A Starpack is a special version of a Starkit, which combines a Starkit with a TclKit runtime into a single file. See single-file starpacks.
Assembling a starpack is simple:
- first, follow the instructions in how to assemble a starkit, just to get the basics down
- then, get the proper version of TclKit from [1] - we'll use tclkit-win32.upx.exe in this example
- lastly, run SDX again, with the -runtime option:
sdx wrap hello.exe -runtime tclkit-win32.upx.exe
- you will end up with an executable, built from the files in hello.vfs/
- the output was specified as "hello.exe" in this example, since it's a Win32 executable
There is one caveat: do not specify the same tclkit file as the one which is used to run sdx (create a copy, this is a temporary restriction).
As you can see in the above example, starpacks for any platform can be built on any platform.
