---++ Download distribution
First download [[StrategoRelease091][Stratego XT 0.9.1]].
The instructions on this page assume that you have downloaded a distribution.
See the [[Latest Sources]] topic for instructions on how to prepare the sources
you've checked out from the Subversion repository.
---++ Using source tarballs
Use the instructions in this section if you want to install StrategoXT using source tarballs (=.tar.gz=).
---+++ Download and install dependencies
StrategoXT is built using the ATermLibrary, Sdf.SGLR, Sdf.PGEN, and
optionally the Nancy [[Choice Point Library]] (CPL) (with some adaptations for Stratego). Sdf.SGLR and Sdf.PGEN
are available as part of the sdf2 bundle of tools for the SDF syntax definition formalism.
* [[ftp://ftp.stratego-language.org/pub/stratego/aterm/aterm-1.6.7.tar.gz][aterm-1.6.7.tar.gz]]
* [[ftp://ftp.stratego-language.org/pub/stratego/sdf2/sdf2-1.5.tar.gz][sdf2-1.5.tar.gz]]
* [[ftp://ftp.stratego-language.org/pub/stratego/stratego/cpl-stratego-0.4.tar.gz][cpl-stratego-0.4.tar.gz]]
Using more recents versions of these packages is at your own risk, but should work.
The following sequence of commands takes care of building and installing the aterm and
sdf2 bundle from source:
DIR=/usr/local
tar zxf aterm-1.6.7.tar.gz
cd aterm-1.6.7
./configure --prefix=$DIR --with-gcc
make
make install
cd ..
tar zxf sdf2-1.5.tar.gz
cd sdf2-1.5
./configure --prefix=$DIR --with-aterm=$DIR
make install
cd ..
sdf2-1.5 cannot be build without being installed at the same time. Therefore you must build and install it at the same time (see also a note in the section on the installation of StrategoXT)
Optionally you can install the choice point library:
tar zxf cpl-stratego-0.4.tar.gz
cd cpl-stratego-0.4
./configure --prefix=$DIR
make
make install
cd ..
----+++ Installation of StrategoXT
Unpack and configure StrategoXT with the following commands:
tar zxf strategoxt-0.9.1.tar.gz
cd strategoxt-0.9.1
./configure --prefix=$DIR --with-aterm=$DIR --with-sdf=$DIR
If you intend to modify the sources of StrategoXT, you might want to set the prefix (=DIR=) to the local directory ( =`pwd`= ) or at least a directory where you have write permissions such that it is easy to re-install the compiler.
To use the [[Choice Point Library]] configure StrategoXT as follows:
./configure --prefix=$DIR --with-aterm=$DIR --with-sdf=$DIR --with-cpl=$DIR
For installation proceed as follows
make install
Please note that doing a separate =make= is useless: unfortunately StrategoXT currently cannot be built without being installed at the same time.
