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.
