And for a linux-bound,like me,things won't become easier. Some time ago,I tried to install Euphoria on my openSUSE 11.3, 64-bit system.Was not done only by installing,due to a missing distro-binary,I had to build it.
Euphoria is fairly well supported on Linux, actually. Current versions of euphoria are all 32 bit. 4.1 will also have a native 64 bit version (it currently works, and is my "main" euphoria at this point). Can you tell us which files are missing?
Since you're running a 64 bit distro, my first suspicion is that perhaps you don't have the libraries installed that allow you to run 32-bit applications. It's probably something like ia32-libs. If that's not it, could you give more detail about the message you get when you try to run euphoria?
During the compilation,I got told,that there were some files missing.As an idea,I looked into the deb-package,found there the missing files,eubin and such,put them into the directory, where they should be,and...doesn't work.
Cancelled that project for a while,and now I'm back again,with the same,and other problems.
I'm not such an expierienced builder,if it works,all is fine, but let there appear any warnings or errors,I'm totally lost. Can someone here support me,building Euphoria on the system above,the install-file is a little too spare with instructions for me ?
Parts of the euphoria libraries are written in euphoria, so they require a working euphoria interpreter to translate the euphoria code into C, which is then compiled by your C compiler.
So in order to build, you'll need a working interpreter. The easiest thing is to get the Linux tar.gz download. It's also linked on the downloads page.
Make sure that it runs. Then, you should be able to build euphoria like this:
$ cd path/to/euphoria/source $ ./configure --eubin path/to/working/interpreter $ make all $ make tools
NB: if you've gotten updated source from our hg repo, you won't need to run make tools.
It should all build at that point.
And what's about the editor,binder and translator,are they present for my linux,too ?
Yes, all of the features of euphoria are there on Linux, although ed.ex, while included, isn't really recommended for editing. The names of the binaries (in 4.0):
- binder
- eubind
- translator
- euc
