It's useful to be able to make a checkout of the current Tcl sources with their “standard batteries” included. Here's how to do that.

Clone the Repositories edit
in your home directory…
fossil clone http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/ tcl.fossil
fossil clone http://core.tcl.tk/itcl/ itcl.fossil
fossil clone http://core.tcl.tk/tclconfig/ tclconfig.fossil
fossil clone http://core.tcl.tk/thread/ thread.fossil
or with user name and password:
% fossil clone https://username:passwd@core.tcl.tk/tcl tcl.fossil
Construct the Checkout edit
Instructions for Unix (assuming you develop in
~/tcl)
mkdir ~/tcl
cd ~/tcl
fossil open ~/tcl.fossil trunk
# mv _FOSSIL_ .fos
cd pkgs
mkdir itcl
mkdir thread
cd itcl
fossil open --nested ~/itcl.fossil trunk
# mv _FOSSIL_ .fos
mkdir tclconfig
cd tclconfig
fossil open --nested ~/tclconfig.fossil trunk
# mv _FOSSIL_ .fos
cd ../../thread
fossil open --nested ~/thread.fossil trunk
# mv _FOSSIL_ .fos
mkdir tclconfig
cd tclconfig
fossil open --nested ~/tclconfig.fossil trunk
# mv _FOSSIL_ .fos
(current fossil no longer creates _FOSSIL_)
Build the Checkout edit
Assuming you want your build in
/tmp/tcl8.6; adjust to taste…
cd ~/tcl/unix
`pwd`/configure --prefix=/tmp/tcl8.6
make
Then run the tests...
make test
And install so you can try running real code
make install
/tmp/tcl8.6/bin/tclsh8.6
Change password on core.tcl.tk edit
