Title: TDBC install.tcl requires tk, should be optional
Status: Closed Type: Feature_Request
Severity: Minor Priority: Immediate
Subsystem: not_specified Resolution: Not_A_Bug
Last Modified: 2017-12-12 19:36:55
Version Found In: 1.0b13
Description:
The INSTALL.tcl file requires Tk for two messages.

I'd suggest if Tk is not found the messages are displayed to stdout via puts.

Not all tdbc users will be using Tk.

Currently, tk is only required to build tdbc::mysql

I can't find a history of install.tcl anywhere in TDBC or in any TDBC drivers.
Tk doesn't seem to be a requirement for TDBC or any TDBC driver.
I think this can be closed as 'not a bug'.

install.tcl was an artifact from before TDBC was promoted to the Tcl core, to allow early adopters to install a Windows binary distribution in an existing Tcl installation. This distribution mode is no longer supported, and install.tcl is not a current installation method.
