# tcltk-depends(1)

calculates Tcl/Tk dependencies

## NAME

tcltk-depends - calculates Tcl/Tk dependencies

## SYNOPSIS

**tcltk-depends** \[*debhelper options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

tcltk-depends is a debhelper-like program which is responsible for generating the ${libtclXY:Depends}, ${libtkXY:Depends}, ${libtcl:Depends}, ${libtk:Depends}, ${tclXY:Depends}, ${tkXY:Depends}, ${tcl:Depends} and ${tk:Depends} substitution variables and adding them to substvars files.

If you use this program, your package must build-depend on tcl-dev or tk-dev. If you use ${tclXY:Depends} or ${tkXY:Depends} variables, your package must build-depend on tcl-dev (\>= 8.6.0+7) or tk-dev (\>= 8.6.0+7). If you use ${libtclXY:Depends}, ${libtkXY:Depends}, ${libtcl:Depends} or {libtk:Depends} variables, your package must build-depend on tcl-dev (\>= 8.6.0+9) or tk-dev (\>= 8.6.0+9).
