How to setup and use the Pizza Compiler

Setting up the Pizza Compiler

The pizza compiler is installed in /home/java/extensions/pizza/.

"setpath /home/java/extensions/pizza/bin"

should configure your environment so that pizzac file[s] now runs the pizza compiler on the given file[s].

Note: You should run "setup java" before running pizzac. "setup java1.2" will not work with pizza presently. For the details please see Working with Pizza/GJ and 1.2.

Alternatively you can alter your CLASSPATH environment variable to include /home/java/extensions/pizza/classes with the following command:

export CLASSPATH=/home/java/extensions/pizza/classes:${CLASSPATH}

If you do this the you will also need to do the following:

alias pizzac="java -ms8m pizza.compiler.Main"

Using the Pizza Compiler

Sources of information include the local documentation that came with the Pizza package(javadoc style description), and the Pizza Home Page located elsewhere - this is probably the best place to start if you want to try and learn how to program using the Pizza extensions.
