tcl interpreter for android scripting

[rildo]

Does anyone have instructions on how to build tcl 8.5 with a cross
compiler toolchain for android (arm processor)?

There is a nice android scripting project (see http://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/)
with several scriping languages, such as python, ruby,lua, javascript,
which once supported Tcl, but no more, as the author of the Tcl
interpreter have not updated the build for the newer releases (of
android scripting). Also, the sources are not available, so anyone who
want to rebuild it must go from scratch...

BTW, Android is a fast growing environment for smartphones. Most
applications are written in Java, but it would be nice to have Tcl
available.

Albeit Tcl 8.4.

I set up a kitgen tree as described at tclkit.googlecode.com/ and use
the agcc-ndk script as the compiler. The Makefile there is setup
right. That script arranges for the NDK compiler to cross-build things
for android-arm (otherwise you need to build android and use the
toolchain from that). The sources are just tclkit sources - see
http://github.com/patthoyts/kitgen (or read the tclkit build
instructions at googlecode).

The only files that might be missing from the website are the android
package for interfacing with the ASE JSON interface. I had the tcllib
json package and an android package built into the tclkit. So grab the
tclkit, unpack it with sdx and pull them from that.

You might have a look at Hecl, too: http://www.hecl.org - it's not
100% complete for Android, but it does run there.
