Popups in tclkit's initScript

goodwin.law...@gmail.com (Goodwin) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 17:09:26 UT

Hi,

I've recently built tclkit based on the svn tclkit module.

There is some coded added into kitInit.c's initScript string:

"tk_messageBox -message \"main found here: [file join [info
nameofexe] main.tcl]\"\n"
"tk_messageBox -message \"file isfile: [file isfile [file join
[info nameofexe] main.tcl]]\"\n"

ISO: full (original style) tclkit 8.5.x for sparc solaris 2.8?

lvir...@gmail.com (lvirden) — Thu, 29 May 2008 19:30:12 UT

I am wondering whether anyone knows of an original style tclkit 8.5.x
(that is, containing metakit, itcl, etc.) built for SPARC Solaris 8?

The tclkit on equi4 is, I suspect, built against solaris 10, and so
needs libraries I don't have available.

I've not been able to build tclkit for some time, due to a variety of

you're interested:

Starpacker

jim.dev...@gmail.com (anoved) — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 03:37:20 UT

I made a little utility based on SDX for making Starpacks. I wrote it
mostly for practice and for my own convenience, but perhaps it will be
useful for others.

I think it has some VFS version problems with Windows Tclkits, but I

[starkit] loading oratcl from starkit

an...@wyeth.com (sergioanis) — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 17:15:55 UT

hi everybody:
I'm having some problems loading oratcl from a starkit. I found a post from
G. Lester adviced to use the following script in the package index:
package ifneeded Oratcl 4.4 [ list OraLoad $dir ]
proc OraLoad { dir } {
global env
foreach file [ glob $dir/*.dll ] {
catch { file copy -force $file [ file join $env(TEMP) [ file tail $file ]

Hello Group,
since years I use the starkit windows icon replacement with sdx.
I noticed that the starpacks from Pat Thoyts did not replace the 48x48
icons:

icon 32x32/16: replaced
icon 16x16/16: replaced

Setting up to build tclkits using kitgen.

Given a couple of recent posts I thought I should describe how I have
setup my build tree to build tclkits for windows and solaris 10 using
kitgen. At the present time it requires a little manual setup as the
automatic stuff is out-of-date but it is possible to create a tree
containing CVS or SVN checkouts of the various necessary projects and

Are the sources for building the original tclkit interpreter still available online?

lvir...@gmail.com (lvirden) — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 15:15:53 UT

I am looking at the wubwiki starkit. It requires Tcl 8.5 and Itcl.
This means that kbs and tclkit-lite are not going to be able to be
used with it. So I have to try, once again, to see if I can convince
tclkit to build on sparc solaris.

Where can I find the source for building the original style tclkit?

Rene,
Whoops, that was not intentional. I had removed it because Vlerq is
not used in the "genkit" build, i.e. in Tclkit "classic". I've
restored the symlink to /pub/vq/vqtcl.tgz now.
Vlerq is a research project (which is another way of saying that
timelines are, ehm, "fluid"). Having said that, I'm continuing to

Bug in current runtime.kit

oberme...@tcl3d.org (Obermeier@Tcl3D) — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 21:22:38 UT

Hello,
The runtime kits for 8.4.18 and 8.5.1 (as found on
[link]) have an error in Tk's pkgIndex.tcl file.
The package tries to load a "dylib" i.e. a Mac dynamic library.
The following fixes the problem:
