I am trying to figure out the basic steps to creating a Tcl starkit in Windows. I've asked a similar question before, as well as purchased a book on Tcl programming, visited wiki.tcl.tk, emailed Tcl programmers directly, etc... In all, I've received great feed back from my resources and this website; however, I've failed to explain that I am a complete novice when it comes to building batch files, using a command console, and creating directories.
I really need someone to basically spell things out for me, because I cannot seem to interpret what anyone is trying to tell me. I think Visual Studio and .NET has made me stupid :)
Currently, I have downloaded tclkit, tclkitsh, and sdx.kit, as well as created a simple program (Test_App.tcl). So far, I know I have to run sdx through the console (tclkitsh) by creating a batch file (sdx.bat), create a vfs directory, and then use sdx wrap. I am completely oblivious on how to do these simple steps.
This seems like too much to ask, but if someone could translate creating a starkit in uber novice terms I would be incredibly grateful. I was hoping something like: In tclkitsh console, type the following...; in tclkit.exe, type the following...; now you should have...; and on.
Thank you,
DFM
Step 1: make a working directory. Open up a windows command prompt. This is probably under the start menu, "Accessories", "Command Prompt".Type the command "mkdir temp", then cd to this directory with "cd temp":
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>mkdir temp
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner>cd temp
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\temp>
Make a note of where this directory is. It should tell you right on the prompt.
Step 2: Download the necessary files. You need three things, a base kit that inclues Tk (which will become part of the wrapped application), sdx.kit (a tclkit that has the commands that do the wrapping) and the command line version of tclkit (from which sdx.kit will be run).
Download the three files and put them in the temporary directory that you created. Strictly speaking this isn't necessary, but it makes this tutorial easier. Rename the command line tclkit, also to make this tutorial easier:
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\temp>dir
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is F434-9FD3
Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\temp
09/05/2009 04:32 PM <DIR> .
09/05/2009 04:32 PM <DIR> ..
09/05/2009 04:21 PM 105,528 sdx.kit
09/05/2009 04:31 PM 1,268,686 tclkit-win32.upx.exe
09/05/2009 04:27 PM 668,142 tclkitsh-win32.upx.exe
3 File(s) 2,042,356 bytes
2 Dir(s) 13,232,046,080 bytes free
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\temp>rename tclkitsh-win32.upx.exe tclkit.exe
Step 3: verify that everything is working. Run sdx.kit with no other arguments. It should print out a little bit of help information:
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\temp>tclkit sdx.kit
Specify one of the following commands:
addtoc eval fetch ftpd httpd httpdist ls lsk
md5sum mkinfo mkpack mkshow mksplit qwrap ratarx rexecd
starsync sync tgz2kit treetime unwrap update version wrap
For more information, type: sdx.kit help ?command?
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\temp>
Step 4: create a directory for your code. sdx assumes that for an application named "myapp" that there exists a directory named "myapp.vfs":
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\temp>mkdir myapp.vfs
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\temp>dir
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is F434-9FD3
Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\temp
09/05/2009 04:37 PM <DIR> .
09/05/2009 04:37 PM <DIR> ..
09/05/2009 04:37 PM <DIR> myapp.vfs
09/05/2009 04:21 PM 105,528 sdx.kit
09/05/2009 04:31 PM 1,268,686 tclkit-win32.upx.exe
09/05/2009 04:27 PM 668,142 tclkit.exe
3 File(s) 2,042,356 bytes
3 Dir(s) 13,231,599,616 bytes free
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\temp>
Step 5: create your code. Create a file named "main.tcl" and place it in the myapp.vfs directory. Use notepad or the text editor of your choice. Give the file the following contents:
package require Tk
label .l -text "Hello, world"
pack .l
Verify that myapp.vfs looks like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\temp>dir myapp.vfs
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is F434-9FD3
Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\temp\myapp.vfs
09/05/2009 04:40 PM <DIR> .
09/05/2009 04:40 PM <DIR> ..
09/05/2009 04:40 PM 60 main.tcl
1 File(s) 60 bytes
2 Dir(s) 13,231,456,256 bytes free
Step 6: wrap the code using sdx. With your working directory in the original temporary directory, issue the following command to wrap your code.
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\temp>tclkit sdx.kit wrap myapp -runtime tclkit-w
in32.upx.exe
1 updates applied
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\temp>dir
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is F434-9FD3
Directory of C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\temp
09/05/2009 04:43 PM <DIR> .
09/05/2009 04:43 PM <DIR> ..
09/05/2009 04:44 PM 1,272,604 myapp
09/05/2009 04:40 PM <DIR> myapp.vfs
09/05/2009 04:21 PM 105,528 sdx.kit
09/05/2009 04:31 PM 1,268,686 tclkit-win32.upx.exe
09/05/2009 04:27 PM 668,142 tclkit.exe
5 File(s) 3,315,000 bytes
3 Dir(s) 13,229,654,016 bytes free
Step 7: rename the wrapped file to have a .exe suffix. sdx.kit should have created a file named "myapp". In order to run this you'll need to rename it to "myapp.exe". Once you do that you can run it by typing the command "myapp" or double-clicking on the icon from an explorer window.
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\temp>rename myapp myapp.exe
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\temp>myapp
If all went well, a window should pop up with the label that says "Hello, world"
