- Here is an a.out binary distribution of the SUN's SpecTcl version 0.1a, a
- Visual Basic style GUI builder for Tk/TCL. Note that this is very alpha,
- and although it is claimed that it will find new widgets, it really (I mean
- REALLY) had problems with the Tix4.0 widget kit. Other than that, it blows
- away XF2.3!
-
- Since the package requires a modified blt table widget, and since it proved
- to be non-trivial to build (the auto configure did'nt work, and there
- is no support for building shared libs on anything but SUN, and to build
- a static wish needed a modifed tkAppInit.c from Tk, but you have to figure
- that out yourself, and the Linux Tk4.0 binary dist did'nt have the correct
- headers and and and....) I decided to build this binary distribution.
- It is statically linked with the blt table widget, and dynamically linked
- with TCL7.4, Tk4.0 and everything else.
-
- To install this package, you need to install TCL7.4 and Tk4.0 from the a.out
- binary distribution (they are on ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/devel/tcl).
- Then just untar this thing in / and run spectcl. That's it.
-
- See the README in this directory for what to do with the files it makes.
- One thing though, make sure that you run the files with bltt_wish (included
- with this package), as the generated code uses blt_table at run time as well
- as for the GUI builder itself.
-
- Have Fun.
