Hi,

does someone know, where to get a most current tclkit/tclkitsh executable for Windows (with tcl 8.6b3)?

I know there is kitgen, etc., but ... in the past I spent too much time in trying to build on my own instead of simply using.

Best regards,

Martin

I always used:
http://www.patthoyts.tk/tclkit/win32-ix86/
but there is neither 8.5.12, nor 8.6b13...
I just got used to it and used the ucp packed ones, compared to Renes
Starpacks.
I have also tried cookfs but without success.

Sorry,
Harald

You could try one from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/kbskit/files/kbs/0.4.3/

Thank you René, for the constant work.

Bwidget may be updated to 1.9.6 in the BI distribution, only very
minor bug-fixes, not important.

I have some questions about the difference between *-dyn and *-gui:
- what is the reason for the relative huge size difference?
- WindowsNT_kbsvq8.5-dyn.exe: 3.4MB
- WindowsNT_kbsvq8.5-gui.exe: 4.2MB
- is it possible to show the windows console also with the *-dyn
package?
- (Why) is tdbc not included in bi, even if it is now a "bundled core
package" ?

Thank you,
Harald

I will do it in the next version. May be final 8.6 will come this year.

I have no idea. When I have time I will investigate.

Just a guess (not tried myself):
console show

It is included. I just checked it. Did you try:
package req tdbc

PS. You are now the maintainer of msgcat?
Could you also consider the C-side of it.
Sometime ago I created http://wiki.tcl.tk/28073
Here I poke inside msgcat to get translated values.
Personally I find the former array variable storage
easier to use (at least from the C-side).

No, I tried that too...

O.k. I looked to the list on the download page and it was not
included...

No answer on my request about that.
But I am currently the guy careing in a certain sense...

Thank you for the request. It is on my radar.
Donald Porter proposed to completely get msgcat unconnected to the
core and leave it as tcl-only extension.
Your request would speak against that idea.

Thank you,
Harald
