Hiding wrapped script output window ?

Hello all,

I have a Tcl/tk script written and am looking
to deploy on the Windows platform right now
(Unix, Mac later on). I would like to simply
make available to the users a single "compiled"
.exe containing everything needed to run it.
Can someone point me to a Tcl script or a
Windows .exe that can do this along the
lines of Activestate's "tclapp". I tried
"xmktclapp" but the output cmd window shows
up along with the Tcl/tk app, which is not
acceptable.
I would like the C/C++ integration of "xmktclapp"
but cannot use it as long as that cmd window
keeps showing.

Thaks for any assists,

Carl

Have you tried freewrap (http://freewrap.sourceforge.net)?

Whatever method you choose, use wish instead of tclsh as your base
interpreter if you don't want the cmd.exe window to show on windows.
If you don't have a GUI fine, still use wish and do [wm withdraw .] at
the start of your script (and an additional [console hide] if
necessary).

Don't forget to [exit] at the end, since wish enters the event loop by
default instead of exiting.

Thanks,

I tried freewrap this morning just to try
it out but I don't believe it supports
integration of scirpts and C/C++ coding.
I'm fairly new to Tcl/tk and so thought I
might be missing some other (free) wrapper
like "xmktclapp" wherein I could use my
IDE (MS-VS) as the editor at least for Tcl
while developing C/C++ routines to wrap
with the scripts. I'll give your script
mods a try.

Thanks again,

Carl
