command line starkit
in [TCL]

From: keithv on 1 Apr 2010 12:09 Hi, I'm writing an app that in some invocations needs to be a GUI program with Tk, and at other times it wants to be a command line program with output to the screen (batch mode). With straight Tcl this is easy--just run the script with tclsh.exe and make "package require Tk" conditional. Can the same be done with a starkit? I'm finding that it always load Tk and loses stdout. I'm using runtime tclkit-win32.upx.exe--is there a different one that doesn't automatically load Tk (but potentially lets you load it later). Thanks, Keith

Non-trivial for MS-Windows -- you'd have to build a custom tclkit. There are two tclkit's for MS-Windows: the 'normal' one, with Tk (and it always fires up Tk) and one without Tk (and Tk can't be fired up at all [I Think]). The *UNIX* (including MacOSX) tclkit behave as you would expect: unless you explicitly do a "package require Tk", you get no GUI -- it is strickly a CLI kit. > > Thanks, > Keith > > > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Download the Model Railroad System http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Binaries for Linux and MS-Windows heller(a)deepsoft.com -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ModelRailroadSystem/

Or, if you are using ActiveState's basekits: tclkit <=> base-tk tclkitsh <=> base-tcl -- So long, Andreas Kupries <akupries(a)shaw.ca> <http://www.purl.org/NET/akupries/> Developer @ <http://www.activestate.com/> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
