I need tclkits with a manifest for requestedExecutionLevel=="requireAdministrator", so I downloaded kitgen, and the source code for tcl 8.5.11 and 8.6.b2. I'm compiling with VS2005, which chokes on a warning embedding the manifest, but I got around that, and it looks like everything compiles correctly. If I build a starkit with either of these binaries, and use it to copy a file to the computer, the file has no 'modified date' in Explorer. In file properties, all the files show a modified date of 1/1/1970 (Windows Epoch) leading me to presume that the actual value is null. If I do a local copy (from the file system to the file system) all of the dates populate properly. It's only when I copy one out of the starkit onto the file system. I've looked at the googlecode-starkit pages, and don't see anything relevant (closest: metakit gets confused with embedded certificates), nor do I find anything at the tcl wiki.

The computer that it will be used on won't have Tcl installed on it, but of course, Tcl will be in the starpack. What I want to do is, from a tcl script within the starpack, kick off another tcl process, using the tcl interpreter contained within the starpack. If I could do something like [open "|internal_tclkit external.tcl" r +], that would be great, where internal_tclkit is the tclkit contained within the starpack, and external.tcl is a tcl script that resides outside the starpack. Is something like this possible? Thanks, Paul. (Actually, I would prefer to be able to kick off another process using the internal tclkit and also an internal tcl script, but I've already found out that's not posiible.) </pre> Paul 2011-07-18T18:17:49 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.tcl.starkit/3205 <pre>I hit a snag when trying to compile on a Linux (32bit) host a Windows 64bit library version of sha256 from tcllib with critcl: I have downloaded from the ming64 download site the version for a Linux host, set the PATH for critcl: export PATH=/home/dia/mingw64/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/:$PATH and started compiling: $ tclkit critcl.kit -lib sha256c.tcl Cross compiling for Windows using Xmingwin Source: sha256c.tcl Fri Jul 01 09:51:42 +0200 2011 - /home/dia/Projekte/gorilla/sha256c.tcl gcc -r -nostdlib -DUSE_TCL_STUBS -I/home/dia/.critcl/Windows-x86 -DTCL_BYTE_ORDER=1234 -o /home/dia/.critcl/Windows-x86/v035_7bf64913e94cd555e881b5a952aaab81_pic.o /home/dia/.critcl/Windows-x86/v035_7bf64913e94cd555e881b5a952aaab81.c /home/dia/Projekte/gorilla/sha256.c In file included from /home/dia/.critcl/Windows-x86/v035_7bf64913e94cd555e881b5a952aaab81.c:5:0: /home/dia/.critcl/Windows-x86/tcl.h:162:22: fatal error: stdio.h: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden compilation terminated. /home/dia/Projekte/gorilla/sha</pre> Zbigniew Diaczyszyn 2011-07-01T13:46:56 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.tcl.starkit/3200 <pre>[[ Important Changes: The Conference Registration Page is live.

If I use : sprintf(interp-&gt;result,"%s",Message) ; with Message containing my character chain, it works. But Message can not be more than 200 characters long (TCL_RESULT_SIZE limit). Normally the solution is to use Tcl_SetResult (and it will be the only one with tcl 8.6 I think ! even for short strings) : Tcl_SetResult(interp,Message,TCL_VOLATILE); Like that, it works on Linux, it works too on Windows if my tcl code calls directly my compiled C code inside a dll. But it does not work if my dll is included in a kit (though the 1st solution with sprintf is OK, except when my Message is too long of course). I use tclkit and tclkitsh 8.5.9 on Windows XP and my compiler is gcc (TDM 4.5.2 version on Windows). I have tried others solutions like : Tcl_SetVar(interp,"v1_out",Message,TCL_GLOBAL_ONLY); or : Tcl_Obj * ResultObj ; ResultObj = Tcl_NewStringObj(Message,-1); Tcl_SetObjResult(interp,ResultObj); It's always OK when my tcl code calls directly th</pre> Gerard Durand 2011-04-12T14:18:10 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.tcl.starkit/3185 <pre>18th Annual Tcl/Tk Conference (Tcl'2011) http://www.tcl.tk/community/tcl2011/ October 24 - 28, 2011 Comfort Suites Manassas Manassas, Virgina, USA Important Dates: Abstracts and proposals due August 26, 2011 Notification to authors September 12, 2011 WIP and BOF reservations open August 1, 2011 Author materials due October 9, 2011 Tutorials Start October 24, 2011 Conference starts October 26, 2011 Email Contact: tclconference&lt; at &gt;googlegroups.com Submission of Summaries Tcl/Tk 2011 will be held in Manassas, Virgina, USA from October 24 - 28, 2011.

The kit is snodbc.kit but I think it is a problem that may occur with other packages too because of the startup logic in main.tcl. This file looks like below: if {[starkit::startup]eq"sourced"} { if {[package vsatisfies [package provide Tcl] 8.5 ]} { starkit::autoextend [file join $::starkit::topdir lib8.5plus] } else { starkit::autoextend [file join $::starkit::topdir lib8.4] } starkit::autoextend [file join $::starkit::topdir lib [starkit::platform] ] starkit::autoextend [file join $::starkit::topdir lib] } else { source [file join $::starkit::topdir help help.tcl] } When I source the kit directly, e.g. in a tkcon console, everything works as expected.

Looking at the file descriptors, I noticed the file descriptors for working images are named 'rechan???', while file descriptors for non-working images are cnamed 'mk???'. This difference comes from the way files are opened in vfs::mk4::open. Working images have a different 'size' and 'csize', non working have the same size and csize. Forcing vfs::mk4::open to always use the 'mk4vfs::direct' path, copying the file content to memory, solves this issue, and all images are served to the client. But this hack surely isn't addressing the root cause of this issue. Any ideas how to solve this issue?

Will I be able to access the starkit API from within dwexpress.exe to run something such as: package require starkit starkit::wrap userapp.exe -runtime ./tclkit-gui If so, what would be required?

I ask because I am able to use the Tcl-based browser hv3 just fine to render an html page that uses the script tag and src attribute to utilize a Javascript file that is around 70k in size. That is, until I wrap hv3 as a starkit, and then the page won't render. But when I break that Javascript file into 3 files, then the browser is able to render the page just fine, depending on the size of the files. Below are the 3 files that hv3 wrapped in a starkit can handle: -rwx------ 1 George None 27693 Jul 22 16:17 jsPgnViewer_converter.js -rwx------ 1 George None 30284 Jul 22 07:04 jsPgnViewer_rest.js -rwx------ 1 George None 9311 Jul 22 16:17 jsPgnViewer_thruFuncStripItBroken.js If I re-arrange the contents of those files though, hv3 in the context of a starkit sometimes fails.
