[GRASS-dev] WinGRASS & Tcl/Tk

[benjamin.ducke at ufg.uni-kiel.de]

Tcl is the programming language, Tk provides the graphical user
interface on top of that. So you need both:

Compile and install Tcl (using MSYS):

tar -xzvf tcl8.5.1-src.tar.gz
cd tcl8.5.1/win
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install

cp /usr/local/bin/tclsh85.exe /usr/local/bin/tclsh.exe


Install the Tk GUI widgets:

tar -xzvf tk8.5.1-src.tar.gz
cd tk8.5.1/win
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install

cp /usr/local/bin/wish84.exe /usr/local/bin/wish.exe


Hope this helps.

Good luck,

Benjamin
