Low level bindings for Tcl & Tk for Nim

Low level bindings for Tcl & Tk for Nim

installation

You may install using nimble

nimble install https://github.com/neroist/nimtcl

However, this library depends on a Tcl 8.6 installation. There are many ways to install Tcl; these bindings were created from the binaries and header files found here: https://gitlab.com/teclabat/tcltk/-/packages. However, you may install from ActiveTcl instead. This may be easier for windows users.

Linux users just need to install the needed packages from their package manager. For example, on a Debian-based/Ubuntu-based system, you can run

sudo apt-get install tcl

to install Tcl.

Note than some components, even including Tk, man pages and C libraries may be separate packages and installed in a similar manner.

Usage

Please see the examples on how to use this library.

For documentation, you may look at the Tcl/Tk C API documenation here (or here & here) or the tutorials here.
