Firstly i'd like to say: Wow, thanks for building KitCreator, it's mega easy to create starkits, even cross compiling them!!

Now my problems so far:
When compiling everything succeeded (after many tries)

./kitcreator 8.6b3
Building tcl ... done.
Building tclvfs ... done.
Building zlib ... done.
Building tk ... done.
Building itcl ... done.
Building mk4tcl ... done.
Building kitsh ... done.


When I try to run it i get this:
./tclkit-local 
application-specific initialization failed: couldn't read file "/home/lostone/Programare/Tcl/freewrap-starkits/kitcreator/tclkit-local/lib/tcl8.6/init.tcl": invalid seek

Even if I run ./tclkit-8.6b3

When I compile it without mk4tcl but use cvfs or zip instead.. It compiles, when I run it, it WORKS if I source any file. But i have a problem.

I can't seem to ever be able to succesfully build a starpack or use sdx.kit:
(I know it uses  vfs:mk4 but wth..?)

an't find package vfs::mkcl
    while executing
"package require vfs::mkcl"
    (procedure "::vfs::mk4::Mount" line 4)
    invoked from within
"::vfs::mk4::Mount /home/lostone/Programare/Tcl/freewrap-starkits/sdx.kit /home/lostone/Programare/Tcl/freewrap-starkits/sdx.kit -readonly"
    ("eval" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"eval [list ::vfs::${driver}::Mount $self $self] $args"

Is there any (other) way I can build "starpacks" of my applications?
Can I just append ZIPS? I'd be glad if anything else works!

Also doing a "package names" only gives a few names.. If I append any .tcl file to the executable and then do "package names" i get all the packages..
95% of them source, some give errors like this:
couldn't read file "/home/lostone/Programare/Tcl/freewrap-starkits/kitcreator/tclkit-8.6b3/lib/vfs/mk4vfs.tcl": no such file or directory

I tried building starkits with kitgen, kbs and even to compile It myself but I failed miserably every time. I think it either must be a 8.6b bug or something in the settings. The weird thing YOUR app was the ONLY one to run the code without coughing anything.. Though no starkit/starpack/zip way to deploy an app.

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

To whom it may concern,

        There is an issue with Metakit and Tcl trunk (8.6b3 was just 
released from trunk).  I have not resolved it yet, but it will likely 
result in a new patch against metakit being added to kitcreator's list of 
metakit patches.

In the mean-time you can indeed use zip- or cvfs-based storage.

In zip-based storage there is a zip-file already appended to the 
exectuable that you need to update.  You should be able to extract it 
using the "unzip" command, or update it using the "zip" command.

For cvfs-based storage the base of the kit is stored in an internal 
archive that cannot be modified, but if you attach your source code in the 
form of a zip file appended to the end of the executable it will be picked 
up and used.

That is, for CVFS:
        cd myapp.vfs
        zip -r ../myapp.zip *
        cd ..
        cat tclkit-using-cvfs myapp.zip > tclkit-with-myapp
        chmod +x tclkit-with-myapp

Thanks,
        Roy Keene

95% of them source, some give errors like this:

I tried building starkits with kitgen, kbs and even to compile It myself but I failed miserably every time. I think it either must be a 8.6b bug or something in the settings.

Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

There is an issue with Metakit and Tcl trunk (8.6b3 was just 
released from trunk).  I have not resolved it yet, but it will likely 
result in a new patch against metakit being added to kitcreator's list of 
metakit patches.

For cvfs-based storage the base of the kit is stored in an internal 
archive that cannot be modified, but if you attach your source code in the 
form of a zip file appended to the end of the executable it will be picked 
up and used.

That is, for CVFS:
<pre>
        cd myapp.vfs
        zip -r ../myapp.zip *
        cd ..
        cat tclkit-using-cvfs myapp.zip > tclkit-with-myapp
        chmod +x tclkit-with-myapp
</pre>

Thanks,

Another workaround is to use Tcl 8.6b2 or 8.5.12 instead of 8.6b3.  Metakit works with those versions.
