cup

[Boris Hollas]

Hello,

I have several problems with cup 0.11a+20060608-2 on Ubuntu 10.04:

- according to the documentation for cup, cup is run with

  java -jar java-cup-11a.jar options  inputfile

  This doesn't work because java-cup-11a.jar isn't present on the
system. Instead, the file is named cup-0.11a.jar in /usr/share/java.

  This should be changed to be consistent with the documentation.

- running javac parser.java on the resultant parser produces lots of
errors:

parser.java:7: package java_cup.runtime does not exist
import java_cup.runtime.*;
^
...

  
  The same is true if javac lexer.java is invoked on a lexer generated
by JFlex using the %cup option:

lexer.java:3: package java_cup.runtime does not exist
import java_cup.runtime.*;
^
...

  However, I can compile the lexer with java-cup-11a-runtime.jar
downloaded from the cup homepage to my working directory and

  javac -classpath ./java-cup-11a-runtime.jar

  Because find /usr/ -name "*runtime*" | grep cup doesn't find anything,
something might be missing.
