Building the scriptbasic compiler from source
From ScriptBasic
Building the ScriptBasic package from source
Make the build directory current
mkdir ~/build/scriba cd ~/build/scriba
Move the source tarball and patches to the build directory
mv ~/download/scriba-v2.0b0-source.tar.gz ./ mv ~/download/gcc4_fix.zip
Extract the source tarball
gunzip scriba-v2.0b0-source.tar.gz tar xf scriba-v2.0b0-source.tar
Change the source file permissions to allow updates
chmod u+w memory.c chmod u+w memory.h chmod u+w commands/function.c chmod u+w mt/interface.c
Extract the patch files
unzip gcc4_fix.zip
Remove the binary patches
rm -rf gcc4_fix/exe rm mt/mt.so
Apply the patch files
mv gcc4_fix/memory.c ./ mv gcc4_fix/memory.h ./ mv gcc4_fix/commands/function.c ./commands/ mv gcc4_fix/mt/interface.c ./mt/
Remove the cruft files
rm -rf gcc4_fix rm -rf scriba-v2.0b0-source.tar
Installing the esd.pm module
It is necessary to install the esd.pm module in order to compile the source code. This must be done with appropriate privileges:
su mkdir /usr/local/lib/site_perl perl jamal.pl -i exit
Enter a fakeroot environment for the source build
fakeroot
Compile the scriptbasic package
./setup
Note: various errors may occur during the build process. These are related to optional modules, and can be ignored.
Exit the fakeroot environment
exit
Gain root privileges
You will need to gain appropriate privileges to install the interpreter and support libraries.
su
Install the scriptbasic interpreter
cp bin/exe/scriba /usr/bin
Install the scriptbasic runtime libraries
mkdir /usr/lib/scriba cp bin/lib/*.a /usr/lib/scriba/
Drop root privileges
exit
