Introduction

There are several ways to compile/build Cheddar tools on Linux/windows boxes :

• Through the command line.
• With the Gnat IDE : GPS.

For other operating systems, Ellidiss Technologies shall be contacted.

Additional Software

The following software are needed :

• GNAT compiler GPL (see ​AdaCore web site). Note : the 2015 version works with the corresponding version of gtkada, the 2017 do not. For non graphic tools, the 2017 should work.
• Use the current gtkAda files in lib directory or download the corresponding GNAT compiler version (see ​AdaCore web site).
• For windows, get the cygwin (​Cygwin web site) or msys2 (​Msys2 web site) environment.
• a svn client is necessary. The default one is fine for linux and tortoiseSVN can be tortoiseSVN (​Tortoise SVN web site) used for windows.

Building Instructions

Step 1 Environment variables

Set the environment variables :

• edit the compilelinux32.bash, compilelinux64.bash or compilewin32.bash (depending on your OS) and fill the correct CHEDDAR_DIR, GNAT_DIR and SVN_PATH (win32)

• then source the script through a terminal (e.g. bash for linux or cygwin/msys2 for windows).

Step 2 Edit Files

If necessary, edit the following files :

• read and update the config/*.ads packages. These Ada packages contain all Cheddar's configurable constants.
• the Makefile.vars to set the build type (Release or Debug) and cheddar version.

Step 3 Command line

In a terminal execute the following commands :

• Type make cheddar to compile Cheddar

Or

• Type make all in the terminal to compile all Cheddar tools.

Note 1 : check the Makefile to see all target available. Note 2 : if you want to remove all objects created during Cheddar compilation, type make clean.

Step3 GPS

In the terminal, launch gps :

• Open GPS cheddar project. In the menu, select Project->Open and select the cheddar.gpr file (cheddar.gpr file in Cheddar source code trunk directory).
• The build it. In the menu, select Build->Project->Cheddar.gpr

Installation Instructions

If the compilation succeed, Cheddar tools binaries can be found in the src directory.

• On Unix boxes : TODO.

• On Win32 boxes : copy cheddar.exe, the glade files (in src/graphical_editor) and the libgdk-win32-2.0-0.dll and libgtk-win32-2.0-0 files from lib/win32/GtkAda/bin directory in the Same installation directory (eg. C:\Cheddar).
