There's also the tool TYPO3 Extension Utils available, with which you're able to pack an extension as .t3x. On Linux this looks like this.

Get the tool.

wget http://bit.ly/t3xutils -O t3xutils.phar

Make it executable.

chmod +x t3xutils.phar

Pack the extension.

./t3xutils.phar create [ext_key] [path_to_ext] [some_name.t3x]

Just replace the placeholders in square brackets with real values. [path_to_ext] has to point to the source files (not an archive) of the (modified) extension.

TBH I'm not sure if it's possible at all. On the other hand, you don't need to pack extension to t3x as TYPO3 (at least in version 6+) handles .zip files as well in the Extension Manager (EM).

Just go to EM, find the ext and click on Download as .zip icon in Actions column.

So you can install it anywhere by using EM too...

For TYPO3 ver 4.x you can zip extension's folder yourself, and unzip it in other instance and than just use EM to activate it.

If you really want to create t3x still, take a look at the bottom of QA section in this TYPO3 wiki page
