The Bellman's GAP Compiler (GAP-C) is the novel ADP compiler which translates GAP-L
programs into efficient C++ code. It implements several semantic analyses for
optimization purposes, error reporting, type checking and automatic table design.
The compiler is free and open-source. You can install it directly from popular
linux distributions or download the source code. It is written in C++ and uses
flex and bison for its lexer and parser.
Install
It is recommended to install GAP-C from the distribution's package manager (unless you want to develop GAP-C itself).
Ubuntu
Bellman's GAP is available as a pre-compiled Debian package via Ubuntus launchpad system, a Ubuntu Personal Package Archive (PPA).
On your command line, execute the three following commands
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bibi-help/bibitools
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bellmansgapc
MacPorts
Under Mac OS X you may want to use
MacPorts
to install the compiler. There is a ports description on the BiBiServ MacPorts repository.
Gapc depends (amongst other libraries) on boost. The boost library must be build with the same
compiler environment as gapc. Therefore, to be sure that gapc will work, boost should be rebuild.
Attention! This could be a problem for existing
programs referencing a possibly previous installed boost library.
Install compiler enviroment :
sudo port install gcc48
If you have no previous boost installation, call :
sudo port -ns install configure.compiler=macports-gcc-4.8
Otherwise boost needs to be upgraded :
sudo port -ns upgrade --force boost configure.compiler=macports-gcc-4.8
You can then install GAP-C via:
sudo port install http://bibiserv.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/resources/macports/ports/lang/gapc.tgz
Compile and Install
You can compile and install Bellman's GAP from source. Always download the latest version at (Password: hganon):
hg clone ssh://hganon@hg.cebitec.uni-bielefeld.de/pi/software/gapc
To install Bellman's GAP from source call:
./configure --prefix=[install-path]
make
make install
