LIGOtools Package: tclexe

This package contains the programs tclshexe and wishexe, which are pre-built, standalone versions of the standard Tcl/Tk shells tclsh and wish. This allows one to execute Tcl/Tk programs without having to install Tcl/Tk itself. The main purpose is to allow other LIGOtools packages to include Tcl/Tk scripts.

Authors: The Tcl/Tk development team, for the core software, and D. Richard Hipp, for the mktclapp utility used to build the standalone executables.
LIGOtools contributor: Peter Shawhan

Notes

The "source distribution" includes the complete Tcl/Tk source code, downloaded from http://www.tcl.tk/. The Tcl/Tk development web site is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcl.
The creation of the standalone executables tclshexe and wishexe was done using D. Richard Hipp's 'mktclapp' utility (http://www.hwaci.com/sw/mktclapp).
At present, tclshexe and wishexe include only the packages distributed with the Tcl/Tk core, such as the Tcl 'http' package. In the future, they might include certain extensions to Tcl/Tk. Also, tclshexe and wishexe are special in that they automatically know how to find Tcl/Tk libraries provided (in $LIGOTOOLS/lib) by other LIGOtools packages, such as the ldasjob package.

Documentation

Online documentation about the Tcl/Tk language can be found at http://tcl.activestate.com/man/tcl8.4/.

This should build properly on any unix system (though it takes many minutes). The Makefile is written is written in such a way that it is supposed to work regardless of what C compiler is installed on your system, e.g. cc or gcc or icc or whatever. If it doesn't work for you, let me know.
