Installing Tix.py
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
0) To use Tix.py, you need Tcl/Tk (V8.3.3), Tix (V8.1.1) and Python (V2.1.1).
|
|
Tix.py has been written and tested on a Intel Pentium running RH Linux 5.2
|
|
and Mandrake Linux 7.0 and Windows with the above mentioned packages.
|
|
|
|
Older versions, e.g. Tix 4.1 and Tk 8.0, might also work.
|
|
|
|
There is nothing OS-specific in Tix.py itself so it should work on
|
|
any machine with Tix and Python installed. You can get Tcl and Tk
|
|
from http://dev.scriptics.com and Tix from http://tix.sourceforge.net.
|
|
|
|
1) Build and install Tcl/Tk 8.3. Build and install Tix 8.1.
|
|
Ensure that Tix is properly installed by running tixwish and executing
|
|
the demo programs. Under Unix, use the --enable-shared configure option
|
|
for all three. We recommend tcl8.3.3 for this release of Tix.py.
|
|
|
|
2a) If you have a distribution like ActiveState with a tcl subdirectory
|
|
of $PYTHONHOME, which contains the directories tcl8.3 and tk8.3,
|
|
make a directory tix8.1 as well. Recursively copy the files from
|
|
<tix>/library to $PYTHONHOME/lib/tix8.1, and copy the dynamic library
|
|
(tix8183.dll or libtix8.1.8.3.so) to the same place as the tcl dynamic
|
|
libraries ($PYTHONHOME/Dlls or lib/python-2.1/lib-dynload). In this
|
|
case you are all installed, and you can skip to the end.
|
|
|
|
2b) Modify Modules/Setup.dist and setup.py to change the version of the
|
|
tix library from tix4.1.8.0 to tix8.1.8.3
|
|
These modified files can be used for Tkinter with or without Tix.
|
|
|
|
3) The default is to build dynamically, and use the Tcl 'package require'.
|
|
To build statically, modify the Modules/Setup file to link in the Tix
|
|
library according to the comments in the file. On Linux this looks like:
|
|
|
|
# *** Always uncomment this (leave the leading underscore in!):
|
|
_tkinter _tkinter.c tkappinit.c -DWITH_APPINIT \
|
|
# *** Uncomment and edit to reflect where your Tcl/Tk libraries are:
|
|
-L/usr/local/lib \
|
|
# *** Uncomment and edit to reflect where your Tcl/Tk headers are:
|
|
-I/usr/local/include \
|
|
# *** Uncomment and edit to reflect where your X11 header files are:
|
|
-I/usr/X11R6/include \
|
|
# *** Or uncomment this for Solaris:
|
|
# -I/usr/openwin/include \
|
|
# *** Uncomment and edit for BLT extension only:
|
|
# -DWITH_BLT -I/usr/local/blt/blt8.0-unoff/include -lBLT8.0 \
|
|
# *** Uncomment and edit for PIL (TkImaging) extension only:
|
|
# (See http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/ for more info)
|
|
# -DWITH_PIL -I../Extensions/Imaging/libImaging tkImaging.c \
|
|
# *** Uncomment and edit for TOGL extension only:
|
|
# -DWITH_TOGL togl.c \
|
|
# *** Uncomment and edit for Tix extension only:
|
|
-DWITH_TIX -ltix8.1.8.3 \
|
|
# *** Uncomment and edit to reflect your Tcl/Tk versions:
|
|
-ltk8.3 -ltcl8.3 \
|
|
# *** Uncomment and edit to reflect where your X11 libraries are:
|
|
-L/usr/X11R6/lib \
|
|
# *** Or uncomment this for Solaris:
|
|
# -L/usr/openwin/lib \
|
|
# *** Uncomment these for TOGL extension only:
|
|
# -lGL -lGLU -lXext -lXmu \
|
|
# *** Uncomment for AIX:
|
|
# -lld \
|
|
# *** Always uncomment this; X11 libraries to link with:
|
|
-lX11
|
|
|
|
4) Rebuild Python and reinstall.
|
|
|
|
You should now have a working Tix implementation in Python. To see if all
|
|
is as it should be, run the 'tixwidgets.py' script in the Demo/tix directory.
|
|
Under X windows, do
|
|
/usr/local/bin/python Demo/tix/tixwidgets.py
|
|
|
|
If this does not work, you may need to tell python where to find
|
|
the Tcl, Tk and Tix library files. This is done by setting the
|
|
TCL_LIBRARY, TK_LIBRARY and TIX_LIBRARY environment variables. Try this:
|
|
|
|
env TCL_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/tcl8.3 \
|
|
TK_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/tk8.3 \
|
|
TIX_LIBRARY=/usr/local/lib/tix8.1 \
|
|
/usr/local/bin/python Demo/tix/tixwidgets.py
