http://www.hwaci.com/sw/tkhtml/ is the home page for one of the Tk HTML widgets that renders HTML into formatted text with hyperlinks. It is a compiled extension.

Kitten, a compilation of extensions for the TclKit user, includes compiled versions of tkhtml for Linux, Solaris, and Windows.

ActiveTcl 8.3.4.1 includes compiled versions of tkhtml 2.0 [L1 ].


TkHTML is one of the numerous packages in the Tcl community which has its own pecular build requirements. Be certain to read carefully the COMPILE.txt instructions - and take their instructions literally ! You do NOT just do a compile; make ; make install on this package!

  1. You have to build in a directory OTHER than in the source directory.
  2. You have to be in that directory, and then invoke the source directory's configure
  3. You MUST specify the --with-tcl and --with-tk flags, pointing to the source tree
