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 * IBM [AIX] * Agenda PDA * AmigaDOS (for older versions of Tcl) * BeOS (Tcl only, no Tk) * 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. * 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] * Qnx * 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. * Xenix See also: * [On What Platforms Does Tcl 8.5 Run] * [On What Platforms Does Tcl 8.6 Run] * [Cross Platform differences in Tcl/Tk] * [What should I be sure to do so my Tcl based programs run cross platform] * [How should I then code if I want my program to run on most platforms] * [tcl_platform] ---- !!!!!! %|[Category Porting]|% !!!!!!
