step 1

First, make sure you have the GNUstep environment variables (e.g. GNUSTEP_ROOT, etc) set in your current shell.

Otherwise issue: source /usr/local/GNUstep/System/Library/Makefiles/GNUstep.sh

(where GNUstep has been installed in /usr/local/GNUstep; change for your local settings accordingly)

step 2

I assume you already have StepTalk? installed and download the released SourceCode from http://www.moltalk.org.

If you consider using CVS to get the newest developing branch skip this step and read the instructions at the end of this page.

Download MolTalk's source code from http://www.moltalk.org

and extract it with: tar xzf MolTalk-VERSION_??.tar.gz

step 3

Enter the newly created directory with the source code and type

make -C libmoltalk install

make -C MolTalk install

make -C MolTalk/Module install

to compile and install the code

step 4

After compilation and installing the library and program, issue

cp MolTalk/MolTalk.stenv $GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT/Library/StepTalk/Environments

This file defines the classes that are available to the Smalltalk scripting language.

step 5

Test your installation with a simple call to the MolTalk interpreter:

MolTalk

and watch its output. Or, try some examples in the directory MolTalk/scripts.

CVS Version

The CVS on [bioinformatics.org] holds the current SourceCode in an accessible repository.

Follow the instructions given in: SourceCode on how to get the correct version out of the CVS, then continue with step 3.
