Version 2 of Tclkit Lite

Updated 2005-10-26 22:22:07 by jcw

Tclkit Lite is a new (as of Oct 2005) variant of Tclkit which is a limited edition of Tclkit.

The limits are:

  • it only reads/runs/mounts Metakit-based starkits & starpacks, it cannot (yet) create or modify them
  • it does not include Mk4tcl, so all dependencies on C++ are gone
  • it adds a small TEA3-based new C-only extension (called "Thrive")
  • performance is "sort of" like Tclkit, but varies because it's a different code base
  • it does not use the "mk4vfs" VFS driver, but a simpler one called "mkclvfs" (MK Compat Lite)

The steps needed to build Tclkit Lite require the latest version of "genkit". Stay tuned as I get things ready for others to start building this new lite variant themselves. -jcw
