Compiling Orca

Obtaining the Source

Use Subversion to checkout the latest code as follows:

svn co svn://svn.geekisp.com/orca/trunk/orca orca

Compiling

The m2 REBOL script is used to build a Makefile from project.r. You can download m2 from http://wsrebol.sf.net or check it out from svn://svn.geekisp.com/orca/trunk/m2.

Once the Makefile is built just type 'make'.

Configuration

Language features can be enabled/disabled by commenting in/out lines from config.r.

Follow these steps:

  1. Edit config.r.
  2. Run 'rebol boot_str.r' to update boot.c.
  3. Run m2 to rebuild the Makefile.
  4. Recompile with 'make clean; make'.

Once Orca has been built it can be used instead of Rebol for running the boot_str.r script.
