--- Tix 8.4.0 Release Notes ---
CHANGES
=======
For a full list of the changes, see ChangeLog in the parent
directory. Here's a list of the major changes and improvements:
+ Complete rewrite of the build system to use TEA
+ Separation of Tix package require and Tix style usage
+ Code cleanup to use Tcl 8.4 as a base version
The python binding has not been updated and may require some
maintenance work to function with this release.
DOWNLOAD TIX
============
The sources to this release of Tix can be downloaded from
http://tix.sourceforge.net/
You also need to download Tcl and Tk sources from
http://www.tck.tk/
BUILD TIX
=========
1. Uncompress and unpack the distribution
ON UNIX / OS X:
gzip -cd Tix<version>.tar.gz | tar xf -
ON WINDOWS:
use something like WinZip to unpack the archive.
Because of major changes in the build system, you may run into
difficulties when building Tix. Do not despair. If you have
questions, bug reports or, better yet, bug fixes, please send post
them on http://tix.sourceforge.net.
2. Configure
ON UNIX / OS X:
cd Tix<version>
./configure
Tix uses information left in tkConfig.sh when you built tk. This
file will be found in $exec_prefix/lib/. You might set the --prefix and
--exec-prefix options of configure if you don't want the default
(/usr/local). If building on multiple unix platforms, the following is
recommended to isolate build conflicts:
mkdir <builddir>/<platform>
cd !$
/path/to/Tix<version>/configure
ON WINDOWS:
Version 8.4 added support for building in the cygwin environment on
Windows based on TEA (http://www.tcl.tk/doc/tea/). You can retrieve
cygwin from:
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
Inside the cygwin environment, you build the same as on Unix.
Otherwise, hack makefile.vc until it works and compile. It has problems
executing wish from a path with a space in it, but the DLL builds just
fine. A DLL should be available where you found this archive.
3. Make and Install
ON UNIX, OS X or WINDOWS (with cygwin):
make
make test (OPTIONAL)
make install
ON WINDOWS (makefile.vc):
nmake -f makefile.vc
nmake -f makefile.vc test (OPTIONAL)
nmake -f makefile.vc install
RUN TESTS AND DEMOS
===================
Refer to the win/README.txt and unix/README.txt files for
instructions. You just need to type "make test" and "make
rundemos" in most cases.
FEEDBACK
========
Please send us feedback so that we know about the quality of this
release. If it works fine, consider sending us a message such as
"it works" and noting the versions of OS, Tcl/Tk and other
relevant components. If you encounter problems, please let us know
so that we can fix them.
Again, thank you for helping with Tix testing.
