TclTk

Disclaimer

This Tcl distribution, if you can call it that, does not provide all the build functionality that the original Tcl source distributions do: I see no chance of building Tcl on Ultrix, IRIX, AIX, OSF/1, VMS*, and other archaic/exotic systems by using this project. (Even if the required system checks would be done correctly, whether CMake itself builds on said platforms is most probably the tightest bottleneck.)

*: I do not know if Tcl by default builds on VMS or not. I know Perl5 does, so I guess Tcl does too?

TclTk

This repository provides a CMake project for building Tcl (including core packages) and Tk.

Tcl/Tk is used by the optional GUI DieShell/dsh provides and this project was born to ease creating the installer for DieShell, by providing a homogenous CMake build environment for all DieShell and Tcl.

C and corresponding header sources are only minimally modified where include paths do not work properly with the original relative include paths.

All AutoTools related build files are removed, with a few literally useless files which contain nothing; Tcl's threadUnix.c file for example. (If I learn how to, I will send a patch about this latter change back to the Tcl people.)

CMake Targets

For use in other CMake projects, the following targets are defined for target_link_libraries.

tcl The Tcl shared library
tclstub The Tcl stub library
tk The Tk shared library
tkstub The Tk stub library

The tclsh, and wish executable targets may be used for custom commands that wish to rely on a fresh-baked Tcl interpreter.
