Where to go for support --------------------------- - -- The tcl-mac mailing list on sourceforge is the best place to ask questions -specific to Tcl & Tk on Mac OS X: - http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tcl-mac -(this page also has a link to searchable archives of the list, please check them -before asking on the list, many questions have already been answered). - -- For general Tcl/Tk questions, the newsgroup comp.lang.tcl is your best bet: - http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.tcl/ - -- The Tcl'ers Wiki also has many pages dealing with Tcl & Tk on Mac OS X, see - http://wiki.tcl.tk/references/3753! - http://wiki.tcl.tk/references/8361! - -- Please report bugs with Tcl or Tk on Mac OS X to the sourceforge bug trackers: - Tcl: http://sf.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=10894&atid=110894 - Tk: http://sf.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=12997&atid=112997 -please make sure that your report Tk specific bugs to the tktoolkit project bug -tracker rather than the tcl project bug tracker. -Mac OS X specific bugs should usually be assigned to 'das' or 'wolfsuit'. - - -2. Using Tcl/Tk on Mac OS X ---------------------------- - -- There are two versions of Tk available on Mac OS X: TkAqua using the native -aqua widgets and look&feel, and TkX11 using the traditional unix X11 wigets. -TkX11 requires an X11 server to be installed, such as Apple's X11 (which is -available as an optional install on recent Mac OS X retail disks). -TkAqua and TkX11 can be distinguished at runtime via [tk windowingsystem]. - -- At a minimum, Mac OS X 10.1 is required to run Tcl and TkX11, and OS X 10.2 is -required to run TkAqua. However OS X 10.3 or higher is recommended (certain -[file] operations behave incorrectly on earlier releases). - -- Unless weak-linking is used, Tcl/Tk built on Mac OS X 10.x will not run on -10.y with y < x; on the other hand Tcl/Tk built on 10.y will always run on 10.x -with y <= x (but without any of the fixes and optimizations that would be -available in a binary built on 10.x). -Weak-linking is available on OS X 10.2 or later, it additionally allows Tcl/Tk -built on 10.x to run on any 10.y with x > y >= z (for a chosen z >= 2). - -- Wish checks the Resources/Scripts directory in its application bundle for a -file called AppMain.tcl, if found it is used as the startup script and the -Scripts folder is added to the auto_path. This can be used to emulate the old -OS9 TclTk droplets. - -- If standard input is a special file of zero length (e.g. /dev/null), Wish -brings up the Tk console window at startup. This is the case when double -clicking Wish in the Finder (or using 'open Wish.app' from the Terminal). - -- Tcl extensions can be installed in any of: - $HOME/Library/Tcl /Library/Tcl /Network/Library/Tcl /System/Library/Tcl - $HOME/Library/Frameworks /Library/Frameworks /Network/Library/Frameworks - /System/Library/Frameworks (searched in that order). -Given a potential package directory $pkg, Tcl on OSX checks for the file -$pkg/Resources/Scripts/pkgIndex.tcl as well as the usual $pkg/pkgIndex.tcl. -This allows building extensions as frameworks with all script files contained in -the Resources/Scripts directory of the framework. - -- [load]able binary extensions can linked as either ordinary shared libraries -(.dylib) or as MachO bundles (since 8.4.10/8.5a3); only bundles can be unloaded, -and bundles are also loaded more efficiently from VFS (no temporary copy to the -native filesystem required). - -- The 'deploy' target of carbon/GNUmakefile installs the html manpages into the -standard documentation location in the Tcl/Tk frameworks: - Tcl.framework/Resources/Documentation/Reference/Tcl - Tk.framework/Resources/Documentation/Reference/Tk -No nroff manpages are installed by default by the GNUmakefiles. - -- The Tcl and Tk frameworks can be installed in any of the system's standard -framework directories: - $HOME/Library/Frameworks /Library/Frameworks - /Network/Library/Frameworks /System/Library/Frameworks - -- /usr/bin/wish8.x is a script that calls a copy of 'Wish' contained in - Tk.framework/Resources - -- if 'Wish' is started from the Finder or via 'open', $argv contains a -"-psn_XXXX" argument. This is the Wish's carbon process serial number, you may -need to filter it out for cross platform compatibility of your scripts. - -- the env array is different when Wish is started from the Finder (i.e. via -LaunchServices) than when it (or tclsh) is invoked from the Terminal, in -particular PATH may not be what you expect. (Wish started by LaunchServices -inherits loginwindow's environment variables, which are essentially those set in -$HOME/.MacOSX/environment.plist, and are unrelated to those set in your shell). - -- As of Tk 8.4.7, TkAqua has a version of the low-level drawing primitives using -the CoreGraphics routines - the code is primarily due to James Tittle. There -were numerous problems with the QD version, mostly due to the different drawing -model of QD & Tk. CG also trivially supports dashed lines, and the various end -caps & miters. The old QD code is retained for now, just in case there are any -compatibility problems. To switch back to the QD drawing, put - set tk::mac::useCGDrawing 0 -in your script before you do drawing. -All CG drawing is antialiased by default, but (outline) linewidth can be used to -control whether a line/shape is drawn antialiased. The antialiasing threshold is -0 by default (i.e. antialias everything), it can be changed by setting - set tk::mac::CGAntialiasLimit <limit> -in your script before drawing, in which case lines (or shapes with outlines) -thinner than <limit> pixels will not be antialiased. - -- ATSUI text antialiasing by default uses the standard OS antialising settings. -Setting the global variable '::tk::mac::antialiasedtext' allows to control text -antialiasing from Tcl: a value of 1 enables AA, 0 disables AA and -1 restores -the default behaviour of respecting the OS settings. - -- Scrollbars: There are two scrollbar variants in Aqua, normal & small. The -normal scrollbar has a small dimension of 15, the small variant 11. Access to -the small variant was added in Tk 8.4.2. - -- Cursors: You can now put up and spin the Classic MacOS spinner, and the -counting hands and watch cursor. The way this is done is each of the spinners -have a base name: - spinning: The circular B&W circular spinner - countinguphand: The counting up hand - countingdownhand: The counting down hand - countingupanddownhand: The counting up then down hand - watch: The watch cursor -Then to get the sequential variants, add an integer to the end of the base name. -So, for instance this code will spin the spinner: - proc spinCursor {widget count} { - $widget configure -cursor spinning$count - after 100 spinCursor [incr count] - } -This was added in Tk 8.4.2 - -- If you want to use Remote Debugging with Xcode 1.5 or 2.2, you need to set the -environment variable XCNOSTDIN to 1 in the Executable editor for Wish. That will -cause us to force closing stdin & stdout. Otherwise, given how Xcode launches -Wish remotely, they will be left open and then Wish & gdb will fight for stdin. - - -3. Building Tcl/Tk on Mac OS X ------------------------------- - -- At least Mac OS X 10.1 is required to build Tcl and TkX11 and OS X 10.2 is -required to build TkAqua. Apple's Developer Tools need to be installed (only the -most recent version matching your OS release is supported). The Developer Tools -installer is available on Mac OS X retail disks or is present in -/Applications/Installers on Macs that came with OS X preinstalled. The most -recent version can be downloaded from the ADC website http://connect.apple.com -(after you register for free ADC membership). - -- Tcl/Tk are most easily built as Mac OS X frameworks via GNUmakefile in -tcl/macosx and tk/carbon (see below for details), but can also be built with the -standard unix configure and make buildsystem in tcl/unix resp. tk/unix as on any -other unix platform (indeed, the GNUmakefiles are just wrappers around the unix -buildsystem). -The Mac OS X specific configure flags are --enable-aqua, --enable-framework and ---disable-corefoundation (which disables CF and notably reverts to the standard -select based notifier). Note that --enable-aqua is incompatible with ---disable-corefoundation (for both Tcl and Tk configure). - -- It is also possible to build with Apple's IDE via the projects in tk/carbon, -take care to only use the project matching your DevTools and OS version: - * Wish.xcode for Xcode 2.4 on 10.4 and Xcode 2.5 on 10.4 and later, this has - a 'Tk' target that simply calls through to the tcl/macosx/GNUMakefile. - It requires a build of the 'Tcl' target of tcl/macosx/Tcl.xcode. - Additionally this has native 'tktest' and 'tktest-X11' targets for - debugging, these targets' 'Debug' build configuration has ZeroLink and - Fix&Continue enabled, use the 'DebugNoFixZL' build configuration if you - need a debug build without these features. The following build - configurations are available: - 'DebugUnthreaded': debug build with threading turned off. - 'DebugNoCF': debug build with corefoundation turned off - (for 'tktest-X11' only). - 'DebugNoCFUnthreaded': debug build with corefoundation turned off - (for 'tktest-X11' only) and with threading turned off. - 'DebugMemCompile': debug build with memory and bytecode debugging on. - 'DebugLeaks': debug build with PURIFY defined. - 'DebugGCov': debug build with generation of gcov data files enabled. - 'ReleaseUniversal': builds the targets as universal binaries for the - ppc and i386 architectures. - 'ReleaseUniversal10.4uSDK': same as 'ReleaseUniversal' but builds - against the 10.4u SDK, required to build universal binaries on - PowerPC Tiger (where the system libraries are not universal). - 'ReleasePPC10.3.9SDK': builds for PowerPC against the 10.3.9 SDK, useful - for verifying on Tiger that building on Panther would succeed. - 'ReleasePPC10.2.8SDK': builds for PowerPC with gcc-3.3 against the - 10.2.8 SDK, useful to verify on Tiger that building on Jaguar - would succeed. - * Wish.xcodeproj for Xcode 3.1 on 10.5 and later, which has the following - additional build configurations: - 'ReleaseUniversal10.5SDK': same as 'ReleaseUniversal' but builds - against the 10.5 SDK on Leopard (with 10.5 deployment target). - 'Debug gcc42': same as 'Debug' but builds with gcc 4.2. - 'Debug llvmgcc42': same as 'Debug' but builds with llvm-gcc 4.2. - 'ReleaseUniversal gcc42': same as 'ReleaseUniversal' but builds with - gcc 4.2. - 'ReleaseUniversal llvmgcc42': same as 'ReleaseUniversal' but builds - with llvm-gcc 4.2. - 'Debug64bit': builds the 'tktest-X11' target as 64bit with debugging - enabled (requires a 64bit capable processor). - Note that all non-SDK configurations have 10.5 deployment target and - that all Universal configurations build the 'tktest-X11' target - also for the ppc64 and x86_64 architectures. - -Notes about the native targets of the Xcode projects: - * the Xcode projects refer to the toplevel tcl and tk source dirs through - the TCL_SRCROOT and TK_SRCROOT user build settings, by default these are - set to the project-relative paths '../../tcl' and '../../tk', if your - source directories are named differently, e.g. '../../tcl8.5', you'll - need to manually change the TCL_SRCROOT and TK_SRCROOT settings by - editing your ${USER}.pbxuser file (located inside the Wish.xcodeproj - bundle directory) with a text editor. - * the native targets need a version of the unix configure scripts with config - headers enabled, this is automatically generated as tcl/macosx/configure - and tk/carbon/configure by the project but that requires 2.59 versions - of autoconf & autoheader. These are not available on Mac OS X 10.5 by - default and need to be installed manually. By default they are assumed - to be installed as /usr/local/bin/autoconf-2.59 and - /usr/local/bin/autoheader-2.59, set the AUTOCONF and AUTOHEADER build - settings in ${USER}.pbxuser to their true locations if necessary. - -- To build universal binaries outside of Wish.xcodeproj, set CFLAGS as follows: - export CFLAGS="-arch ppc -arch i386 \ - -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.4" -This requires Mac OS X 10.4 and Xcode 2.2 (_not_ Xcode 2.1) and will work on any -of the architectures (the -isysroot flag is only required on PowerPC Tiger). -Note that configure requires CFLAGS to contain a least one architecture that can -be run on the build machine (i.e. ppc on PowerPC, ppc or i386 on Intel). -Universal builds of Tk TEA extensions are also possible with CFLAGS set as -above, they will be [load]able by universal as well as thin binaries of Tk. -Note that while Tcl can be built for 64-bit architectures, neither TkAqua nor -TkX11 can be built for 64-bit as the corresponding GUI libraries are not -available for 64bit at present. However, linking a universal 'ppc i386' Tk -binary against a universal 'ppc ppc64 i386 x86_64' Tcl binary works just fine. -The Tk configure script automatically removes the 64-bit -arch flags from CFLAGS -to facilitate universal building of both Tcl and Tk with the same CFLAGS; the -same happens with configure in Tk extensions based on TEA 3.5 or later. - -- To enable weak-linking, set the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET environment variable -to the minimal OS version (>= 10.2) the binaries should be able to run on, e.g: - export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.2 -This requires Mac OS X 10.2 and gcc 3.1; if you have gcc 4 or later you can set -CFLAGS instead: - export CFLAGS="-mmacosx-version-min=10.2" -The Wish.xcode project is setup to produce binaries that can run on 10.2 or -later (except for the Universal and SDK configurations). -Support for weak-linking was added to the code for 8.4.14/8.5a5. - -Detailed Instructions for building with carbon/GNUmakefile ----------------------------------------------------------- - -- Unpack the Tcl and Tk source release archives and place the tcl and tk source -trees in a common parent directory. -[ If you don't want have the two source trees in one directory, you'll need to ] -[ create the following symbolic link for the build to work as setup by default ] -[ ln -fs /path_to_tcl/build /path_to_tk/build ] -[ (where /path_to_{tcl,tk} is the directory containing the tcl resp. tk tree) ] -[ or you can pass an argument of BUILD_DIR=/somewhere to the tcl and tk make. ] - -- The following instructions assume the Tcl and Tk source trees are named -"tcl${ver}" and "tk${ver}", respectively, where ${ver} is a shell variable -containing the Tcl and Tk version number (for example '8.4.12'). -Setup the shell variable as follows: - set ver="8.4.12" ;: if your shell is csh - ver="8.4.12" ;: if your shell is sh -The source trees will be named this way only if you are building from a release -archive, if you are building from CVS, the version numbers will be missing; so -set ${ver} to the empty string instead: - set ver="" ;: if your shell is csh - ver="" ;: if your shell is sh - -- The following steps will build Tcl and Tk from the Terminal, assuming you are -located in the directory containing the tcl and tk source trees: - make -C tcl${ver}/macosx - make -C tk${ver}/carbon -and the following will then install Tcl and Tk onto the root volume (admin -password required): - sudo make -C tcl${ver}/macosx install - sudo make -C tk${ver}/carbon install -if you don't have the admin password, you can install into your home directory, -instead by passing an INSTALL_ROOT argument to make: - make -C tcl${ver}/macosx install INSTALL_ROOT="${HOME}/" - make -C tk${ver}/carbon install INSTALL_ROOT="${HOME}/" - -- The default GNUmakefile targets will build _both_ debug and optimized versions -of the Tcl and Tk frameworks with the standard convention of naming the debug -library Tcl.framework/Tcl_debug resp. Tk.framework/Tk_debug. -This allows switching to the debug libraries at runtime by setting - export DYLD_IMAGE_SUFFIX=_debug -(c.f. man dyld for more details) - -If you only want to build and install the debug or optimized build, use the -'develop' or 'deploy' target variants of the GNUmakefiles, respectively. -For example, to build and install only the optimized versions: - make -C tcl${ver}/macosx deploy - make -C tk${ver}/carbon deploy - sudo make -C tcl${ver}/macosx install-deploy - sudo make -C tk${ver}/carbon install-deploy - -- The GNUmakefiles can also build a version of 'Wish' that has the Tcl and Tk -frameworks embedded in its application package. This allows for standalone -deployment of the application with no installation required, e.g. from read-only -media. To build & install in this manner, use the 'embedded' target variants of -the GNUmakefiles. For example, to build a standalone 'Wish.app' -in ./embedded/Applications/Utilities: - make -C tcl${ver}/macosx embedded - make -C tk${ver}/carbon embedded - sudo make -C tcl${ver}/macosx install-embedded INSTALL_ROOT=`pwd`/embedded/ - sudo make -C tk${ver}/carbon install-embedded INSTALL_ROOT=`pwd`/embedded/ -Notes: - * if you've already built standard TclTkAqua, building embedded does not - require any new compiling or linking, so you can skip the first two makes. - (making relinking unnecessary was added in 8.4.2) - * the embedded frameworks include only optimized builds and no documentation. - * the standalone Wish has the directory Wish.app/Contents/lib in its - auto_path. Thus you can place tcl extensions in this directory (i.e. embed - them in the app package) and load them with [package require]. - -- It is possible to build Tk against an installed Tcl.framework; but you will -still need a tcl sourcetree in the location specified in TCL_SRC_DIR in -Tcl.framework/tclConfig.sh. Also, linking with Tcl.framework has to work exactly -as indicated in TCL_LIB_SPEC in Tcl.framework/tclConfig.sh. -If you used non-default install locations for Tcl.framework, specify them as -make overrides to the tk/carbon GNUmakefile, e.g. - make -C tk${ver}/carbon \ - TCL_FRAMEWORK_DIR=$HOME/Library/Frameworks TCLSH_DIR=$HOME/usr/bin - sudo make -C tk${ver}/carbon install \ - TCL_FRAMEWORK_DIR=$HOME/Library/Frameworks TCLSH_DIR=$HOME/usr/bin -The Makefile variables TCL_FRAMEWORK_DIR and TCLSH_DIR were added in Tk 8.4.3. |
