Back to Installing Odie

ODIE requires all of the prerequisites to build Tcl/Tk. For details see How to compile Tcl.

While I would like to completely automate the process, at this point it's easier to explain the steps and have you follow along. The goal is to install ODIE to it's own directory from which all applications and packages can refer to it.

cd ~/odie/sandbox
./configure --prefix=$HOME/odie
make install

This will download, build, and install Tcl, Tk, sqlite, tcllib, tklib to your ~/odie directory.

For server environments where sharing ODIE between multiple users is desired, we recommend a dedicated file system: /opt/odie. This ensures odie can peacefully coexist with your native operating system's Tcl/Tk, as well as other binary distributions of tcl/tk such as ActiveTcl. (Which writes to /usr/local)

cd /opt/odie
cd /opt/odie/sandbox/odie
./configure --prefix=/opt/odie
make install
