Inweb-bootstrap is a fork of [[https://github.com/ganelson/inweb][Inweb]] that aims to be [[https://bootstrappable.org/][bootstrappable]].
|
||
|
|
Rather than relying on a pre-generated inweb.c to build itself,
|
||
|
|
it will instead be properly built from the source code and an
|
||
|
|
understandable build system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Requirements
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- noweb (noweave, notangle and cpif)
|
||
|
|
- texlive-scheme-basic (pdflatex)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
autoreconf -vif
|
||
|
|
./configure && make && make check && make install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* How It Works
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Inweb is written in its own literate programming(LP) markup syntax and C dialect.
|
||
|
|
The markup syntax is 1:1 with noweb's syntax excluding the fancy features.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The InC dialect is very similiar to C++, but has a lot of syntactic sugar
|
||
|
|
for declarations and importing headers.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Inweb-bootstrap will use noweb as the LP markup syntax and C++ as the source code
|
||
|
|
programming language since it requires the least amount of work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Contact
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Patches that help with bootstrapping Inweb are greatly appreciated,
|
||
|
|
especially with making the source code valid C++.
|
||
|
|
The patches can be sent to Inweb-bootstrap's maintainer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Inweb & Inweb-bootstrap
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once Inweb-bootstrap is complete, hopefully the upstream Inweb project
|
||
|
|
will use it as the official way to build Inweb.
