Building the tools

EWG (the package) contains two tools:

EWG -- The Eiffel Wrapper Generator command line tool
Doctor C -- A web application that explains C declarations in English

The source to those tools is located in ${EWG}/src. When using a binary distribution (i.e. not the source distribution) there is no need to compile the tools, as they come already precompiled for your platform.

Requirements

The following is a list of requirements that need to be fulfilled in order to compile EWG (the tool). Please note that these are not necessarily the same as the requirements needed to compile applications and libraries using the EWG runtime, or using the ewg tools.

Library
- GOBO 3.4
Compiler
- Smart Eiffel (1.1)
- ISE Eiffel (5.6)
- Visual Eiffel (4.1)
Platform
- Everything supported by above requirements

Compiling the Tools

The following will use the Gobo tools to setup and install (gepp, lext and yacc) the source code and its test cluster, then compile ewg and Doctor C and put the binary into ${EWG}/bin:

	 cd ${EWG}
	 geant install
	 geant compile
