JOB Another approach to solve the problem of how to execute a program (could be a .tcl script, a windws .bat or .exe) which is shipped within a starpack-vfs.

A helper package to simplify the execution of programs and # batch files which are distributed within (*)starpacks. # To execute such files, they need to be copied out from vfs into a # temporary directory beforehand. # # DESCRIPTION: # The following logic is implemented: # # - determine, if the command is: # # - a command, which is provided within the (*)starpack currently # running, and if so, # - recursively scan the starpack starting from the # vfs root or from a given entry point, within the current # starpack, specified by the argument -vfsroot # to find the rel.location # - then, copy the executable (which can be of any kind, # typically a .tcl, .sh, .bat, .exe, ...) out of the vfs # into a temporary directory on your local hard disk # - and finally, execute it from here, # - after a delay, delete the local copy again # # if no starpack / no vfs avail, fallback to: # # - an external appl. and if so, # - check with auto_execok, it is directly executeable, # - append the -exeprefix to the executable's name and try # again to evaluate execution ! # # SYNOPSIS: # # execcmd ?options? exec_command # # OPTIONS: # # -vfsroot ... vfs directory, from where to start searching to find # the specified executable # default = "", in this case, the complete vfs # starting from ::starkit::topdir is processed # -exeprefix . additional directory outside vfs which is used as prefix, # in case the executable can't be found neither in vfs nor # with auto_execok # -tempdir ... where to store a temporary copy of the executable # default = "", in this case, the "standard" dir # (os dependant) is used # -wishcmd ... for windows only and only relevant if a .tcl is to be # executed, specify your own wish binary executable # default = "", in this case, wish needs to be part of your # current PATH environment variable! # # exec_command a list, to specify system command + arguments # which is going to be executed # EXAMPLE CALL: # # use "list" to prevent from backslash substitution on windows: # # eval ::execcmd::execcmd \ # -vfsroot [list $CONFIG_DIR] \ # -exeprefix "" \ # -wishcmd "" \ # $exec_command & # # ------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Mod.History: # June 09, Johann Oberdorfer, V0.1, initial release # ------------------------------------------------------------------------- package provide execcmd 0.1 namespace eval ::execcmd:: { variable options variable tempDir variable delDelay 800 variable debug_mode 0 namespace export execcmd # valid options / default settings # -wishcmd is only required on windows array set options { -vfsroot "" -exeprefix "" -tempdir "" -wishcmd "" } } ## -- unused right now -- # a workaround for "file normalize" under windows ## proc ::execcmd::ShortName {fullPathName} { if { $::tcl_platform(platform) eq "windows" } { if { [catch {file attributes $fullPathName} attr] == 0 && [set idx [lsearch -exact attr "-shortname"]] != -1 } { return [lindex $attr [expr {$idx + 1}]] } } if {[file exists $fullPathName]} { return [file normalize $fullPathName] } return $fullPathName } ## # determine, where to store temporary files... # to-do: fileutil offers a function for temporary storage handling # -> might be a good candidate ?! ## proc ::execcmd::SetTempDir {} { switch -- $::tcl_platform(platform) { "windows" { set tempDir $::env(TEMP) } "unix" -
