% This file is part of CWEB. % The CWEB programs by Silvio Levy are based on programs by D. E.

He even transferred the job to correct errors % in ctangle.w, cweave.w, prod.w, common.w, cwebmac.tex, cwebman.tex, % and in the files of examples/*.w to Andreas Scherer in 2021. % Further significant developments, including versions that neither % Don Knuth nor Silvio Levy themselves do maintain, are ongoing. % All of the really current news about CWEB is, in fact, now to be found % on the CWEB development page https://github.com/ascherer/cweb. This directory contains the following files: Makefile README comm-amiga.ch comm-bs.ch comm-mac.ch comm-man.ch comm-os2.ch comm-pc.ch comm-ql.ch comm-vms.ch comm-w32.ch common.c common.h common.w ctang-bs.ch ctang-man.ch ctang-pc.ch ctang-ql.ch ctang-vms.ch ctang-w32.ch ctangle.c ctangle.w cweav-bs.ch cweav-man.ch cweav-pc.ch cweav-ql.ch cweav-vms.ch cweave-w32.ch cweave.w cweb.1 cweb.el cwebacromac.tex cwebmac.tex cwebman.tex examples/ makefile.bs prod.w readme.ql c++lib.w iso_types.w The file cwebman.tex is the user manual. The examples directory contains additional examples of the use of CWEB. The files common.c and ctangle.c are used for bootstrapping. The file cweb.1 is a manual page. The file cweb.el is suggested for GNU-Emacs users. The files c++lib.w and iso_types.w are for C++ users (say `@i c++lib.w' and/or `@i iso_types.w' at beginning of program). The files *-man.ch are used if you want to make the full 243-page CWEB manual. The files *-bs.ch are used instead of *-pc.ch if you are doing BIG programs. You can use makefile.bs to make CWEB with *-bs.ch. The files *-ql.ch are for QDOS/SMSQ systems; see readme.ql for further info. The files *-w32.ch use __fastcall conventions on win32 systems. The file comm-mac.ch is for Macintosh conventions. The other files named *.ch are sample change files for local customization. IMPORTANT: Please touch *.c before proceeding. Then edit the opening lines of Makefile so that it has the proper directory information for your local system. To make ctangle and cweave say `make all'; this should produce roughly the following actions (possibly with harmless warning messages from cc): cc -g -w -c ctangle.c cc -g -w -DCWEBINPUTS=\"/usr/local/lib/cweb\" -c common.c cc -g -o ctangle ctangle.o common.o ./ctangle cweave cc -g -w -c cweave.c cc -g -w -o cweave cweave.o common.o To get some reassurance that things are OK, you can say `make cautiously', which ensures that CTANGLE will reproduce itself. (Otherwise the source files common.w and ctangle.w won't actually have been used.) To install cweave and ctangle say `make install'. You probably need to be superuser to do this; but it's wise to `make all' first, BEFORE becoming superuser and saying `make install'. Note that change files for VMS, AMIGA, MAC, and PCs are provided. When you are first bootstrapping to a new system, you may need to edit common.c and ctangle.c by hand, but the vast majority of the change-file changes are minor refinements that are not necessary for a rudimentary ctangle.
