Purpose: to discuss on what platforms Tcl runs, and point to pages that discuss particular issues relating to the various operating systems. * A/UX * [AIX] * Agenda PDA * AmigaDOS (for older versions of Tcl) * BeOS (Tcl only, no Tk) * various BSD variations * Darwin * [DG/UX] * Dynix * EPOC ER5 * [FreeBSD] * [HP-UX] - Binaries can be found at places like [ActiveTcl]. * Irix (definitely including 6.5) * IRIX64 * [Linux] - Most current Linux distributions come with Tcl and Tk as installable packages, and it should compile just fine. Binaries can be found at places like [ActiveTcl] * LynxOS * MS Windows 3.x (for older versions of Tcl) * MS Windows 9.x, ME, NT, XP * 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 * [NetBSD] * NEWS-OS * NeXTSTeP * [OpenBSD] * 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] * Qnx * RISCOS * SunOS 4 (the BSD-based predecessor to Solaris) - does Tcl/Tk run on this OS? To make life interesting, Sun retrospectively renamed this operating system Solaris 1.x, while the SVR5-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; when talking about whether Tcl and Tk runs on the platform, consider the terms interchangeable - Tcl and Tk builds 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 * [Microsoft Windows and Tcl] , [Windows/CE]/[PocketPC] and binaries can be found in [ActiveTcl] as well as other places. * Xenix ---- [Category Porting]
