Juli Programming Language

README v. 0.0.4

1. Getting started

a) Linux

This procedure was tested only on Ubuntu 12.04 so far. Please report any experiences with other systems.

SCons Build System

The project and some dependencies require the scons build system. It can be installed as follows:

• Download (Zip) scons from http://www.scons.org/
• Extract the archive
• cd to the scons directory
• sudo python setup.py install

Dependencies

In order to be able to compile the project, some dependencies need to be installed:

1. LLVM

• cd where-you-want-llvm-to-live
• svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm
• cd llvm/tools
• svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk clang
• cd ../projects
• svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/compiler-rt/trunk compiler-rt
• cd ..
• configure
• make

2. ANTLR3C

• Download libantlr3c-3.4.tar.gz from http://www.antlr.org/download/C (make sure you download the correct version)
• Extract the files to the directoy of your choice. antlr3c-dir will refer to this directory in the following.
• cd antlr3c-dir
• ./configue
• ./configure --enable-64bit on 64-bit systems
• make

3. cpputils

• cd where-you-want-cpputils-to-live
• git clone git://github.com/Haensel2000/cpputils.git cpputils
• cd cpputils
• scons

Compile

• cd where-you-want-juli-to-live
• git clone git://github.com/Haensel2000/juli.git juli
• cd juli/compiler
• scons llvm=path-to-llvm llvm-build=path-to-llvm/Debug+Asserts cpputils=path-to-cpputils antlr3c=path-to-antlr3c

Running the samples:

• Add path-to-juli/compiler/build/ to your PATH
• cd path-to-juli/builder

To compile the linked_list test sample:

java -cp bin/:lib/commons-cli-1.2.jar juli.builder.Builder -o test.out -b ../samples/build/ ../samples/src/test.jl ../samples/src/linked_list.jl

You can write your own code and compile it the same way. For a more thorough introduction please refer to the wiki at https://github.com/Haensel2000/juli/wiki

b) Mac OS X

Have fun!
