The Quill configuration file contains parameters used to configure Quill
for the user's development environment. The default settings should be
appropriate for most users.
The Quill configuration file is located in the user's home directory at
"~/.quill/quill.config". NOTE: at some point, quill.config
might move to a more appropriate location on Windows systems.
It is possible to edit the Quill configuration file by hand, in a text
file; see Syntax, below. It is more typical to use
the quill config tool; see
$ quill help config
for details.
The configuration file is a parmset(n) file, and so its syntax is
very simple. It consists of a sequence of zero or more parm commands:
parm name value
where name is the name of a configuration parameter, and value
is the value.
When changes are made using the quill config tool, only parameters
with non-default values are saved.
Note that Quill ignores any errors in this file.
The following statements may appear in quill.config.
- helper.*
-
The helper.* parameters tell Quill where to find certain helper
applications. Quill can usually find them on its own, but this allows
for unusual environments or for use of multiple versions of Tcl on one
machine.
- helper.tclsh
-
The full path to the default Tcl shell application. If unset (the default),
Quill will look for tclsh on the PATH. Development cannot proceed
until tclsh is identified one way or another.
- helper.teacup
-
The full path to the ActiveTcl teacup application. If unset
(the default), Quill will look for teacup on the PATH. If the
teacup is not identified, Quill will not be able to acquire and
manage external dependencies.
- helper.tkcon
-
The full path to the TKcon console application. If unset
(the default), Quill will look for tkcon on the PATH. If the
TKcon application is not identified, Quill will not be able to support
the quill shell tool.
- helper.tclapp
-
The full path to the TclDevKit tclapp application. If unset
(the default), Quill will look for tclapp on the PATH. If the
tclapp application is not identified, Quill will not be able to
build applications for installation and deployment. Note: I
hope to relax this constraint in the future.
- helper.basekit.tcl
-
The full path to the ActiveTcl console-mode "basekit", a stub Tcl shell
used when building standalone console applications. If unset
(the default), Quill will look for the basekit in a manner appropriate
for the platform. If the basekit is not identified, Quill will not be
able to build non-GUI console applications as standalone executables.
- helper.basekit.tk
-
The full path to the ActiveTcl GUI-mode "basekit", a stub Tcl/Tk shell
used when building standalone GUI applications. If unset
(the default), Quill will look for the basekit in a manner appropriate
for the platform. If the basekit is not identified, Quill will not be
able to build GUI applications as standalone executables.
