[Axiom-developer] NOWEB

[Ralf Hemmecke]

Tim, you complained about the speed of NOWEB...

Here a copy from noweb-2.11/src/INSTALL...

To build noweb:

  1) First point to compilers to be used to built the tools and
     library by setting these variables in the Makefile:
       CC         the name of an ANSI C compiler
       LIBSRC     'awk' or 'icon', depending on which library
     If you have Icon, use the Icon version of the noweb library; this
     code speeds up noweave by a factor of 3.  The Icon versions have
     fewer bugs and provide more filters (e.g., convert LaTeX to HTML
     in documentation chunks).  Not all of the examples will work with
     the awk library.  If you have an Icon compiler and believe it
     works, set `ICONC=iconc -f l' in the Makefile.  (Icon is freely
     available from the University of Arizona, but the compiler is no
     longer maintained.)




I have compiled noweb like this...

cd noweb-2.11/src

export N=$HOME/software/noweb

make LIBSRC=icon BIN=$N LIB=$N/lib MAN=$N/man TEXINPUTS=$N/tex 
ELISP=$N/elisp

make LIBSRC=icon BIN=$N LIB=$N/lib MAN=$N/man TEXINPUTS=$N/tex 
ELISP=$N/elisp install

Do you use icon instead of awk???
