Colm.Net Suite of Programs
==========================
This package contains the Colm Programming Language, Ragel State Machine
Compiler 7.0+, and supporting libraries.
DEPENDENCIES
============
This package has no external dependencies, other than usual autotools and C/C++
compiler programs.
For the program:
make libtool gcc g++ autoconf automake
For the docucumentation:
* asciidoc
* fig2dev
BUILDING
========
Colm is built in the usual autotool way:
$ ./autogen
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
RUN-TIME DEPENDENCIES
=====================
The colm program depends on GCC at runtime. It produces a C program as output,
then compiles and links it with a runtime library. The compiled program depends
on the colm library.
Notes on RUNNING
================
To find the includes and the runtime library to pass to GCC, colm looks at
argv[0] to decide if it is running out of the source tree. If it is, then the
compile and link flags are derived from argv[0]. Otherwise, it uses the install
location (prefix) to construct the flags.
SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTING
===================
There are vim syntax definition files colm.vim and ragel.vim
