How To Build The Simple Compiler and Runtime Library

Requirements

Before attempting to build the Simple compiler and runtime library, you need to have the following software installed on your computer:

• Java SDK 1.6 or newer
• Android SDK 1.5 or newer
• Ant version 1.7 or newer

Setup

After downloading or checking out the Simple source code, you need to set following environment variables: * JAVA_HOME needs to point to the root directory of your Java SDK installation * ANDROID_HOME needs to point to the root directory of your Android SDK installation * SIMPLE_HOME needs to point to the root directory of the Simple source distribution plus /dist plus the one of /linux, /mac or/windows (e.g. /home/name/simple/dist/linux)

Building

On Mac or Linux execute the following commands: cd <root of your Simple source distribution> ant clean all chmod +x ${SIMPLE_HOME}/simplec

On Windows execute the following commands: cd <root of your Simple source distribution> ant clean all

The built Simple compiler can now be found in SIMPLE_HOME. On Windows its name is simplec.bat, on Mac or Linux it is simplysimplec.
