Getting started with FLEX:
Realtime module installation

These instructions assume that you have already checked out and built the main "Code" module, the "Runtime" module, and GNU Classpath.

We have assembled some useful RPMS for RedHat 8.0. These are dependencies you will need to install.

1. Check out the Realtime sources.

% cd ~/Harpoon
% wget http://flexc.csail.mit.edu/Harpoon/HOWTO/getting-started/config/sourceme
% cvs -d `cat Code/CVS/Root` checkout ImageRec Realtime

2. Compiling the code

% cd ~/Harpoon
% source sourceme
% cd ~/Harpoon/Realtime
% make

3. Configure the Runtime

% cd ~/Harpoon/Runtime
% ./configure --with-precise-c --with-gc=conservative --with-thread-model=heavy --disable-shared
% make clean && make

Notes:

• (Configure) For image recognition capabilities, add --with-servo --with-camera to the arguments.
• (Configure) For StrongARM support, add --host=arm-linux CC="arm-linux-gcc"
• (Configure) For performance, add CFLAGS="-O9 -DNDEBUG"
• (Build-precisec) For StrongARM support, prepend HOST_PREFIX="arm-linux-"
• (Afterwards) To make the executable smaller, execute strip ./runfoobar in the Runtime directory. For ARM, execute arm-linux-strip ./runfoobar
