Is the build process complicated? Maybe call this gorilla-bin?

@7c6f434c, I followed your advice and postfixed the package name to gorilla-bin.

Also: yes, I consider the build process rather complex for nix (e.g., binary shared objects in the source tree for common platforms..).

If I interpret the CI build logs correctly, gtk requires a rebuild from source currently, which causes log files that exceed the 4mb limit. The other tests passed, so I suppose everything is working.

Wait, wait, precompiled shared objects in the source tree do not sound like a source build… Is there a way to actually build it from actual source?

@7c6f434c, it is possible. They just bundle dependencies at specific versions as binaries for convenience. Also, the documentation points out that while it is possible to use a system-wide installed version of these dependencies, "the exact details of how to do so are beyond the scope of [the documentation] and are left up to those with sufficient knowledge of the Tcl package system."
Even more warning: "installing all packages globally is untested, and as such your
mileage may vary if you do attempt to do such an install."
In summary, I suppose it's easiest/safest to stick with the gorilla-bin package for now.
