Re: Starkit problem

I am trying to make a starkit for a program that requires two non-
builtin packages: snack and tdom. I copy both into the vfs/lib
directory, so the top two levels of the vfs directory look like this:

main.tcl
lib
app-Prompt/
snack2.2/
tcl8.4/
tdom/

When I make a Starkit for Linux, it works fine. When I make one for MS
Windows, with the same structure but with the Windows runtime and
Windows packages, it does not work because it is unable to find snack.

What is wrong?

Is snack2.2 a *pure* Tcl package (only Tcl code) or does it include
compiled code (eg a .so file)? If the latter, you need the MS-Windows
dll and you need to modify the pgkIndex.tcl file in snack2.2 to test
tcl_platform and load the proper file (the .so under Linux, the .dll
under MS-Windows).

(Ditto for tdom as well, unless it is a *pure* Tcl package.)
