For those who are interested - I've been working on a new way to build Tclkit Lite. The result is a tool called "kitgen". There's even some documentation for it: http://www.equi4.com/kitgen.html Key differences with the normal "genkit" approach: - support for both 8.4 and 8.5 builds, threaded and non-threaded - optionally include all encodings and/or msgs/tzdata (8.5) - can build 3 variants: cmd-line, tk in vfs, and tk linked-in statically - no Metakit included, hence no dependency on C++ - no writable starkit support (but latest sdx can wrap starkits with this) - uses a new "vlerq" extensions (unreleased, version 4, from CVS) - incrtcl no longer included (could be added manually as dynamic lib) - only tested on Mac OS X and (a bit) on Linux so far This relies on a newer version of vlerq than was demo'd at the conference. It's all very lightweight (read: maintainable). I don't have access to a mingw build setup right now, but I hope that kitgen can be tweaked to work there as well. Enjoy, -jcw
