  • ANNOUNCE: tcl-sfe - statically linked Tcl 9.1b0 +packages buildsystem and binaries for Windows

    Repository: https://github.com/apnadkarni/tcl-sfe
    Docs: https://github.com/apnadkarni/tcl-sfe/blob/main/README.md

    This repository hosts single file executables (SFE) of Tcl/Tk for
    Windows and a build system to create and customize them. These are
    completely statically linked (other than the C and Windows runtimes) and therefore avoid issues that arise from similar single file executables
    that write shared libraries to disk.

    The `tclsfe.exe` and `tksfe.exe` programs are enhanced versions of
    `tclsh.exe` and `wish.exe` that include the following extensions by
    default:


    - thread
    - sqlite3
    - tdbc::odbc
    - twapi

    The build system allows omission of any of these if smaller executables
    are desired. Further, SFE's can be customized by adding

    - additional packages or Tcl modules

    - interpreter initalization scripts

    - a main script that implements a complete application

    - statically linked extensions

    Only the last customization needs a compiler.

    Thank you ! Your contributions and explanations (as in your book),
    to the construction of single file executables are priceless for a
    user that has not the knowledge to dive into the compilation step.
