Version 5 of KitCreator

Updated 2013-11-16 17:52:54 by MHo

A simple build system for creating a Tclkit for your platform. It was created to ease creation of Tclkits for the local platform.

It will work for cross-compiling Tclkits if you bootstrap a local Tclkit first.

It is intended to resemble as closely as possible the authentic Tclkit.

What sets this project apart from other similar projects is that:

  1. It attempts to be modular;
  2. It supports cross-compiling;
  3. It downloads the source from their original repositories;
  4. It allows you to specify an arbitrary version of Tcl (including CVS); and
  5. It uses GNU Autoconf scripts for compiling the part of the Tclkit that brings the whole thing together (the Kitsh)

Looks like you are reinventing kitgen or kbskit. I will take the idea with cross compiling from your work. You can have a look on BI builds ;)

Roy Keene 2010-10-16 KitCreator was less work for me than any existing build system. It's also very portable.

MHo 2013-11-16: The Tclkits I found on http://www.rkeene.org/devel/kitcreator/kitbuild/nightly/ under the heading Tclkit for Tcl version 8.6.1 for Win64 on amd64 aren't 64 bit Executables - I can simply call them successfully on 32bit Win XP...
