# GF Resource Grammar Library (RGL)
|
|
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/GrammaticalFramework/gf-rgl)
|
|
|
|
The GF Resource Grammar Library is the standard library for Grammatical Framework. It covers the morphology and basic syntax of over 30 languages.
|
|
|
|
For more about the RGL, see the [synopsis page](http://www.grammaticalframework.org/lib/doc/synopsis/).
|
|
|
|
## Choose your build method
|
|
|
|
There are 3 ways to build and install the RGL:
|
|
|
|
- Haskell script `Setup.hs`
|
|
- Shell script `Setup.sh` (does not require Haskell)
|
|
- Windows batch file `Setup.bat` (does not require Haskell)
|
|
|
|
## Install locations
|
|
|
|
The install scripts will try to determine where to copy the compiled RGL modules.
|
|
It will look for, in this order:
|
|
- the `--dest=` flag (see below)
|
|
- the `GF_LIB_PATH` environment variable
|
|
- the file `../gf-core/DATA_DIR` (relative to this directory). This only works if you have the `gf-core` and `gf-rgl` repositories in the same top-level directory **and** you have already compiled GF from source.
|
|
(This is considered a bit hacky and will probably disappear in the future).
|
|
|
|
## Language config
|
|
|
|
A list of all languages and their properties is maintained centrally in [`languages.csv`](languages.csv).
|
|
This file should be kept up-to-date and all build methods should read this config file.
|
|
**If you see something wrong, please report/fix it.**
|
|
|
|
| # | Column | Description | Default |
|
|
|:---|:--------------|:-----------------------------------------|:-------:|
|
|
| 1 | Code | 3-letter language code, e.g. `Eng` | - |
|
|
| 2 | Name | language name in English, e.g. `English` | - |
|
|
| 3 | Directory | folder name under `src`, e.g. `english` | - |
|
|
| 4 | Functor | functor name (not used) | - |
|
|
| 5 | Unlexer | unlexer (not used) | - |
|
|
| 6 | Present | language is marked with `--# notpresent` | n |
|
|
| 7 | All | compile `All` module | y |
|
|
| 8 | Try | compile `Try` module | y |
|
|
| 9 | Symbolic | compile `Symbolic` module | y |
|
|
| 10 | Compatibility | complile `Compatibility` module | n |
|
|
| 11 | Synopsis | include language in the RGL synopsis | n |
|
|
|
|
If default is `y` then anything other than `n`, including the empty string, is treated as true (and vice versa when default is `n`).
|
|
|
|
## Haskell script: `Setup.hs`
|
|
|
|
This build method gives you most options.
|
|
You will need Haskell installed on your system.
|
|
|
|
### Basic
|
|
|
|
If you have `Make` installed and don't care about advanced settings,
|
|
you can compile the RGL and install it to the default location with:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
make install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This is the same as `make build` followed by `make copy`.
|
|
There is also `make clean` available.
|
|
|
|
### Advanced
|
|
|
|
For more fine-grained control over the build process, you can run the build script directly:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
runghc Setup.hs ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Where `...` is one of:
|
|
```
|
|
build [CMDS] [MODE] [--langs=[+|-]LANG,LANG,...] [--gf=...] [--verbose|-v]
|
|
copy [MODE] [--dest=...]
|
|
install [CMDS] [MODE] [--langs=[+|-]LANG,LANG,...] [--gf=...] [--dest=...] [--verbose|-v]
|
|
clean
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- `CMDS` is one or more of:
|
|
`prelude`,
|
|
`all`,
|
|
`lang`,
|
|
`api`,
|
|
`compat`,
|
|
or an explicit module name (e.g. `ExtraEng.gf`. You don't need to specify to language subdirectory, but there is a restriction that the module must exist in a **direct** subdirectory of `src`).
|
|
If ommitted, the default command is `prelude all`.
|
|
- `MODE` is one of:
|
|
`present`,
|
|
`alltenses`
|
|
(default is both).
|
|
- `LANG` is a 3-letter language code, e.g. `Eng`, `Swe` etc.
|
|
- You can _override_ the default language list with `--langs=...`
|
|
- ~~You can _add_ languages to the default list with `--langs=+...`~~
|
|
- You can _remove_ languages from the default list with `langs=-...`
|
|
- The path to GF installed on your system can be specified via the `--gf` flag (default is that the `gf` executable is in the global system path).
|
|
- The `--dest` flag can be used to manually specify where the compiled RGL modules should be copied/installed. This is the same place as `GF_LIB_PATH`.
|
|
|
|
## Shell script: `Setup.sh`
|
|
|
|
This method is provided as an alternative for those who don't have Haskell installed.
|
|
Simply run the script to build the entire RGL and install in the default location.
|
|
|
|
You can pass the following flags:
|
|
- `--dest=...` to manually specify the install location
|
|
- `--gf=...` to specify the path to the `gf` executable, if not available on the system path
|
|
- `--verbose` or `-v` to show a list of files being built (errors will always be shown)
|
|
|
|
## Windows batch file: `Setup.bat`
|
|
|
|
This method is provided as an alternative for Windows users who don't have Haskell or Bash installed.
|
|
|
|
It is supposed to be a port of `Setup.sh` and works in largely the same way.
|
|
In particular, it accepts the same flags (in the same format) as described above.
|
|
|
|
However it currently tries to build all modules for all languages and doesn't consider the details of which modules should be compiled for each language (specified in `languages.csv`)

## About this repository
|
|
|
|
On 2018-07-25, the monolithic [GF repository](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/GF)
|
|
was split in two:
|
|
|
|
1. [gf-core](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-core) — the GF compiler, shell and runtimes
|
|
2. [gf-rgl](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-rgl) — the resource grammar library
|
|
|
|
The former repository is now archived and no longer updated.
|
|
The split was performed using [this script](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/GF/blob/30ae1b5a5f73513ac5825ca6712186ef8afe9fd4/split/run.sh)
|
|
and the output of that script is [here](https://gist.github.com/johnjcamilleri/a6c43ff61f15a9657b457ac94ab7db61).
