From: Zbigniew Diaczyszyn on 26 Feb 2010 03:38 When I define a procedure tk::mac::ShowPreferences working on a Mac Leopard Snow with the Mac version of ActiveState Tcl/Tk I can use the Mac Preference menu without problems. Great work! But normally I work on a Unix platform compiling my program with tclkit-darwin-aqua for a Mac Platform. And defining a procedure proc ::tk::mac::ShowPreferences {} { tk_messageBox -type ok -icon info -default ok \ -title "Preferences" \ -message "Here will be a Preference Dialog!" } and compiling it for aqua will fail on the Mac. Probably I have to add the tk::mac namespace to my Linux Tcl/Tk. But the package tclAE depends on a Mac TK, true? Is there any other way to add a library which will be enabling tk::mac::ShowPreferences on my Linux host?

The ::tk::mac::ShowPreferences procedure is Mac-only, as it hooks into Apple Events. Your best bet is probably to wrap the procedure in a Tk windowing system call to avoid errors on non-Mac platforms, i.e. if [tk windowingsystem] == "aqua"] { proc ::tk::mac::ShowPreferences {} { ..... } } HTH, Kevin -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com

[...] So there is no other way then to compile my program with tclkit-darwin-aqua on a Mac? There aren't any libraries I could add to my linux hosted Tcl/Tk? For example like: if [tk windowingsystem] == "aqua"] { package require mac_events proc ::tk::mac::ShowPreferences {} { ...... } If you do often versioning it is much more convenient to sit before your terminal and just do some bash scripting: make_aqua; make_win; make_linux |
