Re: How to re-build Stella/PL

Kambiz,

the official interface for generating translations and
compiling/loading system is `make-system'.  For example,
to retranslate some changed files in the STELLA system you'd simply
call:

(make-system "stella")

This will retranslate any files that changed and - in Lisp only - also
recompile and reload them.  To force translation of all files, you'd
say:

(make-system "stella" :force-translation? TRUE)

You can also explicitly specify the output language you want to use,
for example,

(make-system "stella" :java :force-translation? TRUE)

(by default, the native language of your current STELLA program is used).

Be very careful when you translate changes to STELLA, you are
modifying the compiler and can break it which will then prevent you to
do any further translations with it (which means you'd have to revert
to a functioning version first).

Translation of PowerLoom files is similar, for example (in Lisp):

(make-system "logic" force-translation? TRUE)

Hope that helps,

Hans
