This is an empty page.

I just open this page to say that we can now run tcl on android. :) Have a look at: http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting


CliC 2011-01-12 A message in the discussion group http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/issues/detail?id=424 implies that the latest version of the SL4A (Scripting Layer for Android) environment somehow broke the Tcl interpreter, and that the Tcl interpreter maintainer (Pat Thoyts?) hasn't updated it. Another guy gave it a shot, at http://pragana.net/Android , but his site times out on me at the moment.

It appears that Python is the scripting language with primary focus, and the Google folks only test SL4A with Python and Perl.

Nonetheless, it looks interesting to this Android phone owner. Apparently, Android calls are made using JSON RPC; no C/C++ integration or Java RNI required. I don't know what is involved with compiling a tclkit on ARM Linux/Android, though.
