'''TclApp''', a component of [Tcl Dev Kit] since release 2.5, is a tool to bundle Tcl scripts and related resources for deployment as a single-file, installation-free executables Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX. ** See Also ** [prowrap]: the [TclPro] analogue ** Documentation ** [http://docs.activestate.com/tdk/5.3/TclApp.html%|%official reference]: ** Description ** TclApp creates multi-architecture [starkit%|%starkits]. In contrast to [prowrap], which uses a limited ad-hoc variant of a virtual filesystem specifically written for it, TclApp is based on the complete and generic [virtual file system%|%virtual filesystem] of Tcl [Changes in Tcl/Tk 8.4%|%Tcl 8.4]. It generates [metakit]-based [starkit]s and [starpack]s. Beyond that TclApp is capable of directly wrapping packages without the user being forced to specify all files in the package during wrapping. This is handled through ''package definition files'' which contain all the necessary information. A companion tool, the [TclApp Package Editor] can be used to create and edit such files. Before release 2.5 the [Tcl Dev Kit] contained an enhanced version of prowrap providing a GUI for easy access to the features of the application. ** Comparison to sdx ** [HaO] 2011-06-09 '''tclapp''' standard behaviour is different to [sdx]. For most differences, there are options to gain compatibility. This is for migration purpose, the different behaviour is senseful. %|What|tclapp|sdx|tclapp option to have sdx behaviour|% &|get MP (mount point)|starkit::topdir|starkit::topdir||& &|Wrap path|MP/|MP/lib/application/|-anchor /|& &|Start file|MP/main.tcl|Option -startfile with autogenerated main.tcl|-nospecials|& &|Custom Icon|-icon|MP/tclkit.ico||& &|Custom windows text resources|-stringinfo|MP/tclkit.inf||& <> Category Application | Category Deployment
