Starpacker is a utility that helps join Starkits and Tclkits to create stand-alone Starpacks. This can already be done with SDX, which is a superior tool in many ways, but Starpacker provides a simpler interface to this particular aspect of SDX.
More extensive help is included with the program.
Demonstration
Drag an application Starkit onto Starpacker, select a Tclkit, and click Pack to create a stand-alone executable for the indicated platform. The Tclkit is downloaded automatically if needed. (May not work with all Starkits.)
I recommend watching the video full screen for maximum clarity.
Download
- Starpacker for Mac OS X 4.68 MB Universal (based on tclkit-darwin-univ-aqua 8.4.18)
- Starpacker for Windows 1.3 MB (based on tclkit-win32 8.4.16)
- Generic Starpacker Starkit 274 KB (for experimental use with any Tclkit)
The “Create Mac OS X application package” option uses the technique I’ve described before as minimal Tcl/Tk Mac application packages.
