Irule

Irule, the .I.ron.RU.by tc.L. .E.xtension, is a Ruby library that provides a minimal wrapper around the Tcl programming language for IronRuby. It mimics the load_from_file and eval methods from its more full-featured cousin, the tcl Ruby library.

Prerequisites

1. IronRuby.
2. Tcl 8.5.
3. Mono or .NET.

Installation

1. igem install irule, or just put tcl.rb and irule.dll somewhere in your LOAD_PATH.

2. On Linux or Mac, you might need to add the following to the <configuration> section of /etc/mono/config:

<dllmap dll="tcl85" target="tcl8.5"/>

Usage

Sample code:

require 'tcl'

tcl    = Tcl::Interp.load_from_file 'some.tcl'
result = tcl.eval 'someTclCode'
