Tcl error while installing Wordnet

Question

While installing Wordnet, I'm getting the following error;

stubs.c:132:14: error: ‘Tcl_Interp’ has no member named ‘result’

I tried giving following;

#define USE_INTERP_RESULT 1

at the end of "config.c" file of the Wordnet. Then als its not working. Kindly help.

Mention the way you tried to install it and your system for better help. (Now with "add comment") — , Nov 07 '13 at 15:58
I found it much trouble to deal with Tcl/Tk, so rewrote the make to produce simple cmdline window: https://github.com/AncientZygote/WNtight — Dalton Bentley, Apr 23 '20 at 22:18

The problem is that you try to compile Wordnet with Tcl 8.6.

Tcl 8.5 deprecated interp->result and Tcl 8.6 removed it.

The directive

#define USE_INTERP_RESULT

should solve that, but you should add that in an header file (.h) before you #include <tcl.h>, not in a .c file.

Thanks for your solution. I gave #define USE_INTERP_RESULT 1 1. In tk.h file in the tk installation directory before tcl.h inclusion 2.In tk.h of the Wordnet include directory before tcl.h inclusion. Then also i'm facing the same error – monisha Nov 09 '13 at 05:43

I am ble to resolve the error. I gave #define USE_INTERP_RESULT 1 in the stubs.c of WordNet3.0/src – monisha Nov 09 '13 at 06:18

In the stubs.c file (which will be found in the WordNet-3.0/srcdirectory include the following directive

#define USE_INTERP_RESULT 1

before the #include <tcl.h>

and the do the make
