Scriptol to Php Compiler

Scriptol to Php Compiler is a handy tool that lets you turn your Scriptol programs into something the Php interpreter can understand. You can even compile it straight into C or make it an executable file! Pretty neat, right?

Getting Started with Scriptol

To get rolling, you'll need the Php interpreter. You can download it here, or grab it from the Scriptol CD if you've got one lying around.

Installing Scriptol

It's best to install Scriptol at the root of a disk. A good spot could be:

/home/user/scriptolp

Once you've extracted the archive into that directory, just hop into the console and navigate to the scriptolp directory to run the compiler.

Setting Up Your Environment

If you want to use the compiler from anywhere in your system, you'll need to add it to your path. A common place for this is in the usr directory or any folder that's part of your path variable (check out .bashrc or something similar). You can also add your scriptol directory there too!

Read Before You Run

Before diving in, make sure you check out the license document found in the doc directory: licence.html. Always good to know what you're agreeing to!

Your First Program

Create your program using a text editor. Save it as mysource.sol, or whatever name you prefer as long as it ends with .sol.

Compiling Your Code

To run your compiler, just type:

./solp mysource

If you're curious about what options are available for the compiler, simply type solp without any arguments at the command line.

Taking It Further with Demos

If you want a quick demo, go back to your main scriptol directory and type:

./solp demos/helloyou
