Getting Started

content

Here are the minimal steps to get SableCC running.

1) If you got sablecc-3.2.tar.gz or sablecc-3.2.zip (binary packages)

  1. Decompress the file sablecc-3.2.tar.gz or sablecc-3.2.zip:
    	  tar -xzvf sablecc-3.2.tar.gz
    or
    	  jar -xvf sablecc-3.2.zip
  2. Go into the in sablecc-3.2 directory:
    	  cd sablecc-3.2
  3. You will find an executable sablecc.jar file in the lib directory:
    	  java -jar lib/sablecc.jar

This is it. If you have Ant installed on your system, you can install SableCC with the command:

	ant -Dinstall.dir=destination install

Otherwise, you can manually install SableCC as follow: You should first copy (and edit) the files lib/sablecc.jar and bin/sablecc (GNU/Linux, Mac, Unix) or bin\sablecc.bat (Windows) to an appropriate location, and set your PATH environment variable appropriately.

2) If you got sablecc-3.2-src.tar.gz (source package)

  1. Decompress the file sablecc-3.2-src.tar.gz:
    	  tar -xzvf sablecc-3.2-src.tar.gz
  2. Go into the in sablecc-3.2 directory:
    	  cd sablecc-3.2
  3. If you want an automatic build process, you need to have Ant installed on your system. Simply type:
    	  ant -Dinstall.dir=destination install
