Where is the code? #1

Hello, This library looks interesting, however I don't see where is the code. The description mentions a C Toolkit, plus several modules, but as far as I see there is no C code in this repository. Could you please tell me how to get the code? Thanks!

Hi Thranur, as you probably know the code is distributed in binary form in an interactive Debian-based docker container.

This choice was made almost 3 years ago because someone asked me to keep the source code ownership for an interesting project that unfortunately was never started.

If you want to start using the elle C-toolkit and related tools you only needs to download and run the docker image. So please issue the following commands:

docker pull roccocarbone/elle docker run -it roccocarbone/elle and then please browse the file system at the elle-shell 'lsh' prompt that is organized in an usual Unix-like development tree: |-- bin |-- docs |-- etc |-- include |-- lib |-- log |-- man `-- share

If you also wants to take a look at the C code I will try to create a new container with all sources. but please note that I am currently retaired and lost my main interest in coding

Thank you very much for your reply. I'd be very interested in the C source code. Currently this seems to be the only (in the entire Github!) repository about C code in a medical context.

A container with the sources would be perfect!

Please consider removing this repository from Github. It is polluting results and making it harder to find actual C code related to medical devices.

The Docker image is currently useless and the README mentions several libraries, etc, but none of them is available.

Github is meant for sharing code, fostering software development, not uploading a single binary Docker image and pretending there is some software behind it. It would be better if Github allowed people to filter specific repositories, so that only those containing actual code would be visible, but this is not the case currently, so having this result appear again and again ends up being frustrating...

Hi thranur, This is Rocco's daughter. My father passed away suddenly shortly after his first reply to this thread, a year and a half ago. I have just found this account. I will look into it but I am not a programmer, I will figure out how to modify the repository so I doesn't show up as C code.
