OSX Install.

[a2800276]

This is not really an issue, I wanted to share my experience trying to get the editor to run on OSX. Ultimately, I failed. Sorry for posting this here, I wasn't sure where else to go. In no particular order, the issues I encountered:

• no obvious place/forum/mailinglist to ask questions, make comments ...
• development and download seems split b/t here and sourceforge. Ideally migrate here entirely sourceforge is feeling more and more sketchy these days -> Move Downloads to Github
• the install is everything but "batteries included", I tried first to install tcl/tk via macports but that led to a rat's nest of dependencies -> for OSX, perhaps it's possible to package an app bundle including a tcl interpreter (i.e. http://wiki.tcl.tk/12945)
• I ultimately decided to use the ActiveState tcl distro as suggested
• .. which unfortunately does not include Img
• how to install Img is more or less undocumented and not obvious to users unfamiliar with it ->(include Img in the download if allowed by license...)
• after installing Img, calling drakon_editor.tcl crashed with 'Segmentation Fault'

Drakkon looks very nice, I'd like to work with it, but after all that I'm afraid I lost interest... Let me know if you need any more details.

Same here! I can believe that for such a great product/concept no one even care to organise the setup process and help new user install Drakon Editor. I've lost interest too

Just in case, the following did work for me: macOS Sierra 10.12.6 macports, sudo port install tcl

The following fails:

tclsh8.6 drakon_editor.tcl
can't find package Img
This script requires Img package.
Consider installing libtk-img.

In order to install libtk-img, perform the following:

1. cd drakon_editor1.27
2. git clone https://github.com/waddella/tkimg.git (you can download that project from GitHub via zip archive as well)
3. TCLLIBPATH=tkimg/inst/Img-Darwin64 tclsh8.6 drakon_editor.tcl <-- this does the trick. It adds the library to tcl path and gets drakon running

Hi Vladimir,

I wanted to send you this email to say a big Thank YOU. Drakon is now working on my mac. You took the time to reply and this shows you are genuinely kind and respectful of people.

I live in France so When you visit Paris area, please please please feel free to stop by. There is good wine , nice food and you can stay

Thanks a million sir

I face a strange behaviour on a Mac (High Serra), where right-click in Dragon works only after once again shortly focusing the terminal window, that launched ./drakon_editor.tcl.

Any ideas what I could do about that?
