[grey . havens]

A package was submitted to savannah.gnu.org.
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden


Raphaël Poss <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: lgpl
Other License: 
Package: An Extensible C++ Function Shell
System name: cppsh
This package does NOT want to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

Description:
The goal of my project is to develop a command interpreter for
C++ library functions.

Originally part of a R&D work on finite state machines that led to
a whole development platform with a generic C++ library, it was 
intented to allow a user to manipulate the data structures defined
in the library dynamically.
It has since evolved into a mature, autonomous C++ shell, which is
able to load dynamically so-called \"modules\" of functions and make them
available as commands, as a scriptable functional language.

Now that it is completely autoconf\'ed, the source tree is mature
for public distribution and group work. I am looking forward using
Savannah\'s services to centralize the source tree.

All sources are currently covered by the LGPL.

Other Software Required:
- recent versions of autotools:
    autoconf 2.53, automake 1.6, libtool 1.4.2
- a decent C++ compiler: 
    gcc 3 known to work, and regular ports are made to 2.95
- GNU flex (high requirements on the quality of the generated C++ code)


Other Comments:
This project is somewhat related to many other R&D works at LRDE,
EPITA, France.
