Tcl/Tk is generally present on linux. On OSX it comes with
the operating system. It is all there. The interfaces
library
also does not impose any more dependencies.

FLTK is probably the most problematic of the installing
issues.

Unfortunately not always with the same paths, version numbers,
and file names (for example, -ltcl -ltk does not work for me,
I have to replace it with -ltcl8.4 -ltk8.4, but then that would
not work on other people's machines). Also, a major problem is
correctly integrating extension modules with external software
(PD, Python, Java, etc.) of unknown version and installation
directory; of course, this problem does not exist if you are
fine with just dumping these files in a random directory and
having the user figure out how to actually use it.

It depends on what languages are included. For example, I do not
have Java, and even if I would, based on posts to the list, it
seems to be much more problematic than Python.
