## SECTION=bytecode_engines menuconfig TCL tristate prompt "tcl " select LIBC_M select LIBC_DL select LIBC_PTHREAD select GCCLIBS_GCC_S help From the FAQ (refer http://tcl.sourceforge.net/faqs/): Tcl and Tk originated with Dr. John Ousterhout while teaching at the University of California, Berkeley, California. [...] Dr. Ousterhout got the idea for Tcl while on sabbatical leave at DEC's Western Research Laboratory in the fall of 1987. He started actually implementing it when he got back to Berkeley in the spring of 1988; by summer of that year it was in use in some internal applications, but there was no Tk. The first external releases of Tcl were in 1989. Tk implemention began in 1989, and the first release of Tk was in 1991. [...] The current implementation uses a byte code interpreter and runtime compilation. Note: To install this package you must have a working TCL on your host (only required for the install stage). if TCL config TCL_THREADS bool prompt "enable thread support" help Build the TCL engine with thread support.
