  • Tclkit for MacOS

    Please, can you give me some links to download tclkit for MacOS ?

    This venerable site
    https://kitcreator.rkeene.org/kitcreator
    provides tclkit up to 8.6.12,
    but I need at least 8.6.14 (-> fixing the bug "Aqua: XPutImage() swaps
    red and blue channels".)
    Also some tclit 9.x would be useful.

    Thank you
    Aldo.

    OK, (alternative) solution found.

    From github, I opened one of the Action pages
    example
    https://github.com/tcltk/tk/actions/runs/13235982782

    and then downloaded
    Wish 9.0.2 macOS single-file build (snapshot)
    It's a single file executable thus very like a tclkit.
    (WARNING; you must be logged in, or download won't be enabled).


    Tested; OK It's a single.file executable (8,5 MB) fully working.

    Now I'm ready to create and deploy a macOS App, just by packing this
    executable and my specific scripts (Tcl plus some binary libraries).

    Just a note:

    I have no a precise measure yet, I feel that this single-file executable
    like tclkit is much slower than a standard TckTk interpreter ...
    Isn't it ?
