Not super familiar with Tcl but did you mean Tk instead of Ck?

I meant Ck, which is a curses-based widget set modeled after Tk. Basically you can use Tk-style code to create a TUI application. I am not fond of Ck, but i carried it over from the original DJGPP patch set that this build is based on.

By the way, i also put up a DJGPP build of sqlite 3.34.1.

Tcl 8.6.15 for DOS

I posted tcl86r8.zip, which includes the following changes:

* Remove erroneous instructions to build libtommath.
Tcl uses its own custom build of libtommath.
* Fix erroneous sqlite Makefile
* Update to sqlite version 3.38.5

p.s.

I am making progress on building tcl 9.0.0 with DJGPP. Note that the core team plans to make threads a hard requirement at some point. When that happens i will stop updating the DJGPP build.

Oh. That makes more sense. One of these days, I'd like to implement the `sas` (https://rmkit.dev/apps/sas) for non-eReaders. Probably X11, DOS/VGA, HTML/JS to start.

That's the same reason that ffmpeg cannot go beyond v5.x
beginning with v6.x threads are required
and I have been unable to find a current implementation of threads for DJGPP

I have those, tried 'em,
they do not work with the current implementation of threads in ffmpeg

That's disappointing to hear.
