如何在Mac OS X上安装Tix？

Question

I have been trying to install Tix to create a GUI in Python, and I couldn't make it.

My computer characteristics are:

• Macbook Pro
• Processor: Intel 2.4GHz intel core i5
• Architecture: 64-bits

And Python version is: Python 2.7.3 |EPD 7.3-2 (64-bit)|

I am using Aptana Studio 3.

I have been trying using Macports and it has been impossible. Do you know a way you have succeeded with?

Answer 1

I wrote a small guide . Maybe this will help others:

Notes: The specified version numbers are important, since Tix 8.4 does not work with Tcl/Tkl 8.6.x

• Install xQuartz
• Download Tcl 8.5 and Tk 8.5
• Download Tix 8.4
• Copy into directory structure ./src/Tix8.4.x , /src/Tcl8.5.x , /src/Tk8.5.x

• Compile Tcl:

   cd ./src/Tcl8.5.x ./configure --enable-shared make 

• Compile Tk:

   cd ./src/Tk8.5.x ./configure --enable-shared make 

• Tix:

   cd ./src/Tix8.4.x ./configure LDFLAGS="-L/usr/X11/lib" --enable-shared make make install 

• Set Tix Library path (eg in your .bashrc/.zshrc) to let python find the tix library: export TIX_LIBRARY="/usr/local/lib/Tix8.4.x" (adjust version number)

• You are done!
