To successfully build and install the Yodl package, the following tools must be present:
  • A C compiler and run-time environment. A POSIX-compliant compiler, libraries and set of header files should work without problems. The GNU gcc compiler 2.7 and above should work without a flaw.
  • GNU make
  • Typical building programs, such as, install. Most Unixes will have these.
  • /bin/sh: a POSIX-compliant shell interpreter. The GNU shell interpreter bash works without problems.
  • A number of `standard' tools should be present: sed, grep, etc.. These tools must furthermore include the code generators bison and flex (yacc- and lex lookalikes) to genererate the grammar parsers. The GNU implementations of these tools work like a charm.
  • A command that converts groff input into viewable format. The default setting for this command is troff -Tascii -man.

  • Go back to index of Yodl.
