kbs -- kitgen build system (version 0.4.8 for tcl/tk 8.6.5) ========================== The system can generate [Tclkit] and [Tclkit Lite] executables and Tcl packages for different operating systems. Tested are Linux, SunOS and Windows. [Tclkit]: http://www.equi4.com/tclkit/tclkitlite.html [Tclkit Lite]: http://www.equi4.com/tclkit/tclkitlite.html Additional documentation can be found under <http://wiki.tcl.tk/18146> Sources are available from <http://sourceforge.net/projects/kbskit> ------- * kbs.tcl - single source file, all you need Metakit tclkit interpreter, read/write of kitfiles, C++ libs necessary: *kbsmk*cli* - shell application *kbsmk*dyn* - tk dynamic loadable *kbsmk*gui* - tk static inserted Vlerq tclkit lite interpreter, readonly kitfiles: *kbsvq*cli* - shell application *kbsvq*dyn* - tk dynamic loadable *kbsvq*gui* - tk static inserted Batteries included interpreter: *kbsvq*bi with (8.5 and 8.6): bwidget1.9.9 gridplus2.10 icons1.2 img1.4.3 memchan2.3 mentry3.7 nsf2.0.0 ral0.11.2 pdf4tcl0.8.2 rbc0.1 sqlite3.11.0 tablelist5.15 tcllib1.18 tclx8.4 tdom0.8.3 thread2.7.3 tkcon tkdnd2.8 tklib0.6 tkpath0.3.3 tktable2.10 treectrl2.4.1 trofs0.4.8 udp1.0.11 wcb3.5 xotcl1.6.8 2014-12- only 8.5: itcl3.4 itk3.4 iwidgets4.0.2 only 8.6: itcl4.0 itk4.0 iwidgets4.1 Quick start ----------- * Build [Tclkit] executables: ./kbs.tcl -r -mk install kbskit8.5 * Build [Tclkit Lite] executables: ./kbs.tcl -r -vq install kbskit8.5 * Build user defined batteries included executables: ./kbs.tcl -r -vqi-bi -bi=".." install kbskit8.6 * Build kit-file: ./kbs.tcl -r install kbspkg8.6 * Show used configuration: ./kbs.tcl config * Start graphical user interface: ./kbs.tcl gui * Display options and online help: ./kbs.tcl help Build requirements ------------------ The following external programs are needed: * C-compiler, C++ compiler for metakit based programs * make with handling of VPATH variables (gmake) * wget, cvs, svn, bzip2, git, tar, gzip, unzip to get and extract sources To build under Windows you need the [msys] system and put the kbs-sources inside the msys tree (/home/..).
