[PyOpenGL-Devel] Fwd: Re: [Togl-chat] Adding support for Tk 8.4?

[Mike C. F. <mcf...@ro...>]

Hi all,

I got this mail from Jonas (thanks Jonas) on the Togl-chat list, 
suggesting that if we use the 1.6 version of Togl then Tk 8.4 support is 
automatic.  Another post tells me that to get 8.4 support in Python 
2.2.1 will require a rebuild of Python, so...

I've just confirmed that dropping the CVS version of Togl into the 
PyOpenGL2 source tree as src/Togl-1.6 (and un-commenting line 23 in 
togl_setup.py, which I assume was from Rene doing the same thing) will 
allow us to build with the 1.6 version of Togl (though it seems to 
declare itself to be the 1.5 version) compiled against Python's current 
Tk version (in my case 8.3).

I still haven't tried re-compiling Python with Tk 8.4, so can't be sure 
what happens there, but from Jonas' post it sounds like if you can get 
Togl 1.6 compiled you should have it available with every current 
version of Tk, which should in turn make it available for all versions 
of PyOpenGL if I understand correctly.

So, basically:
	get latest CVS version of Togl
	copy files to PyOpenGL/src/Togl-1.6
	uncomment line 23 in togl_setup.py
	run setup.py build --force
	run setup.py install

If Tk is properly linked to Python, that _should_ just work.  Torsten, 
could you confirm that it does with your Tk8.4-linked version of Python? 
  If so, I'll write it up in the docs.  Otherwise I'll have to byte the 
bullet and figure out how to build Python with Tk8.4.

Hope 8.4 is really a killer advance :o) ,
Mike

The current CVS-version og Togl should work just fine with Tcl/Tk 8.4.0
since it is stubs-enabled (it shouldn't even have to be re-compiled). I
have tried it with previous 8.4aX-releases on linux and windows.
