i still wonder if there is a way to wrap some xotcl files into the exe so i dont have to rely on having the whole xotcl install on the users machine . since i am using just the very basic features of xotcl right now it seems that i wouldnt need all of those files.
i have some documentation now with freewrap that explains this process i'm wondering about and i might be able to get it to work but dont know
what xotcl files need to get wrapped.
Hi, While I cant speak for freewrap, (its been years..), I think that the whole point of "wrapping" is to avoid relying on having xotcl installed on the users machine. Maybe I am missing something... But anyway, I can speak for tclkit and starkits, maybe you could grab the XotclIde starkit/pack and "unwrap it" and see whats is going on.. For sure, as a minimum, you would need to include the the xotcl dll, ~ 120Kbytes. If you are using some of the xotcl library procs, eg comm, then you would add those as well... Let me know if you some quick instructions on getting starkits up and running... regards, nicolas boretos
Hi Nicolas-
thanks for the tip. it seems to be working. I deleted the xotcl directories off my system to test it. I have one directory set up called c:/elevatorApp that contains 3 files... pkgIndex.tcl libxotcl1.1.dll and elevator6.tcl .... and of course the elevator6.exe file.
seems to be all the files I need. now after I error trap I can distribute my first small gui xotcl/tcl app on my website.
thanks, marvin
