19 Making it yourself

rsltc is open source and you are welcome to build it yourself.

You will need gcc, flex, bison and make (GNU versions all available on the web, http://www.gnu.org or, for Windows, the DJGPP versions from http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/) plus the Gentle Compiler Construction System from http://gentle.compilertools.net/.

Build Gentle first, then select a make file from amongst those supplied, like make_dos or make_solaris (which will also do for Linux) and edit it as necessary, at least to set the path for Gentle. All the real work is in std_make, and the top level make files just set some system dependent things. If your new make file is make_myos, just run make -f make_myos and you should get an executable rsltc (or rsltc.exe on Windows). It only remains to move this to somewhere on your path and make sure you have execute access to it.

If you create a make file for another platform and are willing to share it with others we would be glad to get a copy and include it in future releases.
