Welcome
The ActiveState Tcl Dev Kit development environment is a set of powerful development
tools and an extended Tcl platform for professional Tcl developers.
TEA Package Management
The new Tcl Extension Architecture (TEA) is a framework for Tcl
package management. Download and install Tcl packages from the
ActiveState repository, or create your own repository with packaged
versions of your own Tcl extensions.
- Introduction:
A quick introduction to the most important pieces of the TEApot
system and their relationships.
- Glossary: The
glossary of all terms relevant to TEApot.
- Meta data
specification: The specification of the meta data
format, its embedding into various forms of package archives, and
the keywords ActiveState has laid claim to and given meaning.
- ActiveTcl: How
TEApot and ActiveTcl interact with each other.

Tcl Dev Kit Debugger (with
Coverage and Profiling)
No more puts statements! Breakpoints, single-stepping, variable/stack display,
code coverage analysis, extensive code profiling and other features help you to
track down bugs quickly. The Tcl Dev Kit Debugger provides
a convenient graphical user interface for debugging local, remote and
embedded Tcl applications as well as multiple processes.

Tcl Dev Kit Checker
Our static code analyzer helps you find syntax and
other common usage errors quickly, without having to run
your program. If you are using older versions of Tcl and Tk
(as far back as Tcl 7.3 and Tk 3.6), the Tcl Dev Kit Checker helps
you upgrade by warning about potential incompatibilities.

Tcl Dev Kit Compiler
Do you want to keep your customers from seeing and modifying
your source code? The Tcl Dev Kit Compiler converts a Tcl script into a bytecode
representation for distribution, so that your source code doesn't leave your
site. The Tcl Dev Kit Compiler, which includes both a command-line and a
graphical interface, supports Tcl versions 8.4 and later.

Tcl Dev Kit TclApp
TclApp replaces the Tcl Dev Kit Wrapper, which was based on
prowrap. The TclApp tool collects all the files required
for a Tcl application and creates a single executable file. Making use of the
Virtual Filesystem (VFS) support included in Tcl version 8.4, TclApp vastly
simplifies the wrapping process, letting developers specify packages as well as
individual files. In addition, you can use the command-line version of TclApp
to convert starkits to starpacks. more...
Tcl Dev Kit Package Editor
The Package Editor makes it easy to define groups of files for inclusion
in applications generated with TclApp. more...
Virtual Filesystem Explorer
The Virtual Filesystem Explorer (VFSE) provides a convenient way to analyze
the contents of filesystems, starkits, starpacks and .zip files. Items are mounted
for viewing in the tool's virtual directory. This is especially useful
when you want to view files that are not visible in Windows Explorer, such as
those wrapped inside starkits and starpacks. You can also move or copy mounted
files and directories to a new location and view them with another application.
The VFSE works with Tcl version 8.4 or greater.

Tcl Dev Kit Service Manager
The Service Manager is used to register services (built with TclApp). The
Service Manager provides a graphical interface for registering services on a
Windows system. more...
Tcl Dev Kit Inspector
The Inspector is an inspector for Tk applications. It uses Tk's send
command to retrieve information from other Tk applications. Previously, aspects
of the Inspector were only available when running the Tcl Dev Kit Debugger
with coverage. The complete Inspector functionality is now included with the Tcl
Dev Kit. more...
Cross Reference Tool
The Cross Reference Tool builds a database from programs and packages, making
it easy to drill down into your code and examine relationships and dependencies.
This graphical tool extracts various elements, including packages, files, namespaces,
commands and variables, and displays them on individual tabs for convenient
viewing. The Cross Reference Tool works with Tcl version 8.4 or greater.
