Bug #6066 for Tcl-Tk: require Img

Mon Apr 19 05:54:29 2004 SREZIC [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

require Img

(This is really for version 0.77, but RT does not show up the latest version) When running the "make test" suite, I gut failures in the photo-related tests. The failures seem to be due to can't find package Img at /usr/local/dist/cpan/build/Tcl-Tk-0.77/blib/lib/Tcl/Tk.pm line 672. which is correct, but I wonder if the requirement for the Img package could be made less strict, i.e. croak only if a image format handled only by Img is used. Also, I think "make test" should handle the non-existance of Img more gracefully. Regards, Slaven

this is quite reasonable to examine existing package and just skip actions that user's Tcl/Tk installation can not do. As one of solutions Gisle Aas proposed to create source distribution with eveything included. My own opinion is to create several distributions, thin one and huge one. In another words, this is known problem and for sure we'll resolve it when 1.00 will come out.
