Loading shared libraries that are not TCL packages

watkipet — 2008-08-27T16:02:20

I've created a Starpack that loads the mysqltcl package. This works fine on one system that has libmysqlclient.so.15 (part of mysql client), but the systems I want deploy to use libmysqlclient.so.14 and my Starpack fails to run. I doubt that my organization will update mysql accross all the systems just to run my app. I know I can load shared libraries that are TCL packages with a starpack. Is it possible to include libmysqlclient.so. 15 (not a TCL package), with my Starpack? If so, how do I do it?

Any progress about writable starkits with kbskit?

Hello, I'd like to know, if "kbskit" might be able to replace "tclkit" for the purpose of writable starkits in the near future. Shin

Popups in tclkit's initScript

Goodwin — 2008-06-03T17:09:26

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" When a wrapped app starts up now the user is faced with these popups? Is this intentional or just some residual debug code? Thanks, Goodwin

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

lvirden — 2008-05-29T19:30:12

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 issues that I've been unsuccessful in resolving. kbskit doesn't work because it is missing pieces. I'm just trying to run a variety of starkits. Who would have thought starkits would be so hard to run?

FYI - Rigs are re-usable Tcl modules

Jean-Claude Wippler — 2008-05-24T22:55:20

FYI, I've posted a comment about a new way to create and share re- usable Tcl code on another mailing list, you can read it here if you're interested: http://groups.google.com/group/mavrig-dev/browse_thread/thread/797b5e7375220974 Didn't want to post it in full here since it's not tclkit/starkit- related. -jcw

Starpacker

anoved — 2008-03-27T03:37:20

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. http://anoved.net/2008/03/starpacker.html I think it has some VFS version problems with Windows Tclkits, but I haven't had an opportunity to work them out. (Any advice or information on that would be useful.) I use it on Mac OS X. Be well, Jim

loading oratcl from starkit

sergioanis — 2008-03-17T17:15:55

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 ] ] } } catch { file copy -force $dir/msvcr70.dll [ file join [ file dirname [ info nameofexecutable ]] msvcr70.dll ] } load $env(TEMP)/oratcl44.dll } This works fine in some computers (running windows 2000), but fail in anothers (windows 2000 and xp). The script fail when it try to load the oratcl44.dll, the error message doesn't say why. I tried adding the $env(TEMP)to the $env(PATH) without success. I'd appreciate any suggestions you may have. Thanks, Sergio

Windows ICONS 48x48

Harald Oehlmann — 2008-03-17T09:36:23

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: customizing tclkit.ico in executable icon 32x32/16: replaced icon 16x16/16: replaced icon 32x32/256: replaced icon 48x48/256: NOT FOUND icon 48x48/16: NOT FOUND icon 16x16/256: replaced while the starkits on Jean-Claudes page still worked. Now, Jean-Claude has updated the starkits on http://www.equi4.com/tclkit/download.html and they show the same phenomenon as Pat Thoyts builds. Has anybody the same phenomenon ? I have read, that the icons should be in a special order. I have extracted the icon from the starkit (so its own icons which should be correct) and I get the same error on 48x48 icons. I would not mind to get any ideas befor doing the hard way and manipulate the starkit directly with other tools. Thank you in advance, Harald

tclkit updates

Jean-Claude Wippler — 2008-03-11T15:06:21

FYI, I've added some new tclkit builds for 8.4.18 and 8.5.1 to www.equi4.com The tclkit download matrix has been updated: http://www.equi4.com/pub/tk/downloads.html A much simpler overview of the latest builds for the main platforms is at: http://www.equi4.com/tclkit/download.html This updated page is part of the new Tcl-driven website design. Two changes w.r.t. the Mac OS X builds: - the latest x86 (and universal) builds should now work on 10.4 again - I've signed the binaries to get past the Leopard firewall issue, as mentioned by Steve L & Mark R recently (if you have the setup to test this, could you post your findings here?) All builds are based on the /pub/tk/tars/ area, which has not changed. Enjoy, -jcw

Setting up to build tclkits using kitgen.

2008-03-04T02:17:44

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 then to build either tclkit-lite's or 'heavy' (mk4tcl+incr-tcl) tclkits. I build on windows using both msvc6 and msvc8 ( the latter for building for 64bit windows). So get kitgen: svn checkout svn://svn.equi4.com/kitgen/trunk kitgen Make some subdirs for the tcl versions you want to build for and to contain the tcl-version independent packages mkdir 8.4 8.5 8.x Note that you dont _have_ to call it 8.5. For instance I'm working with a patched tree from Miguel and its in a subdirectory called NRE which helps to isolate it from the normal Tcl builds. In each version folder you want to checkout tcl and tk. cd 8.4 cvs -d:pserver:anonymous< at >tcl.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tcl co -r core-8-4-branch tcl cvs -d:pserver:anonymous< at >tktoolkit.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ tktoolkit co -r core-8-4-branch tk cd ../8.5 cvs -d:pserver:anonymous< at >tcl.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tcl co tcl cvs -d:pserver:anonymous< at >tktoolkit.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ tktoolkit co tk In the version independent folder you want to get versions of tclvfs, thread, zlib and vqtcl. If you want to build old-style tclkits as well you need mk4tcl and incr-tcl. Some of these can be obtained as tar.gz files from http://www.equi4.com/pub/tk/tars/ but I prefer to use cvs checkouts cd 8.5 mkdir thread tclvfs zlib vqtcl itcl mk cvs -d:pserver:anonymous< at >tcl.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tcl co thread cvs -d:pserver:anonymous< at >tclvfs.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tclvfs co tclvfs cvs -d:pserver:anonymous< at >incrtcl.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/incrtcl co -d itcl incrTcl/itcl svn co svn://svn.equi4.com/metakit/trunk mk svn co svn://svn.equi4.com/vlerq/branches/v4/tcl vqtcl (for zlib get the tar.gz from equi4 and unpack in 8.x/zlib) Much of this is just as described in the README file in the kitgen sources but some of the repository locations may well have changed. Now you are ready to build. On unix or Windows with gcc and msys you can use the config.sh script to build a makefile with the right settings. For instance to build an 8.5 tclkit use sh config.sh 8.5/kit-medium thread cli gui This will create a 8.5/kit-medium/Makefile for you and you can then change to that directory and do the build by typing 'make'. Note that the subdirectory name is not special in any way. It could just as easily be 8.5/my-tclkit. The important part is that it will look for tcl and tk in the parent directory and all the other packages in ../../ 8.x/* All the build output will end up in a 'build' subdirectory that you can delete once you have the tclkit executables. To build using MSVC and nmake instead mkdir 8.5\win32-ix86 echo !include ..\..\Makefile.vc > 8.5\win32-ix86\Makefile You can then build tclkits using cd 8.5\win32-ix86 nmake VERSION=85 (or 8.4\win32-ix86 and nmake VERSION=84) This is known to be ok with msvc6 and msvc8 At the moment you may have to twiddle the versions files\tk8.* to match the version you are building. This is something I want to fix so that the pkgIndex created matches the Tk version compiled in without manual intervention. Pat Thoyts

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

lvirden — 2008-03-03T15:15:53

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? I looked at the equi4.com web page for tclkit, but I don't see a pointer to the sources any longer.

Building tclkit 8.5.1 on Windows

Mats — 2008-03-02T14:28:18

How to build tclkit on Windows XP using Tcl/Tk 8.5.1 ---------------------------------------------------- Or how a failed to do that... 1. Used genkit to get all sources (on mac). Replaced tcl85 and tk85 with released 8.5.1 sources. 2. Got http://www.equi4.com/pub/tk/tars/msvc6-85.tar.gz and imported it into VC++7. 3. Changed path to src/tcl/win/tclAppInit.c to src/tcl85/win/ tclAppInit.c 4. Changed path to src/tk/win/winMain.c to src/tk85/win/winMain.c 5. Removed src/tcl85/compat/strtoll.c and strtoull.c from project. 6. Added inline=__inline to the defines, both Debug & Release 7. Added ws2_32.lib to Additional Dependencies, both Debug & Release 8. Built Release target, moved to unix (mac), cat kit.exe runtime85.kit > tclkit.exe But something goes really wrong with the initializations. When I double click tclkit.exe it can't find init.tcl. It says: "Can't find init.tcl when searching in: .../My Documents/C/tclkits85/lib/tcl8.5/ when it should be something like: .../My Documents/C/tclkits85/msvc7-85/tclkit.exe/(...?)/lib/tcl8.5/ I have put the complete VC++7 projects here: http://coccinella.sourceforge.net/tclkits/msvc7-85.zip with tclkit.exe included. Anyone? Mats

missing sources at equi4.com

Rene Zaumseil — 2008-02-28T19:54:52

Hi, I use in my kbskit project at sourceforge.net/projects/kbskit the following files from www.equi4.com: www.equi4.com/pub/sk/sdx.kit www.equi4.com/pub/tk/tars/vfs.tar.gz www.equi4.com/pub/tk/tars/vqtcl.tgz www.equi4.com/pub/tk/tars/zlib.tar.gz Now the vqtcl.tgz file is missing. Is there a chance to get it back on the above position. Should a save a copy under sourceforge? Also what about the future direction of the development on the vlerq side. I really like to have only simple C and not C++ dependencies. Thanks for your attention. rene

Bug in current runtime.kit

2008-02-28T21:22:38

Hello, The runtime kits for 8.4.18 and 8.5.1 (as found on http://www.equi4.com/pub/tk/tars/) 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: Unwrap runtime.kit (analogous for runtime85.kit): tclkit sdx.kit unwrap runtime.kit Edit runtime.vfs/lib/tk8.4/pkgIndex.tcl: Change second line: package ifneeded Tk 8.4 [list load [file join $dir .. libtk8.4.dylib] Tk] To: package ifneeded Tk 8.4 [list load [file join $dir libtk8.4[info sharedlibextension]] Tk] Wrap the Kit again: tclkit sdx.kit wrap runtime.kit Now the generated TclKit is able to correctly "package require Tk" on non-Mac platforms.

Starsync server on Windows Tomcat server

starkitNewbie — 2008-02-12T12:07:58

Does anyone have a recipe to setup a starsync server on a windows machine? I have a Appache Tomcat CGI server running that I want to setup to work as a starsync server. However, all the instructions on the equi4 web site refer to Linux setups. http://www.equi4.com/wikis/equi4/264 I would appreciate it if someone could help.
