From: drscrypt on 29 Jan 2010 12:22 With the recent announcement of iPad, I was wondering if Tcl can be (has been?) used on Apple's iPhone, iPod, iPad, etc. Has anyone done anything like this? Is it a supported language on these products? DrS

On the other hand, http://modmyi.com/forums/native-iphone-ipod-touch-app-launches/27850-lua-scripting-language-iphone-ipod-touch.html says that the poster has ported Lua to the ipod/itouch environment. Perhaps this would provide a user with some tips on what to do?

I suspected so, given how everything is controlled on these products - even extending to only official Apple peripherals. > On the other hand, > http://modmyi.com/forums/native-iphone-ipod-touch-app-launches/27850-lua-scripting-language-iphone-ipod-touch.html > says that the poster has ported Lua to the ipod/itouch environment. > Perhaps this would provide a user with some tips on what to do? > I wonder if such an app developed in Lua can be integrated with Tcl. When compiling these iPhone apps, is it be possible to add in extra libraries? Then interesting possibilities could open up. DrS

It has nothing to do with technical issues. The port at the Tcl level is trivial (Tk would be quite interesting OTOH), but you are legally not allowed to ship it. You can find some of these available for unlocked iphones (I may have seen such, not that I would ever unlock a device or void my warranty ...). Jeff
