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,
