The shortest way to write and compile a Pizza program successfully
Install a Java run-time environment
You'll find Java run-time environments (JREs) e.g. on
Sun Microsystem's site. The Pizza
compiler is known to work with the Java 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition,
version 1.3.1.
Download and install the JRE.
To verify your installation run java -version. This should say something
like
java version "1.3.1"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.1-b24)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.3.1-b24, mixed mode)
Download the latest Pizza release
Pizza distributions are found at
Sourceforge.net.
You can simply download the binary release which is called something like pizza-x.x.jar.
Put the jar file where you think is a good place to install programs. On Microsoft Windows you
might want to use C:\Java\Pizza\. For Unix platforms /usr/local/pizza/ might be
the place for it. We'll refer to the place where you installed it as $PIZZA_HOME.
To verify your Pizza installation run java -jar $PIZZA_HOME/pizza-x.x.jar -version. This
should say something like
Pizza v1.0g, 1-October-2001, Copyright (c) 1996-98 Martin Odersky.
further information at http://pizzacompiler.sourceforge.net
Whenever you want to run the Pizza compiler, you'll use java -jar $PIZZA_HOME/pizza-x.x.jar
and add any parameters to it.
Writing a Pizza program
From here you might want to go on to the Pizza tutorial which explains how to use
the Pizza specific features in the language.
