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 confuse matters further, 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 - 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
