Scalit

This release adds support for the scalac compiler: A script is provided that patches the latest stable release of Scala (as of this date, it is 2.7.6). You can check out the source with

$ svn co http://lampsvn.epfl.ch/svn-repos/scala/scala/tags/R_2_7_6_final scala

After having built the source release of Scalit (by running ./bootstrap.sh and then make jar in the source directory), you can now run the following script:

$ ./patch_my_compiler.sh $YOUR_SCALA_CHECKOUT_PATH

If everything went according to plan, the scala distribution that you will build will now have support for literate programs. You can now compile them with scalac yourfile.nw, mix with non-literate files, and, most importantly, use all the command line switches of the real compiler.

I hope this enables you to have more fun writing your programs. If you find bugs, you can as always contact me.

Note: You still have the possibility to install Scalit without compiler support by following the instructions in the README. If, however, you like scalac support, you don't have to call make install anymore.
