Release notes for the ISE EiffelBench compiler


EiffelFox can be compiled using EiffelBench version 4.3 or later. I am
currently using 4.5.021.

Earlier EiffelBench 4.x versions may compile, but will require that the
tools/mv_includes script to be run on the EIFGEN directory prior to running
finish_freezing to correct code generation errors for C++ external features.

Note also that there is a finalization bug in EiffelBench version 4.5.020,
(the officially released version) which generates bad C++ code for some of the
classes in EiffelFox, resulting in errors during the C compilation phase. If
this affects you, ask ISE for version 4.5.021, which fixes this bug.

There are Makefiles in all of the example and precomp directories which will
allow you to simply run "make ise" (or "nmake ise") in those directories to
build a workbench mode application. To build a finalized application, make
the target "ise-finalize".

If you wish to compile using the graphical development environment, you will
need to know which ACE file to use. In each of the precomp and example
application directories, you will find the following ACE files:

  Ace.ace       For use on Unix
  ise_bc5.ace   For use on Win32 using the Borland C++ 5.x compiler
  ise_vc6.ace   For use on Win32 using the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler
