-INTERFACE DEFINITION LANGUAGE INSTALLATION GUIDE
--==============================================-
-
-INTRODUCTION
-
-This file describes the installation process for OMG_IDL_CFE version 1.3.
-This file explains how to:
-
-- install the source code
-- modify the sources to customize them for different configurations
-- modify the sources to implement your own back end
-
-TESTED CONFIGURATIONS
-
-This release has been tested and is believed to operate correctly on:
-- SunPro Sparcworks 2.x and 3.0 on SunOS 4.1.x
-- SunPro Sparcworks 2.x and 3.0 on Solaris 2.3
-- g++ 2.5.8 on SunOS 4.1.x
-- g++ 2.5.8 on Solaris 2.3
-
-This is the first release of OMG IDL CFE which is preconfigured to compile
-correctly for Solaris 2.x and with SunPro SparcWorks compilers.
-
-CUSTOMIZATION
-
-The release contains a file idl_make_vars in the current directory, which
-is included in each Makefile. This file defines all the customizable
-variables for the CFE.
-
-OSV should be set to a string denoting the operating system upon which you
-wish to build the CFE. The CFE as shipped is preconfigured to compile
-correctly on Solaris 2.x (OSV=SOLARIS2), and has also been tested on SunOS
-4.1.x (OSV=SUNOS4). It contains code donated by HP which enables it to be
-compiled on Apollo Domain systems (OSV=apollo) and HPUX systems (OSV=hpux),
-but these two configurations have not been tested.
-
-C++ and CCC should be set to identify the C++ compiler you will use to
-compile this release. Their values should be identical. Both are set to
-address differences between various make programs - some predefine CCC,
-others use C++ to denote the C++ compiler. The possible values are CC
-(which uses the Sparcworks compilers on SunOS 4.1 and Solaris 2.3) and g++,
-which uses the installed version of GNU C++.
-
-CCFLAGS should be set to a list of flags to pass to the C++ compiler. As
-shipped, this list is -g. NOTE: We have not extensively tested the release
-with optimization turned on.
-
-CPP_FLAGS should be set to a list of flags to pass to the C++ preprocessor.
-Use this variable to enable or disable specific customizations you make to
-the BE or CFE sources.
-
-YFLAGS should be set to a list of flags to pass to the Yacc program. As
-shipped, the list is -d -t, which causes Yacc to generate y.tab.h and
-y.tab.c files.
-
-LEXFLAGS should be set to a list of flags to pass to the Lex program. As
-shipped, the list -t.
-
-RANLIB should be set to the location of the ranlib program on your system.
-As shipped this is ranlib. If your system has no ranlib you can set this
-variable to ':' or /bin/true. As shipped the variable is preset to
-/bin/true since Solaris 2.x does not use ranlib.
-
-AR should be set to the location of the ar program on your system. As
-shipped this is ar. If your system has a different mechanism for creating
-libraries, you should modify the value of this variable accordingly.
-
-ARFLAGS should be set to the flags to be passed to the ar program. As
-shipped this is 'crv'.
-
-INSTALLATION
-
-a. Disk space requirements
-
-This distribution requires approximately 350 KBytes when compressed. When
-uncompressed, untarred and compiled, approximately 10 MBytes of disk space
-are consumed on a Sun 4.
-
-b. Getting the software
-
-Use anonymous FTP to omg.org and supply your e-mail address as password.
-Change directories to pub/OMG_IDL_CFE_1.3, set bin and get the compressed
-tar file OMG_IDL_CFE_1.3.tar.Z.
-
-The distribution may, in the future, be made available from other archives
-on the Internet. However, omg.org will always have the most up-to-date
-version of this software.
-
-After transferring this file, uncompress it and untar it in a directory of
-your choice.
-
-c. Compiling it
-
-If you are using a Sparcstation running Solaris 2.x and have the SunPro
-Sparcworks compilers installed, you may directly install the software. If
-your hardware or operating system configurations are different, read and
-follow the instructions in the previous section first.
-
-At the root directory of the release, issue
-
-   % make
-
-or
-
-   % make all
-
-This will compile the provided sources and the sources found in the be
-directory. Executing this make target causes 'make all' to be invoked in
-each subdirectory, resulting in building the libraries for each component
-and finally a link step producing an executable IDL compiler.
-
-In order to make only the compiler front end components, without compiling
-the sources found in the be directory and without building an executable,
-issue
-
-  % make libs
-
-This will build the libraries in the ast, fe, util, driver and narrow
-directories. To build only the be, issue
-
-  % make be
-
-To build all libraries without creating an executable, issue
-
-  % make all_libs
-
-To remove all files created by the build process, issue
-
-  % make clean
-
-This will not remove any files created by Yacc and Lex, because you may be
-using the ones provided in the distribution (see below).
-
-d. Yacc and Lex
-
-Some installations may not have a C++ aware Yacc and Lex processor. For
-these installations, we have included the output of yacc and lex in the
-release. If you need to use these files to build the release because you
-don't have access to a C++ capable Yacc or Lex, go to the "fe" directory,
-issue the command:
-
-   % touch lex.yy.cc y.tab.cc y.tab.hh
-
-This will ensure that the processed files appear to be newer than the
-source files they were produced from and will cause "make" to skip their
-production.
-
-NOTE: The files provided in the distribution have been produced on Solaris
-2.3 and may contain OS-specific #include directives. If you intend to use
-these files, you may have to edit them to make them work in your
-environment. The provided files are known to compile cleanly without
-modification with both SunPro Sparcworks compilers and GNU C++ on both
-SunOS 4.1 and Solaris 2.3.  We have not tested the grammar and lexer input
-files with bison or flex.
-
-IMPLEMENTING A BACK END
-
-To implement your own back end, you can start with the provided sources in
-the be directory and modify them. The Makefile understands the 'make all'
-target and will generate libbe.a in the demo_be directory. As set up, the
-variable CPP_FLAGS allows you to place include files either in the current
-directory or in the include directory. Alternatively, you can place your
-include files in a new directory and modify CPP_FLAGS to cause the C++
-preprocessor to search this new directory for referenced include files, by
-adding a new -I directive.
-
-Additional detail on the structure and function of back ends, and on the
-protocol which a back end must implement, are found in the document
-entitled WRITING_A_BE.

-INTERFACE DEFINITION LANGUAGE COMPILER FRONT END
--==============================================-
-
-INTRODUCTION
-
-Welcome to the publicly available source release of SunSoft's
-implementation of the compiler front end (CFE) for OMG Interface Definition
-Language! This is Release 1.3 of the CFE.
-
-The Interface Definition Language (IDL) implementation is divided into
-three parts:
-
-- A main program for driving the compilation process
-- A parser and attendant utilities
-- One or more back ends (BEs) for taking the processed input and producing
-  output in a target language and target format
-
-WARNINGS
-
-This is a preliminary version. This software is made available AS IS and
-WITH NO GUARANTEES. Please read  the copyright notice attached at the
-bottom of this file.
-
-IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR USERS OF OMG IDL CFE VERSION 1.2.
-
-Please carefully read the file CHANGES to obtain IMPORTANT INFORMATION on
-changes in that may affect the manner in which a BE is constructed. You
-must follow instructions contained in the file CHANGES to obtain a
-functional BE if you are migrating an existing BE from OMG IDL CFE v. 1.2.
-
-TARGET AUDIENCE
-
-Who should use this release?
-
-- You can use this source release to create a stand alone parser for OMG
-  Interface Definition Language. This may be useful to verify the legality
-  of IDL input.
-- Developers of OMG Interface Definition Language compilers should use this
-  release as a basis for writing their back ends, to obtain a common
-  framework for their compiler and to provide portable and uniform
-  parsing of IDL input.
-
-HOW TO OBTAIN THIS SOFTWARE
-
-Please use anonymous FTP to omg.org and supply your e-mail address as the
-password. Then change directories to pub/OMG_IDL_CFE_1.3, set binary transfer
-and get the file OMG_IDL_CFE_1.3.TAR.Z. This file includes copies of all
-individual documentation files in the directory.
-
-Precompiled binaries constructed from the sources in this release will be
-made available shortly, in the directory pub/OMG_IDL_CFE_1.3/bin. These
-binaries are useful for parsing IDL source and for learning about the
-language. Precompiled binaries for Solaris 2.x and for SunOS 4.x will be
-provided.
-
-You can also use the mail server program to retrieve this software. Send
-email with the subject 'help' to omg_idl@omg.org, and the mail server will
-respond with instructions on how to retrieve the software.
-
-Copies of this software may be made available from archives other than
-omg.org. New versions made available by Sun will be placed on omg.org and a
-message will be sent to this newsgroup announcing its availability.
-
-Finally, the SunSoft OMG IDL CFE is also available on magnetic tape for a
-nominal media charge directly from SunSoft. Please refer to part number
-DIDL-100-STP when ordering.
-
-CONTACT POINT
-
-Please let us know who you are if you decide to use this software, and how
-you use it. Please send e-mail to:
-
-     idl-cfe@sun.com
-
-This address can also be used to report problems, bugs, suggestions and
-send general comments.
-
-WHAT IS PROVIDED IN THE RELEASE
-
-Provided in this release are:
-
-- A main program for driving an Interface Definition Language compiler
-- A parser for the Interface Definition Language grammar which builds an
-  internal representation of the input parsed. This internal
-  representation, named an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST), is used as input to
-  a back end
-- Some utility functions used by the parser
-- A demonstration back end (BE) which exercises the front end but produces
-  no translated output
-- Documentation of the public interfaces and of the contract between
-  the compiler front end and a back end
-
-OPERATION
-
-A complete compiler operates in two passes:
-
-- The first pass, provided in this release, parses the IDL input and
-  produces an internal representation, called an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST).
-  This pass also does a complete syntax and semantics check of the input
-  provided to ensure that exactly legal IDL input is accepted. If a syntax
-  or semantic error is discovered, the second pass is not invoked.
-- The second pass, provided by compiler developers, takes the AST and
-  produces output in the language and format of choice. A demonstration
-  back end is provided in the release.
-
-HOW TO USE THIS SOFTWARE
-
-To create a complete compiler from OMG Interface Definition Language to a
-target language, compiler developers will:
-
-- Write a back end (BE) to take the internal representation of the input
-  parsed and translate it to the target language and format. You will
-  probably want to replace the BE directory in this source tree with your
-  own BE directory
-- Link the BE with the sources provided here to produce a complete
-  compiler.
-
-DOCUMENTATION
-
-The OMG Interface Definition Language is fully described in the CORBA
-documentation, Chapter 4. This document may be obtained from OMG.
-
-This release also provides the following documents:
-
-- This README file, describing the release
-- INSTALL, describing installation of the software
-- WRITING_A_BE contains all the information needed to start writing a back
-  end for this distribution
-- CHANGES_IN_AST describes changes that affect migration of BEs written
-  against version 1.2 to version 1.3.
-- CLI, describing the command line interface to the CFE
-- ROADMAP, describing the directory structure for the source code. This
-  file will assist a developer in understanding the structure of the code
-  and navigating it
-- PROBLEMS, describing a list of issues that may be addressed in future
-  releases
-- BUG_REPORT, containing a form for use in reporting bugs and problems
-  with the IDL CFE
-
-ENVIRONMENT
-
-The INSTALL file explains how to customize the software for specific
-platforms. The source distribution expects the following environment:
-
-- Sparcstation 1, 2, or 10 hardware
-- SunPro SparcWorks 3.x or 4.0
-
-As preconfigured, it compiles on Solaris 2.x. It can be reconfigured to
-compile on SunOS 4.x, HPUX or Apollo Domain OS. As far as is known, no use
-is made of Sun Make-specific features, and the Makefiles should be usable
-with other make programs.
-
-This release has been tested and is believed to operate correctly with:
-- SunPro Sparcworks 2.x and 3.0 on SunOS 4.1.x
-- SunPro Sparcworks 2.x and 3.0 on Solaris 2.3
-- g++ 2.5.8 on SunOS 4.1.x
-- g++ 2.5.8 on Solaris 2.3
-
-INSTALLATION
-
-This release is targetted for Sun workstations running Solaris 2.x. The
-process of installing this software is described in detail in the file
-INSTALL in this directory. The INSTALL file also describes how to customize
-the release for your own environment if it is different.
-
-KNOWN PROBLEMS
-
-A list of known deficiencies is provided in the file PROBLEMS in this
-directory. If you find a problem which is not mentioned in it, please
-report it as described below. Please read this file now to be apprised of
-the problems found so far with this release.
