[incr Tcl] is an object system for the Tcl programming language.
|
|
|
|
[incr Tcl] provides the extra language support needed to build large Tcl/Tk
|
|
applications. It introduces the notion of objects, which act as building
|
|
blocks for an application. Each object is a bag of data with a set of
|
|
procedures or "methods" that are used to manipulate it. Objects are
|
|
organized into "classes" with identical characteristics, and classes can
|
|
inherit functionality from one another. This object-oriented paradigm adds
|
|
another level of organization on top of the basic variable/procedure
|
|
elements, and the resulting code is easier to understand and maintain.
|
|
|
|
It should follow without mentioning that this package depends upon the Tcl
|
|
packages from your Slackware 13.1 distribution disk being installed.
|
|
|
|
As well, [incr Tcl], as part of its build process, looks into the Tcl
|
|
sources for some header files. This means that in order to compile [incr
|
|
Tcl] that the Slackware Tcl source package needs to be present. You can
|
|
either download the Slackware Tcl source package from a slackware mirror
|
|
using the provided link or copy the tcl8.5.8-src.tar.xz file from your
|
|
Slackware install disk. The tcl8.5.8-src.tar.xz source file should be in
|
|
the same directory as the itcl.Slackbuild script, and the Slackbuild script
|
|
will unpack the tcl8.5.8-src.tar.xz source file automatically as part of the
|
|
[incr Tcl] build process. Once [incr Tcl] is built and installed, the Tcl
