Please advise how we can build expect with tcl 8.6. Thanks.
Are you linking with the stubs library libtclstub86.a?
From Tcl 8.6 release notes:
Issues for users of the public C API:
* C code compiled with USE_TCL_STUBS now must be linked against a
stub library. The Tcl shared library no longer exports variables
used in the stub interface. Analogous changes also made to Tk.
Thank you, adding "-ltclstub8.6" to LDFLAGS worked.
