6 build - Building From Source The C runtime is provided in source code
7 form only as there are too many binary versions to sensibly maintain
8 binaries on www.antlr.org.
9
10 The runtime code is provided with .sln and .vcproj files for Visual
11 Studio 2005 and 2008, and configure files for building and installation
12 on UNIX or other systems that support this tool. If your system is
13 neither Windows nor configure compatible, then you should find it
14 reasonable to build the code manually (see section 'Building
15 Manually'.)
16
18 The source code expands from a tar/zip file to give you the following
19 directories:
20
21 • ./ The location of the configure script and the antlr3config.h file
22 generated by the running the configure script.This directory also
23 contains the solution and project files for visual studio 2005 and
24 2008.
25
26 • ./src The location of all the C files in the project.
27
28 • ./include The location of all the header files for the project
29
30 • ./doxygen The location of documentation files such as the one that
31 generates this page
32
33 • Other ancillary directories used by the build or documentation
34 process.
35
37 If you are building for Cygwin, or a similar UNIX on Windows System,
38 follow the 'Building With Configure' instructions below.
39
40 Note that the runtime is no longer compatible with the VC6 Microsoft
41 compiler. If you absolutely need to build with this compiler, you can
42 probably hack the source code to deall with the pieces that VC6 cannot
43 handle such as the ULL suffix for constants.
44
45 If you wish to build the binaries for Windows using Visual Studio 2005,
46 or 2008 you may build using the IDE:
47
48 1. Open the C.sln file
49
50 2. Select batch Build from the Build menu
51
52 3. Select all configurations and press the build button.
53
54 If you wish or need to build the libraries from the command line, then
55 you must use a Windows command shell configured for access to
56 VS2005/VS2008 compilers, such as the one that is started from:
57
58 Start->Microsoft Visual Studio 2005->Visual Studio Tools->Visual Studio
59 2005 Command Prompt
60
61 There appears to be no way to build all targets at once in a batch mode
62 from the command line, so you may build one or all of the following:
63
64 C:ntlrsrc C:ntlrsrc C:ntlrsrc C:ntlrsrc
65
66 After the build is complete you will find the in a subdirectory named after the /Build target. In the Release and Debug targets, you will find that there is only a which you can link directly into your own projects if you wish to avoid the DLL. In
67 batim
68
69
70 • ReleaseDLL : ANTLR3C.DLL and ANTLR3C_DLL.LIB
71
72 • DebugDLL : ANTLR3CD.DLL and ANTLR3CD_DLL.LIB
73
74 • Release : ANTLR3C.LIB
75
76 • Debug : ANTLR3CD.LIB
77
78 There currently no .msi modules or other installs built for Windows, so you must place the DLLs in a directory referenced
79 by the PATH environment variable and make the include directory available to your project configurations.
80
81
82 tion configure Building with configure
83
84 Before starting, make sure that you are using a source code distribution and not the source code directly from the
85 Perforce repository. If you use the source from the perforce tree directly, you will find that there is no configure
86 script as this is generated as part of the distribution build by the maintainers. If you feel the need to build from
87 the distribution tree then you must have all the autobuild packages available on your system and can generate the
88 configure script using autoreconf. If you are not familiar with these tools, then please use the tgz files in the
89 dist subdirectory (or downloaded from the ANTLR web site).
90
91 The source code file should be expanded in a directory of your choice (probably your working directory) using the command:
92
93 batim
94 c
95 o
96 gzip -dc antlrtgzname.tar.gz | tar xvf - n
97 f
98 Where: <b>antlrtgzname.tar.gz</b> is of course the name of the tar when you downloaded it. You should find a iscript in the sub directory thus created.
99 g
100 The configure script accepts the usual options, such as --prefix= but the default is to build in the source duirectory and to place libraries in
101 <b>/usr/local/lib</b> and include files (for building your recognizers) in <b>/usr/local/include</b>. There arre also a number of antlr specific options, which you may wish to utilize. The command:
102 batim e
103
104
105 ./configure --help
106
107 Will document the latest incarnations of these options in case this documentation is ever out of date. At this time the options are:
108
109 batim
110
111
112 --enable-debuginfo Compiles debug info into the library (default no)
113 --enable-64bit Turns on flags that produce 64 bit object code if any
114 are required (default no)
115
116 Unless you need 64 bit builds, or a change in library types, you will generally use the configure command without options:
117
118 Here is a sample configure output:
119

185 You are now ready to generate C recognizers and compile and link them with the ANTLR 3 C Runtime.

188 tion buildman Building Manually
189 a c
190 The only step that configure performs that cannuot beo done
191 manually (without effort) is to produce the heatder fnile
192 that your local C compiler supports. The easiesot wayf to produce
193 this file for your system, if you cannot port mand i
194 to the system is: a g
195 k u
196 -# Run configure on a system that does supporteconfrigure
197 -# Copy the generated -# Edit the file locally and echange any types that differ on this
198 system to the target systems. There are only a few types and you should
199 find this relatively easy.
200
201 Having produced a compatible antlr3config.h file, then you should be able to
202 compile the source files in the to the location of to:
203 batim
204
205
206 ~/C/src: cc -c -O -I.. -I../include *.c
207
208 Having produced the .o (or equivalent) files for the local system you can then
209 build an archive or shared library for the C runtime.
210
211 When you wish to build and link with the C runtime, specify the path to the
212 supplied header files, and the path to the library that you built.
