	Tcl on iPhone SDK? by Scott Redman :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Has anyone managed to build Tcl (not Tk) using the official iPhone SDK yet? I'm about to embark on such a task, any help would be appreciated (procedures, makefiles, even pre-built libraries). Tk (or something like it) might be on the horizon as well, but that's a different topic for a different thread. -- Scott ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

No, but Installer.app does have an app for Tcl (and Perl and Python). I haven't installed it myself, but it is likely just an ARM port and most certainly doesn't use the iphone SDK. Note that atm the iphone sdk eula expressly forbids building interpreted languages on it.

There was some discussion about that, but Jason Slack is working on general Tk/Cocoa stuff first (the iphone would be the Cocoa Touch variant).

	Re: Tcl on iPhone SDK? by Scott Redman-2 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Stupid EULA... I guess only the server side gets Tcl until/unless they change that. I'm ok with that (short term at least). I'm sure you can build it, you just won't be able to publish it on their store. They may be worried about security or space, both concerns that I would have as well. I guess there's not much point in talking Tk until the EULA is changed. But, remember that Cocoa != Cocoa Touch, both in the APIs as well as in the whole user interface model. There are different events and widgets, so Tk would be very different on the iPhone than other platforms... -- Scott *Jeff Hobbs <jeffh@...>* wrote: Scott Redman wrote: > Has anyone managed to build Tcl (not Tk) using the official iPhone SDK yet?

Actually I think it is more about control of the device than anything else. You can't lose more control than by providing dynamic languages on the platform that can interface to all the key APIs ... > I guess there's not much point in talking Tk until the EULA is changed. > But, remember that Cocoa != Cocoa Touch, both in the APIs as well as in > the whole user interface model.
