This will build a Tclkit named "tclkit-<version>".
Usage:
kitcreator [{<version> | cvs_<cvsTag> | clean | distclean}]
[<configure_options...>]
Where:
version is a Tcl version number (e.g., 8.4.19)
cvsTag is a CVS release tag (e.g., HEAD)
configure_options are options to pass to subordinate configure
scripts (e.g., --enable-64bit)
Default is to create a Tclkit from Tcl version 8.4.19
Examples:
1. Create a Tclkit for Tcl 8.5.8:
a. $ ./kitcreator 8.5.8
2. Create a Tclkit for Tcl from CVS HEAD:
a. $ ./kitcreator cvs_HEAD
3. Compile a 64-bit Tclkit:
a. $ ./kitcreator --enable-64bit
4. Cross-compile a Tclkit:
a. Bootstrap (optional, you can use an existing Tclkit):
i. $ ./kitcreator
ii. $ mv tclkit-8.4.19 tclkit-local
iii. $ TCLKIT="`pwd`/tclkit-local"
iv. $ export TCLKIT
b. Cross-compile:
i. $ CC=mipsel-linux-uclibc-gcc
ii. $ AR=mipsel-linux-uclibc-ar
iii. $ RANLIB=mipsel-linux-uclibc-ranlib
iv. $ export CC AR RANLIB
v. $ ./kitcreator --host=mipsel-linux-uclibc
5. Compile a 64-bit Tclkit 8.5.8 using SunStudio 12.1 on Solaris/x86:
a. $ CC='/opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/cc -m64'
b. $ CXX='/opt/sunstudio12.1/bin/CC -m64'
c. $ PATCH='gpatch'
c. $ export CC CXX PATCH
d. $ ./kitcreator 8.5.8 --enable-64bit
6. To clean up post-build:
a. $ ./kitcreator clean
Environment variables:
1. MAKE
Specifies the tool you wish to be called to build targets
from a Makefile. This script is generally more well tested
with GNU Make.
2. PATCH
Specifies the tool you wish to be called to apply unified
diff patches. This script is generally more well tested with
GNU Patch.
3. TCLKIT
Specify the path to a Tclkit that is runnable on the current
system. The default is "tclkit". A working tclkit is required
for cross-compiling Tclkits.
