[GRASS-dev] WinGRASS & Tcl/Tk

Tcl is the programming language, Tk provides the graphical user
interface on top of that. So you need both:

Compile and install Tcl (using MSYS):

tar -xzvf tcl8.5.1-src.tar.gz
cd tcl8.5.1/win
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install

cp /usr/local/bin/tclsh85.exe /usr/local/bin/tclsh.exe

Install the Tk GUI widgets:

tar -xzvf tk8.5.1-src.tar.gz
cd tk8.5.1/win
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install

cp /usr/local/bin/wish84.exe /usr/local/bin/wish.exe

Hope this helps.

Good luck,

Benjamin

Hi,

I'm again on Tcl/Tk issue for Windows;
Paul Kelly tells that he tested latest 8.5 release finding it working,
so I'm going to compile that release!
But here's another question, I never faced the problem of compile Tcl
(always used precompiled binaries), and on the web site I found two
sources, Tcl and Tk; what to do? Compile both? same or different prefix?

Thanks

Marco
