Re: [MACTCL] Porting of BLT on OS X

[Virden, L. W. <lv...@ca...>]

Actually, I don't _think_ BLT is a part of ActiveTcl... At least as of a
year or so ago. There used to be a problem with it not making use of the
Stubs interface.  Also, BLT makes heavy use of X and Tk internals - it
may be tough to get that working using the MacOS native libraries.

Alex,

There's not much to porting BLT to Mac OS X other than (re)compiling the

BLT sources.  It's included in the ActiveTCL distribution, if I'm not=20
mistaken, as well as in our distribution of BRL-CAD.  In our release,=20
there are a few (rather minor) 64-bit issues and compiler warnings taken

care of, but even the primary version should pretty much work as you'd=20
hope:  http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3D18616

If you'd like help compiling the BRL-CAD's (re)distribution of BLT
(which=20
includes autotoolsification of the BLT build system), feel free to stop
by=20
the #brlcad irc channel on irc.freenode.net.  There is a web-based IRC=20
interface to our channel available at http://irc.brlcad.org/.

As far as I know, there's not an Xcode project specifically for just
BLT,=20
but it may be bundled in as part of one of the various kitchen sink
tcl/tk=20
bundles.  Hope something in all of that helps.

Ciao,
