A simple wrapper around CakeML to make compiling nicer.
The traditional method for turning a CakeML program into an executable:
(Where both the cake executable and the basis_ffi.c file are provided by CakeML.)
> cake <myfile.cml > myfile.S
> cc -o myfile basis_ffi.c myfile.S
Using cake-c:
> cake-c myfile.cml myfile
Place cake-c into the same directory as CakeML, and then make it available to your shell by either:
- Ensuring the CakeML directory is part of PATH
- Have an alias to
cake-c.
cake-c doesn't care which option you go with.
cake-c does have commandline help in the form of: cake-c --help.
cake-c takes two arguments:
- The name of the file you are compiling.
- The name of the executable you wish to create.
cake-c will place the executable in the same folder as the file you are compiling.
For example:
> echo 'print "Hello, World!\n";' > hello.cml
> cake-c hello.cml hello
Setting up environment...
Environment built.
Compiling CakeML data...
Compiling executable...
Done Compiling.
Removing environment...
