It is self-contained and includes CriTcl, the "C Runtime In Tcl" extension which automatically wraps and compiles C code. Details about this concept can be found on the Tcl'ers Wiki, see the CriTcl page there. A list of what could or should be done is being tracked on the ideas page.

CritBind is a utility script to quickly create merged shared libraries, as well as custom executables. See the read me file for details. With CritBind you can deploy the C code which CriTcl compiled for you.

Requirements differ from one package to the next. Most packages listed below use C code and rely on CriTcl, which requires gcc and Tcl 8.1 or later for stubs support. Some of the packages below might use features from a more recent version of Tcl (development takes place under Tcl 8.4).

Installation consists of unpacking the distribution and moving the "critlib/" directory to a spot where Tcl's package loader will find it. The "pkgtest.tcl" script exercises each package a bit (see the test output). Most packages have only been used on Linux and Windows NT4 (MinGW) so far.
