# cd Thread/unix
# ../configure --enable-threads --with-tclinclude=/usr/opt/tcl/include

checking for correct TEA configuration... ok (TEA 3.9)
configure: configuring thread 2.7.3
configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in tclconfig
../tclconfig

Well, in Thread there is no tclconfig directory.

Is this a bug?

Thanks for any hint

Well, tclconfig seems to be in the tar.gz distribution, but not
in the files I get from fossil repo. Why?

Thanks. That works.

Interesting is: "Copy them into that directory". Yes, one cannot just
open a fossil repo inside of an opened fossil repo. Sure there are
good reasons for it.

What are you quoting? That phrase does not appear in the linked page.

The --nested option allows exactly that, as demonstrated.

Indeed. I opened the page, but saw one about tclconfig that I googled
in the meantime before. Strange.

Wonderfull! I did not know --nested and had the problem before.
