This is the (intermediate) version 2.5 of EAG. If you encounter any problems while compiling or testing EAG, do hesitate to email me ([email protected]) and I will try and correct the problems.

To install the Extended Affix Grammar environment, you will need the following GNU tools:

• gcc
• make (the GNU make, check with --version)
• the X11 window system (needed only if you want to generate syntax directed editors; if you do not need it add --without-x when configuring)

All of these tools are available from a large number of ftp-sites. Since the source code has been GNU-ified recently, installation proceeds acoording to the usual GNU paradigma:

• configure --prefix=<wherever you want to install EAG; default:/usr/local>
• make
• make install

The software has been tested on the following platforms:

Platform OS Comments

• Sun SPARCstation-20 Solaris 2.7
• SGI IRIX 6.5
• i686 Linux 2.2.19 Debian
• i686 FreeBSD2.6
• Alpha NetBSD1.6 libtool pecularities (use --disable-shared or link by hand)

In the subdirectory 'examples', several representative examples may be found. An other subdirectory called 'exp' provides more experimental ones.
