Hi.
This will help you build a shared library that will let you display mixed languages like Arabic and Latin characters in the proper visual way. FriBidi is the library which does it.
Required Debian packages:
- apt-get install swig ; swig is the one that can let us use any C/C++ library and transform its methods and functions into Tcl commands, Perl functions, PHP functions.
- apt-get install libfribidi-dev ; we need this to build the Tcl version of FriBiDi
- apt-get install tcl8.6-dev ; Swig needs this to include the Tcl bindings and make us the Tcl commands; If you have ActiveTcl installed you don't need this. Please don't confine yourself to version 8.6 .. check if it works too for 8.5. I think it must.
