Installation

The first operation that you have to do in order to get the source files is decompressing the file that you have obtained from the web page (which has extension gz). To do that:

1. Use gunzip :

           $ gunzip -d LFIAML.tar.gz

2. Use tar :

           $ tar xvf LFIAML.tar

If you do not have any of these tools, contact with the system administrator to known how to obtain them.

Now, you must have this files in your directory:

• fichia.ml

  This file contains the definitions of the data types that the program uses.

• scanord.mll

  The scanner where the regular expressions that the program accepts as input are defined.

• parord.mly

  The parser where the semantic of the input commands are defined.

• lfiaml.ml

  The main source file of the application where the functions are implemented.

• Makefile

In this moment you only have to execute the makefile, by writing: make. The compilation will take place and you will get the executable file LFIAML.

This assumes that you have this executable files in your system, and you have in your PATH variable the correct directories where these files are present:

• camlc: The CAML compiler, version 0.7 .
• camllex: The CAML application similar to UNIX's lex.
• camlyacc: The CAML application similar to UNIX's yacc.

If you are not interested in the source files, you can delete them, maintaining only the LFIAML file in your directory.
