TickleText was created by Anthony Baldwin http://wiki.tonybaldwin.info http://tonyb.us/tcltext
tickle text requires:
- Tcl/Tk8.5 (or newer)
Get it here:
LaTeX and pdf functions depend upon enscript, pdflatex, and latex2html. Most gnu/linux distros, to my knowledge, will already have most of those by default, but, if not, install with your distro's pkg manager (apt, yum, pacman, whatever) or get them here:
- Enscript: http://www.codento.com/people/mtr/genscript/
- pdflatex: http://www.tug.org/applications/pdftex/
- latex2html: http://www.latex2html.org/
FTP tools require tcl package ftp
tcl ftp and http are part of tcllib.
If you don't have that, for most, it's as simple as
aptitude/yum/apt-get/teacup install tcllib
ActiveTcl distribution includes Tcllib.
While tcl is cross-platform and most of tcltext will work on Windows, some of its features wont work, just yet. I'm working on a new, better cross-platform release more accomodating for Windows (needs work in printing and a few other things). Hold on! (as of 2014-02-03)
As far as I know, everyting should work fine on any Linux, or BSD system, and, probably, OSX.
Installation for gnu/linux or OSX:
cd to the dir where you've downloaded
and extracted the tarball and do
tar -xf tcltext2.3.tar.gz
or just clone the git repo, and cd to that dir. Either way, do:
./install.sh
This should move all relevant scripts to
$HOME/bin, and properly change permissions,
as well as create a .tcltext directory in your home (and root's home)
to save configs.
If you have difficulty, feel free to e-mail me.
TDict can be run on it's own, once this installation is run, as can the calculator, and the calendar. They'll be at
- $HOME/bin/tdict
- $HOME/bin/tcalcu
- $HOME/bin/ticklecal respectively.
