  • tcllib & tklib & Tcl/Tk 9

    From Mark Summerfield@21:1/5 to All on Wed May 29 08:12:25 2024
    I have just downloaded and installed Tcl/Tk 9.0b2 to experiment with.

    However, some of my applications depend on TclLib and TkLib. But when I
    ran the installer for TclLib 1.21 it said that it would only work with Tcl
    8.2 (which is odd because my Debian system's Tcl/Tk is 8.6 and TclLib and
    TkLib are available as packages that go with it).

    Are there plans to port these libraries to Tcl/Tk 9?

    Yes, there has been quite some work to make sure they work with Tcl/Tk
    9. But the message about version 8.2 is rather odd. Can't help you
    there, I am afraid.

    I think the problem is that I downloaded from https://www.tcl.tk/ but this
    has old versions (tklib 0.7 2020; tcllib 1.21 2022).

    Where can I find the versions being developed in conjunction with Tcl/Tk
    9?
