<i>Tclkit Building Made Trivial</i>
<p>KitCreator is a simple build system for creating a <a href="http://www.equi4.com/tclkit/">Tclkit</a>. It was created to ease creation of Tclkits. If you just want to use Tcl on your platform, it is recommended that you use a <a href="http://www.equi4.com/tclkit/download.html">pre-existing Tclkit</a>. See also locally built pre-built <a href="http://rkeene.org/projects/info/wiki/Tclkits">Tclkits</a>.</p>
<p>A <a href="http://www.equi4.com/tclkit/">Tclkit</a> is, briefly, a single-file executable that contains Tcl (both the interpreter, and all the resources it requires to operate) and other Tcl-related packages (Tk, Incr Tcl, etc). A tclkit can be used to create a <i>Starpack</i>, which is the Tclkit plus the resources required for your Tcl-based application in a single file. This makes application delivery easy and consistent as it will be a single file that the user runs to use the application. Additionally, since a Tclkit is generic, any Tclkit from any platform can be used as the base for a Starpack. That is, from GNU/Linux you can take the Tclkit for AIX and add your application to produce a native executable for AIX.</p>
<p>KitCreator can create a library that provides the Tcl (and optionally Tk) API for a system. This is called KitDLL. The library has all of the support files embedded into it. The library's virtual filesystem can be extended by appending a zip file to it. It can also be extended by appending a zip file to the application itself.</p>
<p>KitCreator can be used to cross-compile a Tclkit, however you may need to have a working Tclkit for your native system first. KitCreator can be used to create this local boot-strap Tclkit.</p>
<p>There is an automated test suite that is performed nightly, the results can be found on the <a href="http://www.rkeene.org/devel/kitcreator/kitbuild/nightly/">nightly build status</a> page</p>
