# Tcldide
⚠️ This project is in early development and is not yet stable. Expect breaking changes and missing features.
A WebAssembly build of Tcl/Tk 8.6 that runs real Tk programs in the browser.
Built on top of [Wacl](https://github.com/ecky-l/wacl); Tk's X11 calls are handled by the sibling project [em-x11](https://github.com/DevScholar/em-x11).
# Prerequisites
- Linux
- Emscripten (latest emsdk recommended; `emcc` must be on `PATH`)
- Node.js ≥ 20, pnpm ≥ 9
- make, autoconf, wget
- [em-x11](https://github.com/DevScholar/em-x11) cloned as a sibling directory and built (`pnpm install && pnpm build:native`)
# Quick start
```bash
pnpm install # downloads Tcl/Tk sources, builds static archives
pnpm build:native # compiles tcldide-runtime.wasm
pnpm dev # starts Vite dev server
```
`pnpm install` will detect whether em-x11 is present and built — if not, it prints instructions and exits.
# Build
```bash
pnpm build:native
```
# Run
```bash
pnpm dev
```
