Hi all,

I am facing a problem with TDK 4.1.0, which I don't know how to debug.
I have a medium-sized application in Tcl, with a few C extensions
(through SWIG).
The applications runs ok from the disk (unwrapped). Among other stuff,
it interacts with excel,
and writes a spreadsheet.

Now, I wrap my application using the command line interface:

eval exec tclapp -- -debug -relativeto [list $OutputDir]          -compile -follow-recommend
 -archive [list $repository]           -pkgref Itcl -pkgref Itk          -pkgref img::base -
pkgref img::png -pkgref img::bmp -pkgref
img::gif          -pkgref img::ico -pkgref img::jpeg -pkgref img::ps -pkgref
img::tiff          -pkgref img::window -pkgref BWidget          -pkgref Iwidgets -pkgref tco
m -pkgref tile          -pkgref struct::tree -pkgref struct::list -pkgref cmdline          -
prefix [list $prefix_exe] -icon [list $icon]          -out [list $output_exe]          -enco
ding cp1251 -encoding iso8859-1 -encoding iso8859-7          -encoding utf-8 $Files

BUT, the exe I get exhibits a slightly different behaviour: it is unable
to write the excel spreadsheet for some (but not all)
excel spreadsheets. So, something is different between the wrapped &
unwrapped applications. How can I find out what is different?
The only think that I discovered is different, is the system encoding.
The unwrapped app has cp1253, while the wrapped has cp1252. But changing
in the wrapped app the encoding with "encoding system cp1253" has no
effect, and I still get an error from excel.

So, I tried to change the way I create the wrapped app, and decided to
use the tclapp GUI to do the wrapping. But with no success :-) What I
did was:

I started tclapp.
I selected "C:/Program Files
(x86)/Tcl/bin/base-tk8.5-thread-win32-ix86.exe" as prefix file.
I clicked "Compile .tcl files"
I set "C:/Users/petasis/Editor-Runtime/editor.exe" as output file.

In the "Files" tab, I pressed the last button on the right "Wrap all
files found under directory"
I selected the application "main" file, and pressed "Set Main"

Then, in the "Packages" tab, I pressed "Scan files for required
packages" (the first one).
This added many packages. Then I pressed "Add required and recommended
dependent packages" (the third one).
This added even more packages.

I wrapped my app, but not it fails finding a package:

can't find package Tablelist_tile
     while executing
"package require Tablelist_tile"

During wrapping of course, the package was there:

So, what to do now? Any ideas?

BTW, my app works as a wrapped one with 8.4 & TDK 3.x. Including
writting the excel spreadsheet for the files
that now fails. How to debug this?

Regards,

George
