New FreeWrap 6.2 + BWidget issue

sbaret@gmail.com

2006-10-21, 10:02 pm

I'm using FreeWrap 6.2 on Windows 2000. In my .tcl file, I am using
BWidget. So I have added these two lines in the .tcl file:
lappend auto_path /tcl/lib/bwidget1.7
package require BWidget

I have created an index file, like that:
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/arrow.Tcl
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/bitmap.Tcl
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/button.Tcl
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/buttonbox.Tcl
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/bwidget.tap
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/color.Tcl
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/combobox.Tcl
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/dialog.Tcl
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/dragsite.Tcl
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/dropsite.Tcl
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/dynhelp.Tcl
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/entry.Tcl
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/font.Tcl
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/images
..=2E...

And I wraped the file with the fooling command:
Freewrap myfile.tcl -f myindexfile.txt
C:\Tcl\lib\bwidget1.7\pkgIndex.tcl

I can run the generated .exe file on the hard drive I have generated it
without any problem. But when I copy the file on one another hard
drive, I have the following message on the console: " Error sourcing
/freewrap/myfile.tcl: couldn't read file
"/tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/widget.tcl": no such file or directory

I have checked:
=B7 The Bwidget package is well included in the liste of packages of my
wrapped application.
=B7 When I change the .exe to .zip in the wrapped application, I can
confirm that the file "application/tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/widget.tcl"
is well included in the wrapped file

I do not know what I have done wrong. Does someone can help me?

Many thanks in advance.

Do you know the differrence between uppercase and lowercase letters?
You *have* to match the case!!! You are not matching the case of the
letters. "/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7" is NOT the same as
"/tcl/lib/bwidget1.7". You need to fix this. Repeating your question
won't make it work.

Following you advice, I have changed the index:
/tcl/lib/bwidget1.7
/tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/arrow.Tcl
/tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/bitmap.Tcl
/tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/button.Tcl
/tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/buttonbox.Tcl
..=2E.

And now the BWidget package is not included in the list of package of
my wrapped application. Now I have the following error message:
"can't find package BWidget"

What can I do?

OK, Obviously freewrap is NOT including the files if the C:\Tcl
directory is specificed in lowercase. That means you need to change the
index file to use it capitalized:

/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/arrow.Tcl
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/bitmap.Tcl
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/button.Tcl
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/buttonbox.Tcl
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/bwidget.tap
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/color.Tcl
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/combobox.Tcl
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/dialog.Tcl
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/dragsite.Tcl
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/dropsite.Tcl
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/dynhelp.Tcl
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/entry.Tcl
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/font.Tcl
/Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7/images
...

*Then* you need to change your lappend line to:

lappend auto_path /Tcl/lib/bwidget1.7

to match.

The path in the index file and the auto_path have to match. They don't
have to be lower case, just the *same* case/capitalization, whatever
works.

*I* don't understand why freewrap is treating a *MS-Windows* *file
system* in a case sensitive manor, since MS-Windows file systems are not
normally case sensitive. The internally created virtual file system IS
case sensitive (UNIX-like).

I basically stopped using freewrap after V4.4. The 5.x series does not
work properly when used to cross build MS-Windows EXEs under Linux. I
have not even looked at the 6.x versions of freewrap (and probably
won't bother). Most likely I'll use a 'startkit' instead.

Now, it is OK. The package Bwidget is well included in the package list
but I have the following error: "Error sourcing /freewrap/myfile.tcl:
missing newline on line 52". This error occurred also when I run the
..exe on the Hard Drive where I have generated it.

I do know which "line 52" it is talking about because when I add
lines before the line 52 in my file .tcl the error is still on line
52....

Any idea?

Could you tell me which 'startkit' you are using, I will us it?

Nope. Maybe you should contact the freewrap author (check at
freewrap.sourceforge.net) -- I doubt anyone on this newsgroup has any
clue (including me, probably the only person here who has used any
version of freewrap, and the last *working* version I used was 4.4).

I havn't gotten to the point of actually building a startkit. You can
check on the Tcl wiki for information (http://wiki.tcl.tk/).

Hi, I'm the author of freeWrap.

I experienced the same error message when trying to wrap a BWidget
application. The error occurs when the [package require BWidget] statement
is executed in a wrapped application. At this point I'm not sure whether
the problem is with the pkgIndex.tcl file or one of the files that
pkgIndex.tcl sources.

Unfortunately, I am on business travel this w

and won't be able to get
back to the problem until next w

.
