<i>Accent</i> is distributed as compressed <i>tar</i> file
<
tt>accent-
0.
9pre6.tar.gz</
tt>.
<p>
To unpack this file, type
<
pre>
gunzip accent-
0.
9pre6.tar.gz
tar -xvf accent-
0.
9pre6.tar
</
pre>
This creates a directory <
tt>accent-
0.
9pre6</
tt>
with the following subdirectories:
<
ul>
<
li>
<
tt>accent</
tt><
br>
the C
code of the Accent compiler compiler
<
li>
<
tt>art</
tt><
br>
the C
code of the Accent runtime
<
li>
<
tt>run</
tt><
br>
the Accent specification of a
small example
<
li>
<
tt>doc</
tt><
br>
the documentation
<
li>
<
tt>generate</
tt><
br>
the Gentle
code of the Accent compiler compiler<
br>
(this is only required if you want to modify the
Accent compiler compiler)
</
ul>
<p>
Go to directory <
tt>accent</
tt> and type
<
pre>
build
</
pre>
This creates the Accent compiler compiler
which is required to process your grammar.
<p>
Go to directory <
tt>art</
tt> and type
<
pre>
build
</
pre>
This creates the Accent runtime which
must be linked to your language processor.
<p>
To test your installation,
go to directory <
tt>run</
tt> and type
<
pre>
build
</
pre>
This generates and executes a
small language processor:
a simple desk calculator.
<p>
(See <i><a href=
"usage.html">Using the Accent Compiler Compiler</a></i>
for a description of this example.)
