Installing Ragel 5.2.0 on Mac OS X TigerEdit

• Get link to latest source code from: http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~thurston/ragel/

wget http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~thurston/ragel/ragel-5.20.tar.gz
tar xzvf ragel-5.20.tar.gz
cd ragel-5.20

• Or checkout via Subversion:

svn co svn://mambo.cs.queensu.ca/ragel/tags/ragel-5.20
cd ragel-5.20

NOTE: The first time you install Ragel you must use the tarball distribution or ./configure will fail with:

error: ragel is required to build the parsers

This is because of the following differences between the tarball and the Subversion version:

1258c1258
< BUILD_PARSERS=false
---
> BUILD_PARSERS=true
diff ragel-5.20/configure.in svn/configure.in
27c27
< AC_SUBST(BUILD_PARSERS,false)
---
> AC_SUBST(BUILD_PARSERS,true)

Likewise you need Kelbt: http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~thurston/kelbt/

wget http://www.cs.queensu.ca/~thurston/kelbt/kelbt-0.11.tar.gz
tar kelbt-0.11.tar.gz
./configure
make
cd tests
./runtests
cd ..
sudo install kelbt/kelbt /usr/local/bin/

• Build:

./configure
make
cd tests
./runtests
cd ..
sudo make install
