Re: Where to put dll's in starkits

Needing to put dlls in "bin" under MS-Windows is specific to MS-Windows, when
the dlls are searched for and loaded my MS-Windows itself and I think only
applied to Tcl itself being in a dll (shared library).  A starkit includes a
staticly build Tcl interpreter.  Tk is still a shared library (dll), but this
is loaded by Tcl using the load command.

There should not be any reason to to have a "bin" folder.  I think all dlls
should go somewhere under lib.

Do you have a specific package or set of dlls that are handled differently?

However, some packages have dll components that normally reside in the
bin folder of your Tcl/Tk installation. How do you handle these dll
files?  Where do they go?  Is there a way to ask the starkit to check a
certain place for any dll's it may need?
