Hi Franz,
The packages were built on ubuntu and tested on mint - both the latest version. The deb package seemed the easiest way to package the file. I'm unsure why the tcl-dev package isn't available. I'll check if the non-dev package is sufficient - I suspect it would be.
The scripts to create the Deb package aren't on Github. I'll look at adding them this weekend. The build files for windows and linux are the same so it is (in theory) possible to build the linux executables from the files on Github.
Finally - the deb packages do not include support for eclipse. This is a work in progress and I may be able to do something to finish this, this weekend if I have time. I have it working on my test machine but I hove no idea what is the best way to package the required files for linux (in windows they are included in the .msi install). It will probably be a separate eclipse plugin.
bye
