So what have I been up to the last few days…?
I ported Tcl 8.4.x and AOLserver 4.x to the iPhone. Tcl is already available via AppTapp and AOLserver will follow soon, hopefully.

Digg this!
Looks like it works for me. I’m new to tcl and am looking for a quick way to whip together apps on my iPhone. Not sure if this is what I need but it looks like it’s gonna work quite well. I previously used SmallBASIC and OnBoard C with a Treo 650. Hoping I can get native dialogs, buttons, etc… with tk.
FYI, after running the Installer.app and installing your tcl/tk package I used the xterm program to try out a hello world in tcl and the files were all dumped in my /usr/ directory instead of being put into /usr/bin /usr/lib so I had to manually move them around, after that it worked fine. Thanks for the port!
Hey Don,
I’m glad the dist is working for you after modifying the locations. I sent a report over to nullriver about fixing the dist.
Unfortunately, Tk isn’t a part of the port due to a lack of dependencies (e.g., X11).
For now I think you’ll have to use native objc/c++ or one of the currently ported web app envs.
Thanks for the feedback!
Hi,
i am also trying to port a TCL program which is based on the wish kit over to the iphone.
moved the files as decribed above. I crated a very simple hello world in a TCL file, which is executed via wish. The only thing happening is that the iphone freezes with nothing happening.
any suggestion on where to start?
Marcel,
This is basically the same problem Don is having. There needs to be a port of Tk to use the native GUI (e.g., possibly based upon UIKit) on the iPhone or a port of an X11-ish system to the iPhone, along with Tk. Don’t think this is out of the question, but I wasn’t planning to do that. :)
