Prepared Debian/Ubuntu packages
On http://apt.liberty-eiffel.org/ we have prepared some Debian/Ubuntu packages. For the quick start using the last stable release do:
- add the following repository (note: it is currently unsigned)
deb http://apt.liberty-eiffel.org/ release main
- then install (as root or with sudo)
apt-get install liberty-eiffel-all
That's it, you now can run "se c" to compile your first program.
Windows Installer
In a 2016 GSoC project Petru Gurita worked on a Windows installer using NSIS. His repository is hosted on GitHub.
Since October 2024, an installation script exists that loosely mimics the 'install.sh' script that is used on Linux based machines. The installation process is documented on a separate page: Installing on Windows using the Tiny-C compiler This Windows cmd-script only assumes that you have a Tiny-C compiler installed - no need to download and run external installation packages.
Bootstrap from tarball
Download the <release>.tar.gz from http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/liberty-eiffel unpack it with
tar -zxvf <release>.tar.gz
bootstrap Liberty with
cd <release> ./install.sh -bootstrap
This will create a default liberty configuration in ~/.config/liberty-eiffel/, bootstrap the compiler and compile all the tools. Afterwards you just need to add <LibertyHome>/target/bin to your path, e. g. in .bashrc:
PATH=$PATH:~/<release>/target/bin export PATH
Bootstrap from git source
On Linux (and most other Unix-like systems) installation of Liberty from source is simple:
Check that the following Pre-requisites are available on your system:
- git
- GCC compiler
- castxml (or GCC-XML)
- Boehm-Demers-Weiser garbage collector dev-packages
On debian-like systems you may install them with:
sudo apt-get install git build-essential castxml libgc-dev
On Fedora you'll need gc-devel, rather than libgc-dev, castxml and of course the basic packages for compiling like gcc, git etc.
Now clone the repository:
git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/liberty-eiffel.git
Change into the directory you created by this:
cd liberty-eiffel
and execute
./install.sh -bootstrap
This will create a default liberty configuration in ~/.config/liberty-eiffel/, bootstrap the compiler and compile all the tools. Afterwards you just need to add <LibertyHome>/target/bin to your path, e. g. in .bashrc:
PATH=$PATH:~/liberty-eiffel/target/bin export PATH
Please note that no legacy SmartEiffel system should be installed on your system. Particularily, any /etc/serc file will prevent you from installing Liberty Eiffel correctly. Now you can call se as interface for all tools. For examples go to
cd <LibertyHome>/tutorial
and compile with
se compile hello_world.e -o hello_world
your first Liberty Eiffel program.
After this great success, play with the language, tools and libraries. Develop cool applications and for any question, suggestion or complaint get in touch with us. We are also happy to receive pull requests and provide accounts to this wiki if you want to contribute code or documentation. Be welcome to get involved.
