Mac Forum / Programming / Perl / May 2006Tk Aqua with Perl
Hi guys. TclTk Aqua is shipped with Mac OSX Tiger. Is it somehow possible to use it with Perl? The Perl/Tk bindings are only for X11, right? Regards, Manfred > TclTk Aqua is shipped with Mac OSX Tiger. > > Is it somehow possible to use it with Perl? You should be able to do this with the Tcl::Tk module: http://search.cpan.org/~vkon/Tcl-Tk/ The Tkx module provides a nice interface on top of Tcl::Tk: http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/Tkx/ I have not tried this on OS X though, so it is possible that the modules don't work out of the box there. > The Perl/Tk bindings are only for X11, right? Yes.

I haven't checked lately, but it used to be that Perl/Tk wouldn't compile on OS X unless you configured your perl a certain way. This may have changed since I last looked, but be sure to look over the docs if you hit any problems, as that might be it. dha  SignatureDavid H.

Tcl::Tk and Tkx don't use the Perl/Tk module; they call the Tcl/Tk code directly. That way you get access to the latest widgets supported by Tcl/Tk. Of course you need a working Tcl installation in addition to just Perl. We use this at ActiveState to create natively themed cross platform Perl applications for Windows, Linux, Solaris and HP-UX. I have heard from other people at ActiveState that they got this to work on OS X too, but I don't remember if they had to do anything special.

I tried Tkx which needs the Tcl module and this module needs to init tcl and I get an error that the file init.tcl is missing on my standard Tiger installation. I know, this a bit offtopic but does anyone know how I can expand the TCL include path? The file init.tcl is here: /System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.4/Resources/ Scripts/init.tcl Well, I could symlink the file to where tclinit looks for... ----------------------- Failed to initialize Tcl with Tcl_Init: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories: @TCL_IN_FRAMEWORK@ /usr/lib/tcl8.4 /lib/tcl8.4 /usr/library / library /tcl8.4.7/library @TCL_IN_FRAMEWORK@ This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly. while executing "error $msg" (procedure "tclInit" line 42) invoked from within "tclInit" at /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/ DynaLoader.pm line 253.

The Perl Tcl error can be fixed by setting the env var: TCL_LIBRARY=/System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/Current/ Resources/Scripts Best regards, Manfred Am 16.05.2006 um 07:11 schrieb David H.

Perl/Tk works and compiles fine on OSX. Had no problems so far. Regards, Manfred >> TclTk Aqua is shipped with Mac OSX Tiger. >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > http://search.cpan.org/~vkon/Tcl-Tk/ I get a whole lot of errors when I try to install Tcl::Tk. I am using AS Perl and AS Tcl. === ERROR === Tcl config file '/usr/local/lib/tclConfig.sh' not found Running make test Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test Running make install Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install ============= Should I try the Tkx one?

Tkx works for me. Maybe you should try it. It also has a better documentation. At least I didn't find one for Tcl::Tk. Manfred > >> TclTk Aqua is shipped with Mac OSX Tiger. > >> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install > ============= You need to specify the location of the Tcl installation you want to use, e.g. perl Makefile.PL - --tclconfig=/System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/tclConfig.sh I don't have my Mac here, but I think the ActiveTcl location would be in /usr/local/ActiveTcl/lib/tclConfig.sh. > Should I try the Tkx one? Tkx builds on top of Tcl and Tcl::Tk, so you need to get those working first.
