Hello,

has anyone managed to make MacOSX Tk, which is available at SourceForge,
to work?

Typing ' puts stdout {Hello, World!}' in the console yields the
following message:
can not find channel named "stdout"

This is just a bug. It is fixed in the current top of the macosx branch.
Look back in the archives of this list for the Announcement of the port=20=

for
instructions on how to get & build this.  It is really quite easy...


I have put Wish in ~/MyApps  (I created the folder myself since an
Application folder did not already exist). and the frameworks in
~/Library/Frameworks (I created the Frameworks folder myself since it
did not already exist).

Furthemore, I would like to use it with Perl. Any hints?


A couple of people have expressed interest in this, but it is a lot of=20=

work
to make this happen.  The biggest problem is that TkPerl is using a=20

update
the code base to 8.4.  This seems not to be entirely trivial, and last I
heard no one was actively working on it.
