Compilation and Execution Procedures

The general compiling sequence for the transputer can be seen in the diagram below:

All of the inmos commands needed to compile and execute a program can be found under the directory specified in the Resource File page, under the inmos executable's path heading. At link time (ilink), some libraries associated with the transputer (*.lnk) and with the Sunnyside devices (*.lib) functions must be included to produce the (*.lku) files. All of those libraries are stored under the library path, which is defined in the Resource File page, under the inmos library path heading.

For more details on the compilation, please refer to the dependency list of the "lku" files or the Makefile for an example on how to compile an executable. Problem with the system current Makefile is discussed in the Current Problems and Recommendations section

The program irun is a front-end to the inmos program iserver. To execute a program on the transputers, the user simply has to enter irun followed by the name of the executable program (do not include the .btl extension) he/she wants to run, from the command line of the workstation listed in the Resource File page.
