Ruby-talk subscribers,
I believe I already know the answer to this question however I want to
be certain. Is it possible to compile and install ruby without tcl/tk
support?
My guess is there was considerable effort put into ruby supporting
tcl/tk and the thought is everyone will naturally want it included in
ruby.
Thank you,
Glen
I figure there is a way to install ruby without Tcl/Tk. I personally
use FxRuby as a front end, but also have a few scripts that don’t have
any front end as they only pull something in and put out a file, no real
need for a front end.
What platform are you on ? Generally, you can disable specific
packages at the time you run the ./configure script.
In that case:
./configure --disable-tk
make
make install

I just tried ./configure --disable-tk and the configure script finishes
up with:
config.status: creating Makefile
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-tk
I was under the same impression and yesterday I tried --disable-tk,
–disable-tcl, --without-tk, and --without-tcl. All with no success.
I also spoke with a friend that told me tcl/tk support was also in
Ruby 1.8. I thought Tcl/Tk was added in 1.9. Which answers my
question.
No, you can’t have Ruby without Tcl/Tk support.

./configure --without-tk --without-tcl
That works for Ruby 1.8, 1.9 doesn’t recognize these options and the
extension still looks for Tcl and Tk.
Ruby 1.9.3-p194, I successfully used
–with-out-ext=tcl --with-out-ext=tk
