210 CHAPTER 12. INSTALLATION

I installed the fre e l y available .NET Framework 3.5 and the corresponding SDK 3.5.

This provided amongst many other thi ngs a C compiler and all the relevant librari es .

I then created a shortcut on the desktop with

Target: %SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe /q /k os\windows\VC8env.bat

and

Start in: E:\distribution\BCPL\cintcode

Double clicking on this shortcut opens a Shell window with the required environ-

ment variable all set up C compilation and the BCPL running environment. If they

are not correct you may have to edit VC8env.bat. The BCPL system was then rebuilt

by the commands:

nmake /f os/windows/MakefileVC clean

nmake /f os/windows/MakefileVC

This should r e com pi l e and link all the C code of the BCPL Cintcode system and

then recompile all the standard BCPL sy s te m programs and commands. For good

measure, once the BCPL Cintcode system has been entered, recompile all the BCPL

code again by typing:

c compall

12.5 Installation using Cygwin

I recommend using the GNU development tools and utilities for Windows that are

available from http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/.

Edit the cintcode/Makefile to comment out the LINUX ver si on

CC = gcc -O9 -DforLINUX -DSOUND -DCALLC -lm

SYSM = ../cintcode/sysasm/linux

and enable the CYGWIN32 version

CC = gcc -O9 -DforCYGWIN32 -DSOUND -DCALLC -lm

SYSM = ../cintcode/sysasm/CYGWIN32

Then type:

make

This should recompile the system and create the exe c utab l e cintsys.exe.

Remember to include t he cintcode directory i n your PATH and BCPLPATH shell

variables, so that the cintsys can be run in any dire c tor y.

Careful inspection of the Makeﬁle and di re c tor i e s in cintcode/sysasm will show

that versions also exist that use Microsoft C++ 5.0 and Borland C4.0, but these are

likely to be out of date and their use is not recommended.
