I made a little [starpack] helper, that incorporates ML Editor, [SDX], [tkcon] and both [tclkit] for [windows] and [linux]
just like a tiny TCL development environment

   * ML added feature:
   ** Wrap for windows
   ** Wrap for linux

   * New commands:
======
sdx opt1 opt2 .... (you can learn to use sdx in some other article XD)

qspack scriptname outbinaryfilename ?platform?

tkcon [show/hide]
======

so with one file you can crosscompile for two platforms

Example:

you have a file called x.tcl

   1. open it in the ML that will start from devkit.kit

   1. then you want to add a a file for the app

   1. make a dir called x_app near x.tcl and put files into it

   1. then you want to add packages too

   1. make a dir called x_lib near x.tcl and put the packages directories into it  

   1. when you go in menu Starpack and press Wrap to Windows EXE

   1. it will make a starpack exactly as you want

maybe you wont need to use [sdx] anymore

but if you need sdx just type in tk console: (example)
======
sdx qwrap x.ctl
======
and it will use its internal sdx

maybe u would like to use cmdline to make your starpacks or use sdx from cmdline

just use for example
======
devkit.exe qspack x.tcl o.exe ?platform?

devkit.exe sdx unwrap x.kit

devkit.exe [any tcl command you like]
======
note that qspack can be used from tk console


some elite member here could help me write a more good thing than this because i'm not english

I would like to know if it's useful or not

if any bug is present

or something that i should do to make it better :)

or just type some random comment XD

[pcam] 06/05/2009 Just had a quick run through. Personally I think it goes in the right direction and goes a long way to make the production of ready to run binaries for multiple platforms really easy. 
An added feature I would love to see is the ability to build starpacks with any additional tcl packages and even better with binary packages (e.g. tdom).
Great work, and I shall be using it my current tool development. 

[JR] :) you could actually add your tcl packages, just make a directory called urscriptwithoutextenction_lib and put your packages in that dir
