Calling C functions from Tk script.

[Ab Ran]

Hi,

I have implemented some GUI using Tk script ( I will call it gui.tk).
I want to call some C functions inside this script. How do I do it ?
I don't want to re-implement the contents of gui.tk in some other
langauge.

Is there any place on web where I can get good intro to doing such
a thing ?

Thanx in advance,
Ab.

The C language does not define interfaces for any other language. There
may be a way, but it would be off-topic here.

The C language does not define any interface to any other language.
If your operating system, Tk implementation, and C compiler provide
such a feature, it is completely non-standard and specific to your OS,
Tk implementation, and C compiler.

You need to ask in a group that supports your particular OS, Tk
implementation, and/or C compiler, not here. It is not a C language
issue.

Tk with Tcl? Ask in comp.lang.tcl. For Perl...

The book "Practical Programming in TCL and TK" by Brent Welch and
Jeffrey Hobbs was what I used, and should tell you all you need to
know.

If you're using TCL/TK on Windows try looking at the help file - it
will give you just as much information for free.
