Subject: TkPerl install on SCO ODT 3.0 (my hacks)

To compile Tk-b6 on SCO ODT 3.0 using perl-5.001m:

I Had to comment out this line in the myConfig file used by MakeMaker.

#$define .= " -DHAVE_SYS_SELECT_H" if ($Config{'i_sysselct'});

sys/select.h in SCO has a time definition that conflicts with sys/time.h

Also needed to change all the GNUmakefile files to change
-include $(wildcard *.d)
to
include $(wildcard *.d)

Our GNU make 3.67 blows up on those lines.  Since its over two years old, I
guess we're a little overdue for an upgrade there.  Downloading and
upgrading make soon, I'll post an update if that noticably improves things.

With those revisions in place I can build a statically linked tkperl (SCO
doesn't seem inclined to build a dynamic perl no matter how hard I hack at
it).  Runs all the demos quite nicely.  Now I'm off to learn tkperl
programming from the UserGuide.

I can make a diff patch if anyone's that keen on the results.
