'''TclTk Aqua Batteries-Included''' is a freely available [Batteries Included] binary distribution of the [MacOS X] native Tcl/Tk and over fifty popular extensions. It is a superset of [ActiveTcl] (on other platforms). [TclTkAquaBI] is maintained by [Daniel Steffen]. About it, [Steve Landers] remarked, "Daniel's work on the Mac 'Batteries Included' is particularly noteworthy .... it makes it trivially easy for non-Mac people to move their Tcl/Tk scripts to that platform ..." Smaller distributions of MacOS X Tcl/Tk only, and of a self-contained Wish application (similar to [TclKit]), are also available. The distributions are downloadable as compressed disk images from the file area [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=86100&release_id=332919] of the Tcl/Tk Aqua sourceforge site. The latest downloads require [MacOS X] 10.3 (Panther) or later, and are fully compatible with [MacOS X] 10.4 (Tiger); note that Tiger already includes a subset of TclTkAquaBI (from the 8.4.7.0 release) [http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/tiger]. [MacOS] X 10.2 and earlier are no longer supported. Visit http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/ for more details and direct download links. See below for a list of packages included with the latest '''TclTkAquaBI 8.4.10''' release, note that this also includes binaries of the Tcl/Tk Aqua 8.5a3 alpha release. Most packages are built from the HEAD (resp. tip of core-8-4-branch) of their CVS repositories as of 2005-06-06 14:00:00 GMT (or from the latest tarballs where there is no CVS access), see [http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/8.4.10/cvsTag.conf] for details; with some patches [http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/8.4.10/patches/] applied. The tools used to build the distribution (including the installer packages & disk images) are available [http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/8.4.10/], including archives of the exact (unpatched) sources [http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/8.4.10/src/] used to build the distribution. Also at that location are individual tarballs of the binaries [http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/8.4.10/tar/] and installer packages [http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/8.4.10/pkg/] contained in the distribution. The Tcl/Tk Aqua 8.5a3 alpha release is installed in addition to 8.4.10; both releases coexist peacefully inside the Tcl/Tk frameworks. The default binaries continue to be 8.4, e.g. tclsh is tclsh8.4, and Tcl.framework/Tcl is 8.4; but tclsh8.5, wish8.5, Tcl.framework/Versions/8.5/Tcl etc. are also available, as is the html documentation for 8.5. Tk/X11 8.4.10 built as a framework is installed as an additional framework version in Tk.framework, and 'wish-X11' is the standard unix X11 wish binary. Note however that none of the Tk extensions in the distribution are available from Tk/X11 as they are linked against Tk/Aqua. Note the presence of both [Tclkit], Tclkit-X11 and Wishkit; these allow the running of [starkit]s under Tk/Aqua or Tk/X11: tclkit contains Tk/Aqua and tclkit-X11 contains Tk/X11, these are single-file (unbundled) executables, whereas Wishkit is an application bundle tclkit-analogue containing Tk/Aqua. The distributions use the standard Apple Installer, allowing users to install all or only some of the packages included. The BI installer is also easily adapted to include only a subset of the bundled packages for building customized distributions. The TclTkAqua BI distribution is available free of charge for any use permitted under the open-source BSD License [http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/LICENSE], including use in commercial products. However, given that the ongoing maintenance and improvement of the distribution requires a significant amount of time, donations [http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/#donations] supporting the future development of TclTkAquaBI are certainly greatly appreciated. ---- '''Packages included with the TclTk Aqua BI 8.4.10.0 distribution:''' * [Tcl]/[Tk] 8.4.10, [Tk]-X11 8.4.10, [Thread] 2.6.1 [http://www.tcl.tk/] * [TclX] 8.4 [http://tclx.sourceforge.net/] * [TclVfs] 1.3 [http://sourceforge.net/projects/tclvfs/] * [Expect] 5.43 [http://expect.nist.gov/] * [Tcllib] 1.7.0.1, [Tklib] 0.2, [BWidget] 1.7, [Mclistbox] 1.02 [http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/] * [XOTcl] 1.3.6 [http://www.xotcl.org/] * [incr tcl]/[incr tk] 3.3, [IWidgets] 4.0.2 [http://incrtcl.sourceforge.net/itcl/] * [TkTable] 2.9, [VUW widgets] 2.2 [http://tktable.sourceforge.net/] * [TkHtml] 2.0 [http://www.hwaci.com/sw/tkhtml/] * [Tile] 0.6 [http://tktable.sourceforge.net/tile/] * [Img] 1.3 [http://sourceforge.net/projects/tkimg/] * [TkTreeCtrl] 2.0 [http://tktreectrl.sourceforge.net/] * [Tix] 8.4 [http://tix.sourceforge.net/] * [TclXML]/[TclDOM]/[TclXSLT] 3.1 [http://tclxml.sourceforge.net/] * [TclSOAP] 1.6.7 [http://tclsoap.sourceforge.net/] * [tDOM] 0.8.1 [http://www.tdom.org/] * [Memchan] 2.2.1 [http://memchan.sourceforge.net/] * [Trf] 2.1p2 [http://tcltrf.sourceforge.net/], TrfCrypt 2.0p3 [http://www.oche.de/~akupries/soft/trfcrypt/] * [TLS] 1.5.1 [http://tls.sourceforge.net/] * [TclUDP] 1.0.7 [http://tcludp.sourceforge.net/] * [TclCurl] 0.14.0 [http://personal1.iddeo.es/andresgarci/tclcurl/english/] * [TclODBC] 2.5 [http://sourceforge.net/projects/tclodbc/] * Tcl[SQLite] 2.8.16, Tcl[SQLite]3 3.2.1 [http://www.sqlite.org/] * [TclHttpd] 3.5.2 [http://tclhttpd.sourceforge.net/] * [TclJava] 1.3.1 [http://tcljava.sourceforge.net/] * [Tbcload]/Compiler/Parser 1.4 [http://tclpro.sourceforge.net/] * [Ffidl] 0.6 [http://elf.org/ffidl/] * [SWIG] 1.3.25 [http://www.swig.org/] * [BLT]lite 3.0a [http://blt.sourceforge.net/] * [Metakit]/Mk4Tcl 2.4.9.3, [Oomk] 0.3.2 [http://www.equi4.com/metakit/tcl.html] * [Snack] 2.2.9 [http://www.speech.kth.se/snack/] * [TcLex] 1.2 [http://sourceforge.net/projects/tclex/] * [TclAE] 2.0 [http://tclae.sourceforge.net/] * [TclAppleScript] 1.0 [http://sourceforge.net/projects/tclapplescript/] * TclResource 1.1.1 [http://sourceforge.net/projects/tclresource/] * [QuickTimeTcl] 3.1b5 [http://quicktimetcl.sourceforge.net/] * [MacSpeech] 2.0 [http://tclspeech.sourceforge.net/] * TclAddressBook 1.1.4 [http://tcladdressbook.sourceforge.net/] * MacCarbonPrint 0.2 [http://sourceforge.net/projects/tclbitprint/] * [e4Graph] 1.0a12 [http://e4graph.sourceforge.net/] * [Tkcon] 2.4 [http://tkcon.sourceforge.net/] * [TclApps] 2005-05-26 [http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/] * Tcl[DES in Tcl] 0.8 [http://tcldes.sourceforge.net/] * [Tcl Tutor]ial 2005-03-21 [http://www.msen.com/~clif/TclTutor.html] * [Tclkit] & [Tclkit]-X11 8.4.10, [SDX], [Critcl], [Wikit] [http://www.equi4.com/tclkit/] * Wishkit 8.4.10 [http://www.equi4.com/tclkit/] * CritLib 2003-04-10 [http://www.equi4.com/critlib/] * [CarbonCritLib] 2005-05-01 [http://rutherglen.ics.mq.edu.au/~steffen/tcltk/carboncritlib/] * Launcher 1.1.1 [http://www.maths.mq.edu.au/~steffen/tcltk/Launcher/] * [Tcl]/[Tk] Prerelease 8.5a3 [http://www.tcl.tk/] ---- ''[[ [Daniel Steffen] 6/June/05 ]]'' ---- [category distribution]
