I have been unable to test the converter (we +don't have Scribe here), and the files that I received were evidently +incomplete. The original author (Van Jacobson) is unreachable by +E-mail. + +The most glaring lacuna was the fact that the file s2l.y did not end +in a newline. Its last line looked like this: + +#include "lex.yy.c<end of file> + +I have appended a double quote and a newline to this file; that way, +the thing at least compiles and links. Nonetheless, one has to +suspect that other stuff might be missing as well, and since I can't +test the executable, I can give no guarantee. + +When you do a make, you will get a yacc message about 81 shift/reduce +and 48 reduce/reduce conflicts. According to the comments in the file +s2l.y, this can be ignored. + +If you get the s2latex program to work, please let me know; also tell +me whether you're satisfied with it. In particular, if you make +changes to the sources to get it to work, please pass them on to me, +in case someone else should ask for the program. + +-- Mark James <mark@bdblues.altair.fr> or <mark@nuri.inria.fr> + |
