CACAO specific installation instructions ======================================== * CLASSPATH, classfiles & other Java weirdness ---------------------------------------------- Make sure, you have classfiles, which work with cacao. A version of these can be found at ftp://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/pub/java/cacao/classes.zip.gz After the installation of these set the environment variable CLASSPATH to the directories where your class libraries are stored. The environment variable JAVA_HOME (due to a bug this variable is called JAVAHOME in versions less than 0.4) to the java home directory. E. g. if you unzipped classes.zip in the directory /usr/local/lib/java/classes set the environment variable to /usr/local/lib/java/classes and JAVA_HOME to /usr/local/lib/java. * configuring & compiling CACAO ------------------------------- 1. Unpack the tar archive (apparently you have done this, otherwise you wouldn't read this file. 2. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type `./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute `configure' itself. Running `configure' takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for. 3. Type make. After this you should have a working version of cacao and cacaoh. How to invoke cacao and which class library has to be used is described at the CACAO home page (http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/java/cacao/index.html).
