Source Code Installation

LCLint should compile effortlessly on standard Unix systems, and with a bit of effort on non-Unix platforms. If you produce a port for a non-Unix platform, please let me know.

To build LCLint you need:

• a (hopefully ANSI-conforming) C compiler. GNU gcc is recommended, but most modern C compilers should work.
• make, the GNU make utility. If you don't have make installed on your system, download it from ftp.gnu.org.
• standard Unix tools: gzip, tar

Instructions:

1. Download http://lclint.cs.virginia.edu/lclint-2.5m.src.tar.gz.

   Copy this package to the directory where you want to build LCLint. When the tar file is extracted, it will create an lclint-2.5m subdirectory.

2. Uncompress the package: gzip -d lclint-2.5m.src.tar.gz

3. Extract files from the tar archive: tar xf lclint-2.5m.src.tar

4. Run: configure --prefixdir directory

   This will create a Makefile with settings for your system. Use --prefixdir directory if you want to install LCLint in prefix directory directory.

5. Run: gmake

   It is best to do this in an emacs shell or a buffered terminal, so you can scroll through the output.

6. Set environment variables:

   LARCH_PATH - path to search for lclint libraries and initializations files. If you are using the standard directories, this should be .:base-directory/lclint-2.5m/lib.

   LCLIMPORTDIR - directory containing lcl imports files. If you are using the standard directories, this is base-directory/lclint-2.5m/imports.

   Put the commands to set these variables (the actual commands will depend on the shell you are using) in one of your initialization dotfiles (usually ~/.environment).

   Set up your PATH to include the directory containing lclint-2.5m/bin/lclint, or move the binary to a directory on your command path.

7. Run: gmake test

   Examine the test output. If there are errors, send a bug report to lclint-bug@sds.lcs.mit.edu

8. Run: gmake install

   To install LCLint binary and libraries in the directory you used for configure.

9. Subscribe to the lclint-announce mailing list by sending a message to majordomo@virginia.edu containing the body:
