The idea is that you compile your Icon program to ucode +files (.u1, .u2). 'itweak' then tweaks the ucode, inserting potential +breakpoints. The resulting ucode files are linked with a debugging +run-time and off you go. The 'itweak' system provides you with most of +the facilities you would expect from an interactive debugger, +including the ability to evaluate a wide range of Icon expressions. + +PREREQUISITES + +'itweak' requires Icon 8.10 or higher. It is completely written in +Icon, and thus as portable as Icon itself. + +INSTANT ITWEAK -- UNIX + +Assuming you have the itweak distribution in the form of a file named +'itweak-<version>.tar.gz' (where <version> is a version designator): +uncompress and untar the file. This can be done in a single step, + + gunzip < itweak-<version>.tar.gz | tar xvf - + +This will create an installation directory in the current directory. +The name of the installation directory will be 'itweak-<version>'. + +To install itweak, type 'make' in the installation directory. Run a +demo session by typing 'make demo'. + +OTHER SYSTEMS -- NOT SO INSTANT + +For systems other than Unix, and for more information, please refer to +the documentation. + +DOCUMENTATION + +There is a description in the form of an HTML file. |
