[MACTCL] Tix for MacOS X ?

[Ruediger G. <rg...@r-...>]

Hello,

I'm new to this list and I never have into coding
TCl/Tk themselves before. However, I used programming
for years on other fields (mainly numerics).

About a year ago I started to created PIM-Application
for Linux (minkowsky, see www.r-goetz.de/minkowskt/ , its only
German up to now, however). I'm using Tcl/Tk and Tix for this task.
I choosed this Tookkits for two reasons, beeing familiar with it
and portability.

Since the first release of minkowsky I watched out for Tk beeing available 
for MacOS X. Unfortunately I m stuck in getting Tk mand Tix running under MacOS X.

In order to build tix I obtained the tk-source from CVS and tried to 
build tk from  the scratch. Unfortunatelt I didn't found any install 
documention for MacOS X (or did I miss it ?). Simply doing a 
configure in the unix-subdirectory didn't work (as expected).
But I found nothing in the macosx subdirectory but an Wish.pbproj
folder containing nothing but CVS controll files.

Now my questions are 
- How to build tk on  MacOS X
- Is there already a running tix for MacOS X (natively not with XDarwin)
- What problems should I expect on porting tix?

If I missed some documention, pointer thereto would be appreciated as well.

TIA

Yours
