Version 21 of KitCreator

Updated 2018-05-23 17:52:32 by JMC

KitCreator , by Roy Keene, is a simple build system for creating a Tclkit or other basekit for your platform. It was created to ease creation of basekits for the local platform.

Description

It will work for cross-compiling Tclkits if you bootstrap a local Tclkit first.

It is intended to resemble as closely as possible the authentic Tclkit.

What sets this project apart from other similar projects is that:

  1. It attempts to be modular;
  2. It supports cross-compiling;
  3. It downloads the source from their original repositories;
  4. It allows you to specify an arbitrary version of Tcl (including CVS); and
  5. It uses GNU Autoconf scripts for compiling the part of the Tclkit that brings the whole thing together (the Kitsh)

AMG: Is any work being done on getting recent versions of KitCreator to work with SunOS/Solaris? I'm going to need this.

Here are the current build failure logs: [L1 ] [L2 ]

AMG: I've succeeded in cross compiling from Linux to Windows, and the resultant binary works, except for one really annoying thing. It creates a useless text-mode console window that collects all stdout. How can I disable this?

I'm using binutils and gcc from http://pkg.mxe.cc/repos/tar/mxe-i686-w64-mingw32.static/ . Should I be using something else? Here's how I'm calling kitcreator:

TARGET=i686-w64-mingw32.static
CC=/opt/cross/bin/$TARGET-gcc \
    CXX=/opt/cross/bin/$TARGET-g++ \
    AR=/opt/cross/bin/$TARGET-ar \
    RANLIB=/opt/cross/bin/$TARGET-ranlib \
    STRIP=/opt/cross/bin/$TARGET-strip \
    RC=/opt/cross/bin/$TARGET-windres \
    TEA_PLATFORM=windows \
    KC_TLS_LINKADD="-lws2_32 -lgdi32" \
    ./kitcreator --host=$TARGET

I added the TEA_PLATFORM and KC_TLS_LINKADD variables to match [L3 ], but they had no measurable effect on the result.

Update: I was able to work around the issue by adding LDFLAGS=-mwindows to the build command. Why should I have to do this? Wouldn't -mwindows already be part of the command line to link the Tclkit executable?

JMC: I'm able to build starkits/starpacks on Windows/Linux/Solaris, but I use kbs.tcl not KitCreator. If you're interested in switching, then I might be able to help.
