You can get Tcl and Tk + from http://dev.scriptics.com and Tix from http://tix.sourceforge.net. + +1) Build and install Tcl/Tk 8.2 or 8.3. Build and install Tix 8.1 or better. + Ensure that Tix is properly installed by running tixwish and executing + the demo programs. Under Unix, use the --enable-shared configure option + for all three. We recommend tcl8.2.3 for this release of PyTix. + +2) Modify Modules/Setup.dist and setup.py to change the version of the + tix library from tix4.1.8.0 to tix8.1.8.2 + These modified files can be used for Tkinter with or without Tix. + +3) The default is to build dynamically, and use the Tcl 'package require'. + To build statically, modify the Modules/Setup file to link in the Tix + library according to the comments in the file. On Linux this looks like: + +# *** Always uncomment this (leave the leading underscore in!): +_tkinter _tkinter.c tkappinit.c -DWITH_APPINIT \ +# *** Uncomment and edit to reflect where your Tcl/Tk libraries are: + -L/usr/local/lib \ +# *** Uncomment and edit to reflect where your Tcl/Tk headers are: + -I/usr/local/include \ +# *** Uncomment and edit to reflect where your X11 header files are: + -I/usr/X11R6/include \ +# *** Or uncomment this for Solaris: +# -I/usr/openwin/include \ +# *** Uncomment and edit for BLT extension only: +# -DWITH_BLT -I/usr/local/blt/blt8.0-unoff/include -lBLT8.0 \ +# *** Uncomment and edit for PIL (TkImaging) extension only: +# (See http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ for more info) +# -DWITH_PIL -I../Extensions/Imaging/libImaging tkImaging.c \ +# *** Uncomment and edit for TOGL extension only: +# -DWITH_TOGL togl.c \ +# *** Uncomment and edit for Tix extension only: + -DWITH_TIX -ltix8.1.8.2 \ +# *** Uncomment and edit to reflect your Tcl/Tk versions: + -ltk8.2 -ltcl8.2 \ +# *** Uncomment and edit to reflect where your X11 libraries are: + -L/usr/X11R6/lib \ +# *** Or uncomment this for Solaris: +# -L/usr/openwin/lib \ +# *** Uncomment these for TOGL extension only: +# -lGL -lGLU -lXext -lXmu \ +# *** Uncomment for AIX: +# -lld \ +# *** Always uncomment this; X11 libraries to link with: + -lX11 + +4) Rebuild Python and reinstall. + +You should now have a working Tix implementation in Python. To see if all +is as it should be, run the 'tixwidgets.py' script in the Demo/tix directory. +Under X windows, do + /usr/local/bin/python Demo/tix/tixwidgets.py + +If this does not work, you may need to tell python where to find +the Tcl, Tk and Tix library files. This is done by setting the +TCL_LIBRARY, TK_LIBRARY and TIX_LIBRARY environment variables. Try this: + + env TCL_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/tcl8.2 \ + TK_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/tk8.2 \ + TIX_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/tix8.1 \ + /usr/local/bin/python Demo/tix/tixwidgets.py + + +If you find any bugs or have suggestions for improvement, please report them +via http://tix.sourceforge.net + + |
