Stable releases

ECL is distributed in source code form, which means you will have to build it. The latest release is available at the project page. The manual has details on how to build ECL on different platforms.

Getting it from CVS

Instead of downloading the archive, you may stay up to date using CVS to pull the latest sources from our archive. If you have a modern version of CVS, the command to get the development sources is

# ADDRESS=anonymous@ecls.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ecls
# cvs -z3 -d:pserver:$ADDRESS checkout ecl

Additionally you can test ECL with Paul Dietz's ANSI test suite. For that you need to download some additional files using

# cvs -z3 -d :pserver:$ADDRESS checkout ecl-test

GIT mirrors

By user request we also host three GIT mirrors of the full CVS history of ECL. They are updated every 15 minutes, just like the anonymous CVS server mentioned before. They can be cloned as follows:

git clone http://ecls.sourceforge.net/git/ecl/.git  # ECL source code
git clone http://ecls.sourceforge.net/git/ecl-doc/.git # ECL documentation
git clone http://ecls.sourceforge.net/git/ecl-test/.git # ECL test suite

Browsing source code

Finally, you can browse the ECL source code and download tarballs with the latest unstable version using our CVS browser.
