What is Cookit?

Table below shows all Cookit versions for currently supported platforms:

 

To get started, it is recommended to download Cookit 8.6 version (without bz2 and tls). It is the most tested version at the moment.

 

The following flavors of Cookit are provided:

• Cookit 8.6 - Cookit built against Tcl/Tk 8.6 sources; built without BZ2 support, only zlib
• Cookit 8.6 bz2 - Cookit built against Tcl/Tk 8.6 with BZ2 support; slightly smaller
• Cookit 8.5 - Cookit built against Tcl/Tk 8.5 with only BZ2 support (no zlib support)

 

On Microsoft Windows, build with Tk is equivalent of wish and without Tk is a console version (equivalent of tclsh). On all other platforms, cookit with Tk simply has Tk added to VFS layer.

On Solaris, cookit with tls has openssl+tls compiled in statically. On all other platforms, tls is provided as a separate package, downloadable below.

 

Additional cookit packages can be downloaded from directories below:

All packages can be used both with cookit and standard tclkit.

Aside from Tk (where version of Tk needs to match Tcl inside binary), all packages are built against Tcl 8.5 and can be used with all Tcl 8.5 and 8.6 interpreters.

 

Packages can be added to cookit or cookit based applications using tabs. For example:

 

tabs wrap -output cookit-bi.run -binary cookit.run -packages \
    "tk-8.6b1.2.cfspkg tls-1.6.1.cfspkg tclx-8.4.cfspkg sqlite3-3.7.2.cfspkg"
