overview

Tclkit is a tool for building applications in Tcl/Tk and then deploying them in a simple, robust, and fully self-contained manner. It is the runtime for a growing number of applications, by a growing number of Tcl/Tk developers.

• Need Tcl/Tk on your machine? Tclkit is the fastest and easiest way to get it there. There is no installation involved.
• Someone sent you an application as a 'starkit'? Tclkit is all you'll need to run it (also see the Starkit archive for a growing number of other applications)
• Need to test or deploy on several platforms? The same scripts or Starkit will run exactly the same under the Tclkit specific to each platform.
• Need to completely 'wrap' your application? You can easily bundle a platform-specific Tclkit with your generic Starkit to create a single platform-specific binary of your application... even create binaries for dozens of platforms from a single machine.

For a good read about how deployment works out with Tclkit and Starkits, see Mark Roseman's Creating Easy-to-Deploy Unix Applications for OS X article.
