tcl.tk

Tk is a GUI toolkit associated with the Tcl programming language, but is used as a toolkit elsewhere.

I primarily used it with Ruby, which it comes with.

Ruby-Tk examples are included with the standard Ruby Windows distribution.

  • A WYSIWYG GUI-Builder for Tcl/Tk, with sibblings for generating code in Perl, Java, Python & Ruby. It features drag & drop widget creation and configuration of widgets through a GUI. It is written in pure Tcl/Tk, so it runs on Unix, Mac and Windows.

For PCLinuxOS users, it is available as a synaptic package.

PCLinuxOS 2007-test3 has apt-get install ruby-tk but that doesn't seem to work:

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/tkextlib/pkg_checker.rb

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1102:in `initialize': Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories:  (RuntimeError)
    /usr/lib/tcl8.4 /usr/lib/tcl8.4 /lib/tcl8.4 /usr/library /library /tcl8.4.13/library /usr/lib/tcl8.4


This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1102:in `new'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/tk.rb:1102
        from ./pkg_checker.rb:7:in `require'
        from ./pkg_checker.rb:7

So I downloaded ActiveState's ActiveTcl and installed it.

Then I did:

ln -s /opt/ActiveTcl-8.4/lib/tcl8.4/ /usr/lib/

and now pkg_checker.rb gives me lots of stuff..

Now I want to install tile.

./configure

checking for correct TEA configuration... ok (TEA 3.5)
checking for Tcl configuration... configure: WARNING: Can't find Tcl configuration definitions
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

umm..

./configure --with-tcl=/opt/ActiveTcl-8.4/lib/

checking for correct TEA configuration... ok (TEA 3.5)
checking for Tcl configuration... found /opt/ActiveTcl-8.4/lib/tclConfig.sh

An improved themeing engine for Tk

gem install tile doesn't work. I'm not sure how to install it.

irb

require 'tk'
require 'tkextlib/tile'
Tk::Tile.__Import_Tile_Widgets__

Someday tile might get integrated
