Sorry, I can't help you with ActiveTcl: I only run Tclkit.

Finally, I managed to find a solution. In the tab packages, I specified
manually a teapot (the default one at /Library/Tcl/teapot).

Then in the basic tab, just below the button to select the prefix file,
there is a button for selecting a base file from the configured teapot
repositories. There, I selected base-tk-thread, and all the missing
packages (like tdom, sqlite3) are now available.

I suppose because it is more recent than the base files that come with TDK?

But unfortunately, the produced executable does not find the packages.
For example, despite tdom has been wrapped, it is not found when the
wrapped executable runs :-(

In the global 'Pefrences' of TclApp you can check and configure where
TclApp is looking for packages. You can configure the set of paths
where .tap files are looked for, and the set of TEApot repositories to
use, local or otherwise.

Yes, that is the second place in TclApp where it is possible to
configure the set of TEApot repositories to search for packages.
Contrary to the global preferences this information is per project,
i.e. saved and loaded with the .tpj file.

One thing to note when looking at the 'Packages' dialog is the text at
the top, just above the filter entry field. It tells you for what
platforms packages are shown. With a prefix it shows tcl packages and
packages matching the platform of the prefix. Without a prefix it
defaults to 'only tcl' and tells you so. In that case (i.e. starkit
generation) explicitly setting a platform to wrap for (Basic tab,
button in bottom left corner) will enable the display and search of
the binary packages for that platform.

That I cannot explain without having more information than you have
given us so far. I can only suspect that you may have a local
configuration (project) error that others won't be able to reproduce.
It is best to just direct these to our support channel so we can help
you directly.

Dear Andreas,

I am not sure what you mean by support channel.
This forum? http://community.activestate.com/forums/tdk-support

I cannot post there: while I am logged in (according to the top of the
page), the rest of the page suggests to login in order to post,
which does not work as login.activestate.com cannot be located.

Regards,

George
