Expect

Name: Expect

License: Public Domain
Version: 5.45.4
URL: https://sourceforge.net/projects/expect/files/Expect/5.45.4/expect5.45.4.tar.gz/download

Average Build Time: 0.2 SBU
Used Install Space: 3.9 MiB

NOTE: Expect requires a fully functioning TTY layer inside the chroot environment. Verify this before proceeding with the build

Preparation

Expect requires a patch to build correctly with GCC 15 and above:

patch -Np1 -i ../expect-5.45.4-gcc15-1.patch

Configuration

To configure Expect for install into the build root, run the following command:

./configure --prefix=/usr             \
            --libdir=/usr/lib64       \
            --libexecdir=/usr/lib64   \
            --with-tcl=/usr/lib64/tcl \
            --enable-shared           \
            --disable-rpath           \
            --mandir=/usr/share/man   \
            --with-tclinclude=/usr/include

Compilation and Installation

To compile Expect, run the following command:

make

Next, run the test suite:

make test

Finally, to install Expect into the build tree, run the following commands:

make DESTDIR=$PWD/DESTDIR install
pushd DESTDIR
    mkdir -pv usr/lib64/tcl
    mv usr/lib64/expect* usr/lib64/tcl/
    cp -Rv usr/bin/* /usr/bin/
    cp -Rv usr/include/* /usr/include/
    cp -Rv usr/lib64/tcl/* /usr/lib64/tcl/
    cp -Rv usr/share/man/man1/* /usr/share/man/man1/
    cp -Rv usr/share/man/man3/* /usr/share/man/man3/
popd
ln -svf tcl/expect5.45.4/libexpect5.45.4.so /usr/lib64
