A common question on this list is how to install BLT on MS Windows. This procedure from Jim Vickroy may be of use. (It should be added to the Pmw documentation.) Greg ======================================================= From: Jim Vickroy <Jim...@no...> Subject: procedure for installing BLT on MS Windows Installing TCL/BLT for use with PMW on Microsoft Windows: 2007-08-09 Note: The following procedure has only been tested for: a. Microsoft Windows XP (service pack 2) b. Python 2.5 c. TCL 8.4 (which is included in the standard Python 2.5 distribution for Microsoft Windows) d. BLT 2.4z for TCL 8.4 0. obtain BLT from http://blt.sourceforge.net/ 1. install BLT into C:\Python25 using its installer: this made bin, include, and lib subdirectories of C:\Python25\tcl 2. copy the directory C:\Python25\tcl\lib\blt2.4 into C:\Python25\tcl\tcl8.4 3. copy C:\Python25\tcl\bin\BLT24.dll and C:\Python25\tcl\bin\BLTlite24.dll into C:\Python25\DLLS Final Note: The PMW Blt tabset demo aborts with a <type 'exceptions.TypeError'>: long() can't convert non-string with explicit base error when attempting to choose any text rotation value under the "Configure" tab. -- Greg McFarlane "I don't pay enough attention to the good things when I got 'em" |
