WARNING!

THIS DOCUMENT IS UNDER HEAVY DEVELOPMENT AND CORRESPONDS ONLY TO THE ES-MAKE BRANCH

Linux-x86

Prerequisits

In this example we use the example directory /home/user/eiffel. That means the binary EiffelStudio would be installed at /home/user/eiffel/Eiffel60 and the trunk at /home/user/eiffel/trunk. This documentation will have these paths as examples, so please replace them if you use different paths.

To compile EiffelStudio, you need an already working EiffelStudio compiler (which comes with the precompiled EiffelStudio installation) on your machine. The current source tree requires at least version 6.0 of EiffelStudio. You can download the precompiled version from http://eiffelsoftware.origo.ethz.ch/downloads/builds/. Read the existing documentation to install EiffelStudio.

To checkout the latest source code from the repository, you need subversion installed.

Also be sure to have the the gtk2.0 development library (for ubuntu it would be the package libgtk2.0-dev) and the xtst development library (ubuntu: libxtst-dev) installed

Downloading Source Code

Go to the directory where you want to have the EiffelStudio source code (/home/user/eiffel). Now check out the sources from the repository.

cd /home/user/eiffel
Svn co https://eiffelsoftware.origo.ethz.ch/svn/es/branches/es-make trunk

Setting Environmental Variables

These environmental variables need to be set: ISE_EIFFEL, ISE_PLATFORM (these two should already be set from EiffelStudio installation), ISE_LIBRARY, EIFFEL_SRC, GOBO. As well the binarypaths for gobo and EiffelStudio need to be added to the PATH variable.

There are two different ways for doing this: either set it temporary for this session (don't restart the terminal) or set it permanantly in your .bashrc

• Temporary

(don't restart the terminal during the compilation, all variables will be lost!)

export EIFFEL_SRC= home/user/eiffel/trunk/Src
export ISE_EIFFEL= home/user/eiffel/Eiffel60
export ISE_PLATFORM=linux-x86
export ISE_LIBRARY=${EIFFEL_SRC}
export PATH=${PATH}:${ISE_EIFFEL}/studio/spec/${ISE_PLATFORM}/bin:${EIFFEL_SRC}/library/gobo/bin

• Permanent

edit your /home/user/.bashrc and add these lines:

ISE_EIFFEL="/home/user/eiffel/Eiffel60"
ISE_PLATFORM="linux-x86"
EIFFEL_SRC="/home/user/eiffel/trunk/Src"
ISE_LIBRARY="${EIFFEL_SRC}"
PATH=${PATH}:${ISE_EIFFEL}/studio/spec/${ISE_PLATFORM}/bin:${EIFFEL_SRC}/library/gobo/svn/bin
GOBO="/home/user/eiffel/trunk/Src/library/gobo/svn
export ISE_EIFFEL ISE_PLATFORM EIFFEL_SRC ISE_LIBRARY PATH GOBO

IMPORTANT: You need to restart the terminal for the changes to take effect

Compiling and Installing Gobo tools

The Gobo tools source code is already included in the SVN checkout of the Eiffel source

Compiling EiffelStudio

Now go to trunk/Src/scripts, run the check_setup script

cd $EIFFEL_SRC/scripts
geant -b check_setup.eant
