sketch
Sketch
is so small that compiling by brute force is probably
best. The following command ought to do the trick on any
systems where gcc
is installed. Make sure to first change
current directories to the place where you have unpacked the sources.
gcc *.c -o sketch.exe -lm
The .exe at the end is necessary for Windows systems. Drop it if your system is some version of Unix. Other C compilers ought to work as just as well. For example,
cl *.c -o sketch.exe
is the correct command for many versions of MS Visual C. In the
latest versions, Microsoft has deprecated the -o
option and, by
default, does not define the __STDC__
macro. This causes
problems with some versions of flex
, bison
, lex
,
and yacc
, which are used to create the sketch
scanner
and parser. It's nearly always possible to find a set of options that
compiles with no errors or warnings, and this means sketch
is
very likely to work correctly. For example, the Visual C++
2005 Express Edition compiler (available free of charge from the
Microsoft web site), flex
version 2.5.4, and bison
version 2.1 build error-free with
cl -DYY_NEVER_INTERACTIVE=1 -Za -Ox -Fesketch.exe *.c
For purists, there is also a makefile
compatible with GNU
make
and gcc
. The command
make
will build the executable, including the rebuilding of the scanner and
parser with flex
and bison
if you have changed
sketch.l or sketch.y
respectively.
