Purpose: to discuss on what platforms [Tcl] runs, and point to pages
that discuss particular issues relating to the various operating systems.
If you know specific versions that work on these platforms,
please update this info.
* A/UX * Android, according to http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/ and [AndroWish]
* IBM [AIX]
* Agenda PDA
* AmigaDOS (for older versions of Tcl) * BeOS (Tcl only, no Tk), Haiku (incl. Tk, see [undroidwish])
* various BSD Unix variations such as [FreeBSD] , [NetBSD] , [OpenBSD]
* Apple's [Darwin]; see "MacOS", below
* [DG/UX]
* Dynix
* EPOC ER5
* [HP-UX] - Binaries can be found at places like [ActiveTcl].
* Irix (definitely including 6.5 and IRIX64)
* [Linux] - Most current Linux distributions come with Tcl and Tk as installable packages, and they should compile just fine. Binaries can be found at places like [ActiveTcl] as well as the various rpm repositories, etc.
* LynxOS
* [Microsoft Windows] 3.x (for older versions of Tcl)
* [Microsoft Windows] 9.x, ME, NT, XP, Vista
* Microsoft Window64 - WinXP and Vista 64 bit editions.
* [MS-DOS] and FreeDOS
* Apple's MacOS - Older versions of Tcl and Tk ran on MacOS 7/8/9.x, and the current version runs on [MacOS X] [Apple Macintosh and Tcl/Tk] and binaries can be found on http://sf.net/projects/tcl and other places
* MachTen
* NEWS-OS
* NeXTSTeP
* OpenNT
* OS-9
* [OS/2]
* OS/390
* [OS/400], also called "iSeries"
* OSF/1, also called "Digital Unix" and "Tru64 Unix" and ... (but '''not''' "Ultrix")
* PalmOS [Palm Pilot]
* [PocketPC] * [QnxNX]
* ReactOS
* RISCOS
* SCO Openserver 5 [ftp://ftp2.sco.com/pub/skunkware/osr5/vols/]
* SunOS 4 (the BSD-based predecessor to Solaris) - older versions of Tcl/Tk certainly run on this OS; it's unknown whether the current version does. To confuse matters further, Sun retrospectively renamed this operating system Solaris 1.x, while the SVR4-based OS that is "true" Solaris was numbered Solaris 2.x, then Solaris 7,8,9,10.
* [Solaris] the Sun marketing term for SunOS 5 onwards (based on UNIX System V Release 4 - SVR4) plus add-on applications - Tcl and Tk build fine on both Intel and SPARC Solaris (if you have a compiler like gcc or Sun's unbundled C compiler), and otherwise the binaries can be found at places like [ActiveTcl] or the Solaris freeware web site.
* System V.4
* UMAX V
* Ultrix
* Unicos
* [VMS]
* VxWorks (7.x only, and that port seems to have disappeared from the web)
* [Microsoft Windows and Tcl] , [Windows/CE]/[PocketPC] and binaries can be found in [ActiveTcl] as well as other places.
* webOS (discontinued Palm, HP smartphones) though a Debian or Ubuntu chroot.
* Xenix
