This describes how to setup your environment for use with DemeterF on CCIS machines. I use the .software file in my home directory to set up the path and the class path. http://www.ccs.neu.edu/howto/howto-environment.html Put PATH=/arch/unix/bin/javacc into your .software file. This will put the javacc executable into your path. Put /home/chadwick/www/demeterf/demeterf.jar at the end of your class path. Your class path might look like: CLASSPATH=.:/something:/home/chadwick/www/demeterf/demeterf.jar Make sure the current directory (.) is in your class path. Call resoft after you have done those updates and DemeterF is ready. To test your installation, start with using DemFGen. Copy all files in /home/lieber/.www/courses/csg113/f08/DemFGen-directory into one of your directories and call compile This should generate the Java classes and the compile them. Then call run and this will run the simple program and print out the same information that was read in from program.input. To test your installation further, copy all files in /home/lieber/.www/courses/csg113/f08/DemeterF/baskets and call compile and then run. The program magically replaces fruits in the baskets. Please note the clean command: When you make changes to the class dictionary it is sometimes needed to remove all the generated code using the clean command. PS. javacc documentation: You don't really need this, but if you are curious: Documentation and examples are in /arch/unix/packages/javacc-4.1/doc and /arch/unix/packages/javacc-4.1/examples.
