Installing EiffelStudio
To compile EiffelStudio, you need an already working EiffelStudio compiler on your machine. The current source tree requires at least version 5.7 of EiffelStudio. You can download it from http://eiffelsoftware.origo.ethz.ch/builds. This version still requires a registration (we missed to remove the registration cluster while compiling).
If you are a student of the Software Architecture course, you should have received a key by mail. If you are a regular ETH student, please contact Bernd Schoeller. Anybody else, please contact Eiffel Software for a valid key.
Extracting source code
Checking out from SVN
Define the EIFFEL_SRC environment variable. Usually we use the XXdev convention where XX is the version number from the current developped version of the compiler.
Make sure that ISE_EIFFEL, ISE_PLATFORM and ISE_C_COMPILER (on windows only) are properly defined
Perform the following checkout procedures:
Windows
set SVNURL=https://eiffelsoftware.origo.ethz.ch/svn/es svn co %SVNURL%/trunk/Src -N 57dev svn co %SVNURL%/trunk/Src/bench/C 57dev/C svn co %SVNURL%/trunk/Src/bench/Eiffel 57dev/Eiffel svn co %SVNURL%/trunk/Src/common 57dev/Eiffel/common svn co %SVNURL%/trunk/Delivery -N 57dev/Delivery svn co %SVNURL%/trunk/free_add_ons 57dev/free_add_ons cd 57dev svn up C_library svn up dotnet svn up library svn up library.net svn up tools
Bash
export SVNURL=https://eiffelsoftware.origo.ethz.ch/svn/es svn co $SVNURL/trunk/Src -N 57dev svn co $SVNURL/trunk/Src/bench/C 57dev/C svn co $SVNURL/trunk/Src/bench/Eiffel 57dev/Eiffel svn co $SVNURL/trunk/Src/common 57dev/Eiffel/common svn co $SVNURL/trunk/Delivery -N 57dev/Delivery svn co $SVNURL/trunk/free_add_ons 57dev/free_add_ons cd 57dev svn up C_library svn up dotnet svn up library svn up library.net svn up tools
Installing gobo
You have to unzip the gobo distribution from $EIFFEL_SRC/free_add_ons/gobo/gobo_34_win.tgz and extract it into $EIFFEL_SRC/library.
Please make sure to use the version provided or the very latest version from CVS. All other versions (including the official 3.4 release) will not work because of name clashes in the UC_STRING class between GOBO and EiffelStudio.
Compiling C libraries
Compiling run-time on Windows
Before being able to compile the run-time, you need to ensure that bash is in your PATH. You can download it from http://www.cygwin.com. Once done you can do:
cd $EIFFEL_SRC/C configure [win32|win64] [b|m]
The first argument indicated whether you are compiling the run-time for 32 or 64 bits. The second one is to tell which C compiler will be used. For now only `b' (Borland) and `m' (Microsoft) are officially supported. We also informally support `g' (GCC) and `l' (LCC).
On Windows 32 bits to clean up all the generated files you do:
configure clean
On Windows 64 bits, you do:
configure cleand
Compiling run-time on Unix
The command is simply:
./quick_configure
This requires that ISE_PLATFORM is properly defined. The `quick_configure' script will look for the file CONFIGS/$ISE_PLATFORM and use it to extract the platform specific information to compile the run-time. If not found then an error will be reported.
Compiling C code from libraries
Here is the list of commands to compile all required C libraries on Windows:
cd $EIFFEL_SRC/library/net/Clib make_msc.bat cd $EIFFEL_SRC/library/vision2/Clib make_msc.bat cd $EIFFEL_SRC/library/wel/Clib make_msc.bat
On Unix it is slightly different:
cd $EIFFEL_SRC/library/event/Clib finish_freezing -library cd $EIFFEL_SRC/library/net/Clib finish_freezing -library cd $EIFFEL_SRC/library/vision2/Clib finish_freezing -library cd $EIFFEL_SRC/library/vision2/implementation/gtk/Clib finish_freezing -library
Compiling C code from C_library
This is only required on Windows to read PNG file. On Unix, this is not required because it is included in GTK+2.4. Simply do the following:
cd $EIFFEL_SRC/C_library/zlib make_msc.bat cd $EIFFEL_SRC/C_library/libpng make_msc.bat
Compiling C code from compiler
This is only required on Windows as this C code is a tiny wrapper around the Microsoft C++ API to generate and to debug .NET code.
To compile it, you first need to install the Microsoft .NET SDK. You can download it from their website.
After installing it, you need to update your LIB and INCLUDE environment variable to include the path the lib and include directory of the .NET Framework SDK.
Once properly installed, you can do:
cd $EIFFEL_SRC/Eiffel/library/cli_writer/Clib nmake
Compiling EiffelStudio
Now that we have taken care of the C code compilation we can compile the compiler. There are four ace files in $EIFFEL_SRC/Eiffel/Ace:
- batch.mswin.ace
- newbench.mswin.ace
- batch.unix.ace
- newbench.linux.ace
The first two are for windows, the last two for unix (even if the last one says `linux').
To compile simply do:
ec -ace <chosen_ace_file> -c_compile
Windows specific
At the end of the compilation for the workbench version, the C compilation will fail reporting an undefined reference to `nbref'. This is because the ace file has been built for the finalized version of EiffelStudio not the workbench version. To fix this problem do the following:
copy ec.lnk h
Then edit the file `h' and replace mtcompiler.lib by mtwcompiler.lib. Once this is done you can complete you do:
link @h
In order to update to the new version of metadata consumer tool, follow the instructions described here.
Unix specific
Like the windows version the C compilation, it will fail, but this time for two reasons:
- nbref
- linking order causing many errors to be reported
Here is the recommended way, make a copy of the generated Makefile and put it at the same level as your EIFGEN directory. Edit it and replace libmtcompiler.a by libmtwcompiler.a, then search for "$(EXTERNALS) $(EIFLIB)" and replace it by "$(EIFLIB) $(EXTERNALS)". Once this is done, you can do:
make -f ../../Makefile
A little script that does the necessary changes: Place it at the same level as the EIFGEN directory is.
#!/bin/bash cp EIFGEN/W_code/Makefile . sed 's/libmtcompiler\.a/libmtwcompiler\.a/g' Makefile > tmp sed 's/\$(EXTERNALS) \$(EIFLIB)/\$\(EIFLIB\) \$\(EXTERNALS\)/g' tmp > Makefile cd EIFGEN/W_code make -f ../../Makefile
