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:

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:
