc/man.conf wil enable man(1)
and related commands can find the Tcl and Tk manual pages.

manpath ${TRUEPREFIX}/lib/tcl/tcl8.5/man
manpath ${TRUEPREFIX}/lib/tcl/tk8.5/man
