Regarding extracting the exe file to the local file system

sowm18 — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 07:53:17 -0700

Hi all,

How to extract the executable to a location in the regular filesystem form the VFS and run it from there? The operating system will be able to see it, and it will work as expected.

do we need modifications in the main script?

Thanks in Advance

can't find package Expect

Greetings.
I have installed ActiveTcl 8.4.18.0 and TclDevKit 4.0.4 (trial license), I need to generate a executable of my script tcl.

I use tclsh and it works well, but, generating an executable from TclDevKit with the following command:

tclapp.exe -prefix C:\Tcl\bin\base-tk-thread-win32-ix86.exe -out myapp.exe C:\Tcl\demos\Expect\mejorcito.tcl

At the moment I have the following files in C:\Tcl\bin:

base-tcl-thread-win32-ix86.exe
base-tk-thread-win32-ix86.exe

mejorcito.tcl is a script that use expect and below it is the code:

#!/bin/sh
# \
exec tclsh "$0" ${1+"$@"}

# This is required to declare that we will use Expect
package require Expect

# 1. Open a telnet session
spawn telnet 10.0.0.3

I get the following error message:

can't find package Expect while executing "package require Expect" (file "C:/TclDevKit/bin/myapp.exe/lib/application/Tcl/demos/Expect/mejorcito.tcl" line 37) invoked from within "source $startup" (file "C:/TclDevKit/bin/myapp.exe/main.tcl" line 51)

Please help my to find a solution

I found it. I just needed a newer version of TK.

Which file?

Which file are you referring to? The basekit comes with ActiveTcl, and the sample file above is just something I threw together in the spur of the moment.

Cheers,

Was this file supposed to come with my dev kit?
