Compiler Toolkit
Ovid
It appears to be out of date.. For example, you cannot run 'make test'. Reading the README which is generated with 'perl tools/dev/mk_language_shell.pl SomeLang' doesn't help because it refers me to non-existent files. Anyone know about about this area and can fix up a few things so people can dive back into writing compilers?
Cheers,
Ovid

After successfully building and installing Parrot on my Mac, the "parrot setup.pir" still fails badly.

I authored the thing, but dont' have time and tuits to update it,
unfortunately, sorry.
I think pmichaud was planning to write a new tutorial. we should
consider whether it's worth the effort to update the old one. If so,
the best way would be to go through each episode, and see what
changed, and change that accordingly.
sorry again, but I'm up the walls for the next few months due to deadlines.
cheers,
kjs
