Using TclDev Kit 4 TclApp to wrap BLT 2.4

Hi,

I'm using TclDev Kit 4 TclApp to wrap BLT 2.4 but I keep getting a "Cannot find package BLT 2.4" error. I've tried several approaches outlined in the documentation and have successfully wrapped standard and non-standard packages (mkWidgets) but I keep getting this error with BLT.

Has anyone tried to wrap BLT with TclApp? If so can you tell me how to do this.

thanks,

Mark

The first problem with wrapping BLT is that the known binary versions available publicly are not compiled with stubs support. This is required in order to remove any runtime dependencies on Tcl libraries that wouldn't exist in deployment. This is noted in the docs here:

It is possible to compile BLT with stubs support oneself, with various patches available online.
