Functional programming language implemented in C, initially written by Dick Bruin.

Linux

Compiling under Linux is a no-brainer.

sudo apt-get install build-essential libreadline-dev

Then make inside the amanda folder.

After compiling, the amanda.sh file will dynamically import libamanda.so and run amanda. This is useful for testing. Installing amanda into /usr/local/bin and installing libamanda.so into /usr/local/lib should resolve the need for the hacky amanda.sh.

OS X

Ensure you have XCode installed, and its command-line tools. gcc will now use the GCC parser with the LLVM back-end. Once this is set up, a simple make will do.

After compiling, the amanda.sh file will dynamically import libamanda.so and run amanda. This is useful for testing. Installing amanda into /usr/local/bin and installing libamanda.so into /usr/local/lib should resolve the need for the hacky amanda.sh.

Windows

This is a bit more complex. Install MinGW. This will provide everything you need, but to access your tools, you need to alter your PATH variable. Instructions:

• Right-click "My PC", and go to properties
• Go to "Advanced system settings"
• Click on "Environment variables..."
• If PATH exists as user variable, edit it and add ; C:\MinGW\bin
• If it doesn't already exist, make a new one and add C:\MinGW\bin

mingw32-make in the amanda folder will now do your servings.

amanda.exe will locally import libamanda.dll and run just fine on its own.

Cross-compile from Linux to Windows

You need the MinGW compiler under Linux.

sudo apt-get install mingw-w64 mingw32 mingw32-binutils

Then compile using CROSSFLAG=-cross make

Completely barebones version of Amanda as provided by Dick Bruin.

This version provided by Dick Bruin is free of any rights. Exact quote:

"onder geen enkele licentie. Het staat ze vrij te veranderen wat ze willen. Als ze het publiceren, dan graag vermelden dat er geen rechten aan kunnen worden verbonden. Mijn naam hoeft niet genoemd te worden."

This fork will only accept contributions licensed (or not) under an (un)license that has yet to be decided. If a completely public domain, unedited version of Amanda is desired, this commit is the desired commit to fork.

Java GUI removed. Any UI implementations of Amanda should not have to re-implement Amanda proper. Any UI implementations henceforth should be their own project, and should have Amanda as a dependency rather than as an extra component.

Several improvements have been applied to Amanda by students of NHL Hogeschool. This version - insofar I am concerned - does not contain any of those patches. These patches may be reapplied upon further inspection, under the assumption that their patches were public domain contributions.

This repository will (most likely) be abandoned by the end of the school year (Summer 2014). Two teams consisting of approximately four members each will be working on this repository for three months. One team will work on the core. The other team will implement additional functionality.

Future implementations of Amanda should preferably fork from the last commit to this repository. Future IDE implementations of Amanda should treat Amanda as a separate dependency for their program, and start a new blank repository. In case core Amanda tweaks are necessary to implement IDE functionality, such a team should both fork from the last commit to this repository (where the core patches will be applied) and create a new blank repository (where the IDE will be developed from scratch). The same applies to any other non-core projects involving Amanda, unless such projects aim to create new standard libraries. Sensibility is required in that decision-making.
