Hi Markus,

I recently sent a patch similar to yours. Yes, this really solves the problem, but there seem to be two things to think about:

1) if tcl and tk can be upgraded independently (tcl recipe is in poky, tk is in meta-oe), this may cause failure if tcl is upgraded without upgrading tk. We are telling him to look at “-I${STAGING_INCDIR}/tcl${VER}” but when tcl is upgraded, if tk isn't upgraded to the same version, it will probably fail.

2) tk uses pkgconfig that's the way for tcl to tell tk where to find its headers. When I look at the compile logs, it really tells but there is a situation like this in include path:

-I.../recipe-sysroot/usr/include/sources/tcl9.0.1/generic

Somehow, the "sources" is added to the path from somewhere, and it must be /usr/include/tcl9.0.1/generic

I know that the "tcl.h" file is available in both ../recipe-sysroot/usr/include/tcl9.0/ and ../recipe-sysroot/usr/include/tcl9.0.1/generic/  but considering the path provided to the compiler as an include, we should use the generic one.

I have been sick for a while and haven't had much time to look at the situation with pkgconfig. I wanted to write to see if it might help you.
