Swisskit
Swisskit is an elaborate build of Tclkit Lite for Mac OS X.
It was built with the new Kitgen configuration system.
Swisskit …
- … is based on the latest Tcl/Tk 8.5a6 sources from CVS
- … is a universal threaded build for any PowerPC or Intel 10.4-based Mac
- … can bring up an X11-based Tk if the “DISPLAY” environment var is set
- … will use the Tk Aqua shared library instead if “DISPLAY” is not set
- … includes all available encodings, message catalogs, and timezone files
- … has Tile and the Thread + Ttrace packages, as well as TclVFS and Vlerq
In other words: Swisskit can be the Swiss Army Knife for Tcl/Tk on the Mac.

Swisskit is a tribute to Daniel Steffen, who has contiously improved the Tcl/Tk
system for Macintosh, and who has made it possible to load either the Aqua or
the X11 version of Tk from the same single-file standalone executable.
