On the boost document page it has entry of the library: C++/Tcl - C++/Tcl is a library that allows the easy integration of C++ and Tcl.
I you're talking about the wiki page that lists software that uses Boost. The software listed there is not supported by Boost.org. It's just software that happens to use Boost. So you're asking at the wrong place.
If I follow the link of the library, it will direct me to: http://cpptcl.sourceforge.net/ And I can download source code of the library. But one problem I found was that there is a header file "tcl.h", included as header by the source code,
Well, obviously a library that offers TCL/C++ integration needs C++ and TCL. You apparently don't have Tcl or just a runtime of Tcl.
and it was missing. So I suppose this C++/Tcl library requires TCL pkg from third party, e.g. ActiveState. But the pkg from ActiveState is not free. I
What makes you think Tcl was not free? Googling for Tcl brings you to www.tcl.tk. That page contains a link named "Get Tcl/Tk now". Following that link, you get to a page containing links to downloads of various versions of Tcl, including instructions how to use the sources on various operating systems, including Windows. Look at http://www.tcl.tk/doc/howto/compile.html At http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/license.html you can see the License for Tcl, which looks like BSD license to me. That means you don't have to pay for Tcl. HTH, m

Martin, Thank you for the reply. The message was really helpful.
