Tkinter of python-2.2.2-1 is unsable with the recent tcltk-20021218-1. Python 2.2.2 (#1, Nov 15 2002, 07:49:04) [GCC 2.95.3-5 (cygwin special)] on cygwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import Tkinter Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/usr/lib/python2.2/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 35, in ? import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk ImportError: dlopen: Win32 error 126
You cannot make the Tkinter usable again by just recompiling the Python. The below is a quick hack for "python-2.2.2-1/setup.py" to fix it. *** setup.py~ Thu Oct 10 00:59:16 2002 --- setup.py Fri Dec 20 05:02:20 2002 *************** *** 699,715 **** tcl_includes = find_file('tcl.h', inc_dirs, debian_tcl_include) tk_includes = find_file('tk.h', inc_dirs, debian_tk_include) ! if (tcllib is None or tklib is None and ! tcl_includes is None or tk_includes is None): # Something's missing, so give up ! return # OK... everything seems to be present for Tcl/Tk. include_dirs = [] ; libs = [] ; defs = [] ; added_lib_dirs = [] ! for dir in tcl_includes + tk_includes: ! if dir not in include_dirs: ! include_dirs.append(dir) # Check for various platform-specific directories platform = self.get_platform() --- 699,715 ---- tcl_includes = find_file('tcl.h', inc_dirs, debian_tcl_include) tk_includes = find_file('tk.h', inc_dirs, debian_tk_include) ! #if (tcllib is None or tklib is None and ! # tcl_includes is None or tk_includes is None): # Something's missing, so give up ! # return # OK... everything seems to be present for Tcl/Tk. include_dirs = [] ; libs = [] ; defs = [] ; added_lib_dirs = [] ! #for dir in tcl_includes + tk_includes: ! # if dir not in include_dirs: ! # include_dirs.append(dir) # Check for various platform-specific directories platform = self.get_platform() *************** *** 728,738 **** added_lib_dirs.append('/usr/X11/lib') # If Cygwin, then verify that X is installed before proceeding ! if platform == 'cygwin': ! x11_inc = find_file('X11/Xlib.h', [], inc_dirs) ! if x11_inc is None: # X header files missing, so give up ! return # Check for BLT extension if self.compiler.find_library_file(lib_dirs + added_lib_dirs, --- 728,738 ---- added_lib_dirs.append('/usr/X11/lib') # If Cygwin, then verify that X is installed before proceeding ! #if platform == 'cygwin': ! # x11_inc = find_file('X11/Xlib.h', [], inc_dirs) ! # if x11_inc is None: # X header files missing, so give up ! # return # Check for BLT extension if self.compiler.find_library_file(lib_dirs + added_lib_dirs, *************** *** 741,748 **** libs.append('BLT8.0') # Add the Tcl/Tk libraries ! libs.append('tk'+version) ! libs.append('tcl'+version) if platform in ['aix3', 'aix4']: libs.append('ld') --- 741,750 ---- libs.append('BLT8.0') # Add the Tcl/Tk libraries ! #libs.append('tk'+version) ! #libs.append('tcl'+version) ! libs.append("cygtk83") ! libs.append("cygtcl83") if platform in ['aix3', 'aix4']: libs.append('ld') By recompiling the python-2.2.2 with this "setup.py", you will get Tkinter-enabled python again; and besides you can use Input Method on the Tkinter to input your native language (such as Japanese) now. (It is the important advantage of using the recent Tcl/Tk, you know.) -- SUZUKI Hisao -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
