So, I decided to go ahead and try making kitgen, using the "large" target (figuring that might be different than lite). So after reading the README, I typed: gmake tars The first thing I ran into (in case someone else trys this on Solaris) is that kitgen's makefile uses "tar xfz". If that fails for you, change your path so that the GNU tar comes first, so that the files can be extracted. Another note for people using kitgen, each time the gmake tars fails, you need to delete all the directories so they can be recreated. Next problem - the gmake large attemps to build the Thread extension - but it isn't one of the ones downloaded from the web site. You need to get that yourself and put it into the 8.x directory. When I realized this, I decided to look for itcl or incrtcl, to be certain that it is built. kitgen doesn't build it. So, I'm back where I was at the beginning. It doesn't look like kitgen will create an original tclkit. On the other hand, this exchange did allow me to rediscover the directory where the genkit script is located. Now to see if I can get it to run.
