Version 8 of Tcllib Location

Updated 2007-09-12 21:14:32 by AF

This page provides information about the location of Tcllib.


The official home is the Sourceforge project http://sourceforge.net/projects/tcllib/ . You can download the latest release packages from here. It also provides the CVS repository used by the Tcllib developers, mailings lists, bug trackers, and official releases.

The main website for the Tcl/Tk comunity has a page for Tcllib as well, this is http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcllib/ .

Additionally, ftp://www.tcl.tk/pub/tcl/nightly-cvs/ is a source for snapshots of the library.

Tcllib (and everything it contains) is also included as a part of the ActiveTcl Batteries Included distribution as well as other distributions, such as kitten.


Documentation for each module is available at http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/doc/index.html (Official location), and also at http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Tcl/Reference/ (ActiveTcl Online Reference).


To checkout Tcllib from CVS on a unix/linux system:

Change to a temporary working directory. Do a cvs checkout like this:

 cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/tcllib login
 cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/tcllib co -r tcllib-1-10 tcllib

Now you have a CVS version of the 1.10 version around. Follow the instructions under Tcllib Installation to install it. If you want the bleeding edge version from CVS do this instead:

 cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/tcllib login
 cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/tcllib co tcllib

The bleeding edge version may have extra bugfixes and new features.


The aforementioned Sourceforge project is also the official home for other efforts, namely:
