Purpose: consolidate discussions about differences between a site where Tcl/Tk/Tclvfs/metakit/incr tcl/zlib are installed and a site where only tclkit is available.
What things can someone expect to find different when using Tclkit rather than a full install from authority source distributions?
- Documentation - tclkit comes with none of the man pages/etc. There is a Tclkit DOK commands starkit containing the Tcl and Tk docs, but I don't think that currently there is one containing docs for everything that comes in the tclkit.
- Demos - tclkit is intended to be small. However, the demos for Tk are available from the sdarchive.
- Encodings - only a minimal number of encodings are available
- Libraries - tclkit is a static build, so no tclXX.dll or .so's or other libraries for linking are there
- Includes - tclkit does not install tcl.h or other header files
