This is the second release of the Quill Build System for TCL/TK. See the README and other documentation for complete information on what Quill is, and on the features of this release.

Quill 0.2.0 contains these changes over Quill 0.1.0.

  • Support for any TCL Interpreter. (Previously, Quill only worked with ActiveTcl 8.6 installations.)
  • Better support for Windows, thanks to Stephan Effelsberg who pointed out a number of bugs.
  • User-editable configuration. Quill relies on a number of helper applications, include the user's tclsh.
    These can now be set explicitly if need be. See 'quill env' for a list of the helpers Quill is using.
  • Quill can run arbitrary scripts in the context of the project's code base.
  • Quill can now build starpacks for other platforms, acquiring basekits from teapot.activestate.com.

Quill still relies on ActiveTcl's "teacup" executable and on TclDevKit's "tclapp" executable for certain functions; but Quill can still do a great deal for you even if neither of these are available.
