[GRASS-dev] [bug #5161] v.digit: no toolbox if Grass 6.3 built with tcl/tk 8.3

[Maciej Sieczka]

Hi

I would lean towards Michael's attitude to drop 8.3 support and
reqquire 8.4. This will make things easier for devs, and will do no
harm for users. 8.4 is packaged as often as 8.3 is. As Michael says,
it's over 3 years old now and widely used.

Grass packaged by distros' maintainers will depend on 8.4. And the
configure script should yield an error if someone builds Grass from
source using 8.3.

Propably we will get occasional bug reports "I can't build with tcl/tk
8.3", but a pointer to requirements.html will do then.

It only has to be made clear and obvious - update the docs and build
procedure.

Thoughts?
