Ruby/Tk

Tk interface module using tcltklib

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'tk'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install tk

You may need to set options when using gem install so that the gem can find the Tcl/Tk headers and library:

$ gem install tk -- \
    --with-tcl-include='/path/to/tcl/header/directory' \
    --with-tk-include='/path/to/tk/header/directory' \
    --with-tcl-lib='/path/to/tcl/shared/library/directory' \
    --with-tk-lib='/path/to/tk/shared/library/directory'

Documentation

Read this first

If you want to use Ruby/Tk (tk.rb and so on), you must have tcltklib.so which is working correctly. When you have some troubles on compiling, please read README.tcltklib and README.ActiveTcl.

Even if there is a tcltklib.so on your Ruby library directory, it will not work without Tcl/Tk libraries (e.g. libtcl8.4.so) on your environment. You must also check that your Tcl/Tk is installed properly.

Ruby/Tk (tk.rb など) を使いたい場合には，tcltklib.so が正しく動いていな ければなりません．コンパイル時に何か問題が生じた場合は，README.tcltklib や README.ActiveTcl を見てください．

たとえ Ruby のライブラリディレクトリに tcltklib.so が存在していたとして も，実行環境に Tcl/Tk ライブラリ (libtcl8.4.so など) がなければ機能しま せん．Tcl/Tk が正しくインストールされているかもチェックしてください．
