Installation of C2C

Requirements

To bootstrap/install C2C the following tools are needed:

  • gcc
  • make

Basic installation

The fastest way to just get c2c up and running is just following the next steps. The explanation of what that does is below.

cd
mkdir ~/bin
ln -s ~/code/c2compiler/output/c2c/c2c ~/bin/c2c
ln -s ~/code/c2compiler/output/c2tags/c2tags ~/bin/c2tags
mkdir code
git clone [email protected]:c2lang/c2_libs.git
git clone [email protected]:c2lang/c2compiler.git
cd c2compiler
. ./env.sh
make -C bootstrap
./install_plugins.sh
c2c
./output/tester/tester test

Explanation

To be usable, c2c needs to be in your $PATH. This is done above by adding it to ~/bin. This directory should be in your $PATH, otherwise c2c and c2tags cannot be found.

c2c uses the following enviroment variables:

  • C2_LIBDIR - used to find libraries for compilation
  • C2_PLUGINDIR - used to find plugins for the compiler

The easiest way to set these is to source env.sh in the c2compiler archive top-level directory.

The install_plugins.sh script simply copies the compiled plugins to ~/c2_plugins.

Bootstrap description

the bootstrap/ directory contain the C sources of the bootstrap C2 compiler. This must be used because c2c itself is written in C2.
