What's involved in renaming pages?  Surely we could've just
named this page '''Creating software distributions which include Tcl/Tk'''  - Sheesh!


Purpose: to discuss the issues, and possible solutions, to building
software that can then be used by others.

There are numerous layers to this problem:

   * General issues  [GNU tools versus...]

      * Where does the package get installed?
      * What needs to be included in a distribution?

   * Distributions containing script ''extensions''
   * Distributions containing executable script applications
   * Distributions including binary only extensions
   * Distributions including binary only applications
   * Distributions including "to be compiled" source code extensions
   * Distributions including "to be compiled" source code applications
   * Distributions including documentation
   * Distributions including application dependent files (files which need some other application installed to access them - Excel spreadsheets, Word documents, etc.)
   * Distributions including other types of files (graphics, data, etc.)

Well friends - have a look at the topics above.  I am certain that there will be some overlap between some of the topics.  In those cases, feel free to spin off a seperate page to address the topic, leaving a link here to the discussion.  See [what is involved in creating a CD-ROM containing runnable Tcl/Tk scripts] discussions for additional fodder - perhaps some of the info common to these two pages should itself be spun off into its own page as well.
