rock is an ooc compiler written in ooc - in other words, it's where things begin to become really exciting.
it has been bootstrapping since April 22, 2010 under Gentoo, Ubuntu, Arch Linux, Win32, OSX...
You need the following packages when building rock:
- GNU Make (
make
orgmake
, depending on your operating system) - boehm-gc
- tar (for extracting the C sources)
- bzip2 (used by tar)
Run make rescue
and you're good.
make rescue
downloads a set of C sources, compiles them, uses them to compile your copy of rock,
and then uses that copy to recompile itself
Then you'll have a 'rock' executable in bin/rock. Add it to your PATH, symlink it, copy it, just make sure it can find the SDK!
