[edit] Building the ScriptBasic package from source

[edit] Make the build directory current

mkdir ~/build/scriba
cd ~/build/scriba

[edit] Move the source tarball and patches to the build directory

mv ~/download/scriba-v2.0b0-source.tar.gz ./
mv ~/download/gcc4_fix.zip

[edit] Extract the source tarball

gunzip scriba-v2.0b0-source.tar.gz
tar xf scriba-v2.0b0-source.tar

[edit] 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

[edit] Extract the patch files

unzip gcc4_fix.zip

[edit] Remove the binary patches

rm -rf gcc4_fix/exe
rm mt/mt.so

[edit] 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/

[edit] Remove the cruft files

rm -rf gcc4_fix
rm -rf scriba-v2.0b0-source.tar

[edit] 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

[edit] Enter a fakeroot environment for the source build

fakeroot

[edit] Compile the scriptbasic package

./setup

Note: various errors may occur during the build process. These are related to optional modules, and can be ignored.

[edit] Exit the fakeroot environment

exit

[edit] Gain root privileges

You will need to gain appropriate privileges to install the interpreter and support libraries.

su

[edit] Install the scriptbasic interpreter

cp bin/exe/scriba /usr/bin

[edit] Install the scriptbasic runtime libraries

mkdir /usr/lib/scriba
cp bin/lib/*.a /usr/lib/scriba/

[edit] Drop root privileges

exit
