Critcl - How To Get The Sources

```

```

## NAME

critcl\_sources - Critcl - How To Get The Sources

## DESCRIPTION

*C Runtime In Tcl*, or *CriTcl* , is a system for compiling C code embedded in Tcl on the fly and either loading the resulting objects into Tcl for immediate use or packaging them for distribution.  Use *CriTcl* to improve performance by rewriting in C those routines that are performance bottlenecks.

The audience of this document is anyone wishing to either have just a look at Critcl's source code, or build the packages, or to extend and modify them.

For builders and developers we additionally provide

- \[1\]

  *Critcl - License*.

- \[2\]

  *Critcl - The Installer's Guide*.

- \[3\]

  *Critcl - The Developer's Guide*.

respectively.

## SOURCE LOCATION

The official repository for Critcl can be found at *http://andreas-kupries.github.com/critcl*

## RETRIEVAL

Assuming that you simply wish to look at the sources, or build a specific revision, the easiest way of retrieving it is to:

- \[1\]

  Go to this site.

- \[2\]

  Follow the 'Fork me on Github' link (top-right corner) to the project sources.

- \[3\]

  Choose the revision under the Commits panel you wish to have and

- \[4\]

  follow its 'Browse code' link to its detailed information page.

- \[5\]

  On that page, choose either the "ZIP" link to get a copy of this revision as a Zip archive.

## SOURCE CODE MANAGEMENT

For the curious (or a developer-to-be), the sources are managed by the *Git SCM* \[http://www.git-scm.com\]. Binaries for popular platforms can be found directly at its *download page* \[http://www.fossil-scm.org/downloads\].

With that tool available the full history can be retrieved via:

```
    git clone http://github.com/andreas-kupries/critcl
    cd critcl
```

to get a checkout of the head of the trunk and move into it for browsing, editing, etc.
