| |
| |
| Kimwitu++ is a system that supports the construction of programs that use |
| trees or terms as their main data structure. |
| For the Kimwitu++ web site (including newest version) have a look at |
| its homepage on http://site.informatik.hu-berlin.de/kimwitu++. |
| Kimwitu++ is derived from Kimwitu 4.4, see http://purl.oclc.org/net/kimwitu. |
| |
| |
| |
| How is this distribution structured? |
| |
| Sources: |
| src/* |
| src/Gen.boot/* |
| |
| The Term Processor was made using itself. |
| The src directory contains the `real' *.k (Kimwitu++ input) sources. |
| The src/Gen.boot directory contains the *.{h,cc} kc++-generated files |
| that you need to bootstrap it. |
| A src/Gen.* directory, where * is your target architecture, will be |
| created while kc++ is being made. It will contain (links to) the |
| kc-generated files used for boot-strapping, the compiled .o files |
| and the linked binary executable kc++. |
| |
| Manual: |
| man/man/kc++.1 |
| |
| Tells you all you need to know to invoke kc++ (Kimwitu++). |
| |
| Documentation: |
| doc/* |
| |
| The documentation is not yet avaiable. You can use the documentation |
| for Kimwitu instead, using a short kc->kc++ transition guide. |
| |
| |
| How do I install Kimwitu? |
| |
| Please refer to INSTALL. |
| |
| |
| Which architectures are supported? |
| |
| Kimwitu++ just reads and writes text files, in principle it should run |
| on any architecture you can think of. |
| Development is done mainly on Solaris and GNU/Linux, these will be supported |
| best. Probably also Windows NT. |
| |
| |
| Do I need a running Kimwitu++ to install Kimwitu++? |
| |
| No, you don't. src directory contains everything needed to bootstrap |
| Kimwitu++. |
| |
| |
| Why do you bother me with all this non-sense about bootstrapping and all? |
| |
| If you ever need to apply a patch, you will need to know how to change |
| Kimwitu++, and you will need the `real' *.k sources of Kimwitu++, not the |
| generated *.{h,cc} stuff in src. |
| |
| |
| How do I make changes in Kimwitu++? |
| |
| You don't want to. You ask us to change Kimwitu++ if you find anything that |
| needs to be changed. |
| |
| But, if you need to change anything in the sources of Kimwitu++, you should |
| make your change in the src directory, *not* in the Gen.* directory, because |
| the contents of that directory will be overwritten during the making of the |
| new Kimwitu++. |
| Note that in this case you will *need* a running Kimwitu++ to build the new |
| one. After making your changes, execute `make' or `make s1' in the src |
| directory. If everything is ok, you will find a new binary src/Gen.*/kc++_s1. |
