Re: Error building Tcl9 on minimalistic Debian

This issue is fixed in the upcoming Tcl 9.0.1 and Thread 3.0.1. You may build from the repository heads if you need it immediately.

Folks,
 I try to build Tcl9 from sources on a minmalistic Debian installation.
At least it has no zip installed. It seems that the build process
then uses minizip which is part of the release.
I saw that minizip is build and used succesfully at least once.
 But later on I get this error (german lang/localisation):

 It seems that the thread package uses minizip in the wrong place.
Can anyone confirm this or does anyone know how to patch?
(beside installing zip...)
 Many thanks in advance
