1 Splint Version 3.0.0.20
8 For documentation on LCLint, please see http://www.splint.org
10 WARNING: this is an Alpha release - new features and changes are not
11 reflected in the documentation.
16 To build Splint you need:
18 o a (hopefully ANSI-conforming) C compiler. On most modern Unix systems,
19 cc will work fine. For older or less standard systems, gcc is
21 o gmake, the GNU make utility. If you don't have gmake installed on your
22 system, download it from prep.ai.mit.edu.
23 o standard Unix tools: gzip, tar
28 o bison version 1.28 or later - bison 1.27 and 1.25 are believed to
29 have bugs that cause problems with Splint's parsers.
31 If these are unavailable, you may be able to build Splint anyway using
32 the derived grammar files. This is not recommended however.
34 1. Download the Splint source package (splint-<version>.src.tgz).
36 Copy this package to the directory where you want to build Splint. When
37 the tar file is extracted, it will create an splint-<version> subdirectory.
39 2. Extract files from the tar archive:
40 tar xzf splint-<version>.src.tgz
44 This will create a Makefile with settings for your system. If you
45 want to install Splint or associated libraries different
46 directories, edit the Makefile.
50 It is best to do this in an emacs shell or a buffered terminal,
51 so you can scroll through the output.
53 6. Set environment variables
55 LARCH_PATH - path to search for splint libraries and
56 initializations files. If you are using the standard directories, this
57 should be .:<base-directory>/splint-3.0.0.9/lib.
59 LCLIMPORTDIR - directory containing lcl imports files. If you are using
60 the standard directories, this is <base-directory>/splint-3.0.0.9/imports.
62 Put the commands to set these variables (the actual commands will depend
63 on the shell you are using) in one of your initialization dotfiles
64 (usually ~/.environment).
66 Set up your PATH to include the directory containing
67 splint-<version>/bin/splint, or move the binary to a directory on
72 Examine the test output. If there are errors, send a bug
73 report to splint-bug@cs.virginia.edu
