Bootstrapping the TL Compiler

• Make sure that the Tycoon Machine and all *.o-Files are up-to-date:

  cd ${TYCOON_ROOT}
  make
  

  If errors occur:
  • Set the configuration:

    sh configure

  • Remove all old object files:

    make clean

  • Try again.

• For the following steps you need a Tycoon Machine (see above) and an initial Tycoon compiler, consisting of the following files:

  ${TYCOON_ROOT}/boot/tycoon.x
  ${TYCOON_ROOT}/boot/tlSyntax.data.x
  ${TYCOON_ROOT}/boot/cmdSyntax.data.x
  ${TYCOON_ROOT}/boot/importSyntax.data.x
  ${TYCOON_ROOT}/boot/boot.tyc
  

  If any of these files is missing, copy it from someone else, or get it from a backup tape.

• The simple, long way:

  cd ${TYCOON_ROOT}/src
  sh Boot/strap
  sh Boot/generateTLParser.sh
  sh Boot/generateCmdParser.sh
  

  All modules are compiled, if necessary.

• Shortcut: Generate a new compiler (tycoon.x):

  make tycoon
  do makeLibraries Boot;
  import tycoon;
  tycoon.generateBootFile("tycoon.x");
  do exit;
  

• Shortcut: Generate new parsers (tlSyntax.data.x, cmdSyntax.data.x, importSyntax.data.x):

  make tycoon
  do makeLibraries Boot;
  import tlSyntaxUnit :Main;
  tlSyntaxUnit.main(array "tlSyntax.data.x" "importSyntax.data.x" end);
  import tySyntaxCommand :Main;
  tySyntaxCommand.main(array "cmdSyntax.data.x" end);
  do exit;
  

• Shortcut: Change of an implementation module (implMod.tm):

  make tycoon
  do makeLibraries Boot;
  do load "tl0/implMod.tm";
  

  Proceed as above, depending on implMod.tm: generate new compiler and/or parsers.

• Shortcut: Change of an interface module:

  make tycoon
  do makeLibraries Boot;
  do make tycoon;
  do make tlSyntaxUnit;
  do make tySyntaxCommand;
  

  Proceed as above, generate new compiler and/or parsers.
