[Insight-developers] Wrapping - WrapITK

[Alexandre GOUAILLARD]

hi david,

long time since beijing.

thanks for the offer.

It looks like the tcl wrapping (new wrapitk merged into the v4 branch)
is operational, at least under linux. It fails under mac, but I kind
of remember that tcl shipped with mac is not working by default, so I
guess I need to put a little bit more energy in getting a cleaner
version of tcl, recompiling it, and trying again.

regards,

alex.

I gave Gaetan some code a very long time ago (years) which he may have used in early versions of wrapITK for TCL.  I might be able to look at it again.  Otherwise, TCL can quietly be put to pasture.
