TclKit 8.4.7
TclKit is an environment to run Tcl scripts within a single executable file.
Read details on http://www.equi4.com/tclkit.html.
I just happened to want to compile TclKit with a newer version of Tcl, namely Tcl 8.4.7.
Linux
Windows (XP)
TclKit 8.4.7 Howto
If you don't trust me and want to do that yourself, here is how:
- Get the Tcl/Tk sources from http://tcl.sourceforge.net/
- Get TclKit sources from http://www.equi4.com/tclkit.html
- unpack the sources of Tcl and Tk
- apply all.diff to Tk
- rename the tcl-8.4.7 directory to tcl and tk-8.4.7 to tk
- tar and gz both directories as tcl.tar.gz and tk.tar.gz
- replace the tcl/tk tars in TclKit with your versions
- follow the instructions in the README of TclKit
For Windows (XP) this process is not as easy as described in the README:
- unpack the msvc6.tar.gz file
- create a directory src and unpack all other tars in there
- Open MS Visual Studio 6 with all.dsw
- compile the targets kit/Release and kitsh/Release
- use a real shell (like cygwin or msys) to append runtime.kit:
- cat kit.exe ../runtime.kit >tclkit.exe
- cat kitsh.exe ../runtime.kit >tclkit-sh.exe
If anybody finds out how to compile TclKit in Cygwin or msys/mingw please let me know. If anybody finds out how to create dsp/dsw files automatically: please let me also know.
