[Pkg-netsim-devel] Bug#725015: nam: FTBFS after upgrade of Tcl/Tk to 8.6

[Sergei Golovan]

Package: nam
Version: 1.15-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

We plan to upgrade the default Tcl/Tk packages to 8.6 which will cause FTBFS
for the nam package. The problem is that nam uses deprecated interp->result
which is hidden in 8.6 (see [1] for build log). The proper fix would be to
rewrite the corresponding parts (see Tcl_Interp(3tcl) manpage for details)
and this looks more like a task for upstream. Though if upstream is not active
we can define USE_INTERP_RESULT macro and build will succeed.

I've attached a patch which does that.
