smalltalk-3.2.91/packages/blox/tk/BloxTK.c Anyone here use the Blox -based class browser instead of the Gtk -based browser?
I use an AMD64 PC with Debian bullseye from Raspberry Pi. (I have been using PrtHier.st as a Textual User Interface class hierarchy “browser”. Led me to consider an NCurses -based browser as an alternative.) Recently, I installed Tcl/Tk 8.6 to test whether Gnu Smalltalk’s Blox (8.4.0) Graphical User Interface works (I haven’t tested it yet). First, I wanted to see what a Tk app looks like, so I installed TkDesk package via Debian as an example. Very impressive workspace environment, and from 2004. Plus there is a Tk canvas widget package via Debian that renders to OpenGL (I haven’t tested it yet). Tcl/Tk 9.0 beta is actively developing. Using this stable GUI toolkit as the primary target instead of updating Gtk from 2 to 4 might be the way forward. — John
