Installing Expect-5.39.0

Installation of Expect

First apply a patch:

patch -Np1 -i ../expect-5.39.0.patch

This fixes a bug in Expect that can result in bogus failures during the GCC test suite run.

Now prepare Expect to be compiled:

./configure --prefix=/tools --with-tcl=/tools/lib --with-x=no

Build the package:

make

This package has a testsuite available which can perform a number of checks to ensure it built correctly. Should you choose to run it, the following command will do so:

make test

And install:

make install

You can now remove the source directories of both Tcl and Expect.
