Installing (Windows)

1. Install Dependencies

All dependencies must use their 32-bit (x86) installers

• MS Visual C++ Build Tools
• ActiveState Tcl
• Python
  • Be sure to customize the installation and check: "Add Python to environment variables"

2: Edit Paths

Make sure paths to all installations are correct in your environment.

In start_msvc_shell.bat, edit variables:

• vcbuildtools
  • Path to the vcbuildtools.bat script located in the MS Visual C++ Build Tools installation

In Makefile, edit variables:

• TCL_PATH
  • Path to root of Tcl installation
• PYTHON3_PATH
  • Path to root of Python 3.x.x installation
• INSTALL_DIR
  • Destination of the tclpython Tcl package
  • Either pick one that looks right from the output of the following Tcl command: foreach p $auto_path {puts $p}
  • ... or create a new location, and add it to the TCLLIBPATH environment variable.

3. Compile

Double-click start_msvc_shell.bat to open the compiler command shell.

nmake
nmake test
nmake install
