AUTOMATIC INSTALLATION
===============================================================================
-----------------------
Windows OS and Mac OS X
-----------------------
Download the auto-installer corresponding to your system from
http://frama-c.com/download.html
Then just run it!
----------------------------------------------------
Debian >= Squeeze 6.0 and Ubuntu >= Lucid Lynx 10.04
----------------------------------------------------
If you are using Debian >= Squeeze 6.0 or Ubuntu >= Lucid Lynx 10.04 then
a Frama-C package is provided:
sudo apt-get install frama-c
or, if you don't want the Gtk-based GUI:
sudo apt-get install frama-c-base
------------
Fedora >= 13
------------
If you are using Fedora >= 13 then a Frama-C package is provided:
yum install frama-c
===============================================================================
The remainder of these installation instructions is for building Frama-C from
source.
QUICK START
===============================================================================
1) Install OCaml if not already installed.
1b) Optionally, for the GUI, also install Gtk, GtkSourceView, GnomeCanvas and
Lablgtk2 if not already installed.
2a) On Linux-like distribution:
./configure && make && sudo make install
2b) On Windows+Cygwin or Windows+MinGW+msys:
./configure --prefix C:/windows/path/with/direct/slash && make && make install
3) The binary frama-c (and frama-c-gui if you have lablgtk2) is now installed.
4) Optionally, test your installation by running:
frama-c -val tests/misc/CruiseControl*.c
frama-c-gui -val tests/misc/CruiseControl*.c (if frama-c-gui is available)
See below for more detailed and specific instructions.
===============================================================================
REQUIREMENTS
===============================================================================
- GNU make version >= 3.81
- Objective Caml >= 3.10.2;
OCaml >= 3.11 is required for using easily some plug-ins in the most
efficient mode.
The Frama-C GUI also requires:
- Gtk (>= 2.4)
- GtkSourceView 2.x
- GnomeCanvas 2.x
- LablGtk >= 2.14.0
If OcamlGraph >= 1.6 is already installed, then it will be used by Frama-C.
Otherwise the distributed local copy (directory ocamlgraph) will be used.
Plug-ins may have their own requirements.
Consult their specific documentations for details.
--------------------------
Ubuntu >= Lucid Lynx 10.04
--------------------------
If you are using Ubuntu >= Lucid Lynx 10.04 then an optimal list of packages is
installed by:
sudo apt-get install ocaml ocaml-native-compilers graphviz \
liblablgtksourceview2-ocaml-dev liblablgtk2-gnome-ocaml-dev
-------------------
Other Linux systems
-------------------
On any Linux systems, you may use Godi
(http://godi.camlcity.org/godi/index.html) for installing Frama-C with all the
OCaml requirements (but you must install C libraries and tools before).
===============================================================================
CONFIGURATION
===============================================================================
Frama-C is configured by "./configure [options]"
configure is generated by autoconf, so that the standard options for setting
installation directories are available, in particular '--prefix=/path'.
A plug-in can be enabled by --enable-plugin and disabled by --disable-plugin.
By default, all distributed plug-ins are enabled. Those who defaults to 'no'
are not part of the Frama-C distribution (usually because they are too
experimental to be released as is).
See ./configure --help for the current list of plug-ins.
Under Cygwin or MinGW:
----------------------
Use "./configure --prefix C:/windows/path/with/direct/slash".
===============================================================================
COMPILATION
===============================================================================
Type "make".
Makefile targets of interest are:
- doc generates the API documentation
- ptests generates the executable that takes care of running Frama-C's tests
- oracles set up the tests oracle of Frama-C test suite for your own
configuration.
- tests performs Frama-C's own tests (use it after oracles)
===============================================================================
INSTALLATION
===============================================================================
Type "make install"
(depending on the installation directory, may require superuser privileges).
It is possible to install in a given directory by setting
the DESTDIR variable: "make install DESTDIR=/tmp" installs Frama-C in
sub-directories of /tmp.
The following files are installed.
Executables: (usually in /usr/local/bin)
------------
- frama-c
- frama-c-gui if available
- frama-c.byte bytecode version of frama-c
- frama-c-gui.byte bytecode version of frama-c-gui, if available
- ptests.byte testing tools for Frama-c
Shared files: (usually in /usr/local/share/frama-c and subdirectories)
-------------
- some .h and .c files used as preludes by Frama-C;
- some Makefiles used to compile dynamic plug-ins
- some .rc files used to configure Frama-C
- some image files used by the Frama-C GUI
Manuals: (usually in /usr/local/share/frama-c/manuals)
--------
- the Frama-C manuals as .pdf files
Documentation files: (usually in /usr/local/share/frama-c/doc)
--------------------
- files used to generate dynamic plug-in documentation
Object files: (usually in /usr/local/lib/frama-c)
-------------
- object files used to compile dynamic plug-ins
Plug-in files: (usually in /usr/local/lib/frama-c/plugins)
--------------
- object files of available dynamic plug-ins
Man files: (usually in /usr/local/man/man1)
----------
- man files for frama-c (and frama-c-gui if available)
===============================================================================
CUSTOM INSTALLATION
===============================================================================
You can manually move any installed files. However, in such a case, you have to
set specific environment variables in order that Frama-C found the appropriate
objects when required.
The environment variables are:
------------------------------
FRAMAC_SHARE: absolute path to the Frama-C share subdirectory
FRAMAC_LIB: absolute path of the Frama-C lib subdirectory
FRAMAC_PLUGIN: absolute path of the Frama-C plug-in directory.
===============================================================================
TESTING THE INSTALLATION
===============================================================================
This step is optional.
Test your installation by running:
frama-c -val tests/misc/CruiseControl*.c
frama-c-gui -val tests/misc/CruiseControl*.c (if frama-c-gui is available)
===============================================================================
INSTALLATION OF ADDITIONAL PLUG-INS
===============================================================================
Plug-ins may be released independently of Frama-C.
The standard way for installing them should be:
./configure && make && sudo make install
Plug-ins may have their own custom installation procedures.
Consult their specific documentations for details.
===============================================================================
API DOCUMENTATION
===============================================================================
For plug-in developers, the API documentation of the Frama-C kernel and
distributed plug-ins is available in the file frama-c-api.tar.gz.
===============================================================================
UNINSTALLATION
===============================================================================
Type "make uninstall" to remove Frama-C and all the installed plug-ins.
That works only if you have not manually moved the installed files (see Section
"Custom Installation").
===============================================================================
HAVE FUN WITH FRAMA-C!
