Hello All,
I am still missing a specific README file or an HTML page explaining all the details of PPL configuration and compilation (ie all the traps possible at build time). I feel that PPL is more configurable than most plain GNU stuff, hence that some basic documentation about PPL configuration and compilation is useful, in particular to newscomers.
May I suggest to (at least) add something like:
PPL is usable from programs written in C, C++, Ocaml, Prolog. You'll need to pass the appropriate --enable-interfaces flag to its configure script.
to the "General Information on the PPL" page http://www.cs.unipr.it/ppl/Documentation/user/ in the Main Features section. or perhaps to add a "Building PPL" [sub-] section
(I had a hardware crash and I did lost my previous PPL configuration -but not much else than configuration files- and I had to try several times to find the right configuration to me)
with the ppl-0.10pre7 snapshot (or pre-release?) configured thru ./configure '--enable-interfaces=c,cxx,ocaml' '--sysconfdir=/etc/local' a make install does not install any ppl_c.h file, as I would expect. Is it normal or did I misunderstood something (probable)?
Actually, I need to test in a autconf file (gcc/configure.ac) the availability of the C interface to PPL.
Any ideas?
Regards.
