[antlr-interest] [HELP][MACOSX] CLASSPATH problems

[John Ridgway]

If you use Fink, then you can install Antlr as simply as:
   fink install antlr3
though you have to have fink configured to use the unstable tree.   
Then running Antlr becomes
   java org.antlr.Tool ...

Without fink you'll need to set the CLASSPATH environment variable.   
In sh descendants, such as bash, the following works:
CLASSPATH=/antlr-3.0.1/lib/antlr-3.0.1.jar:/antlr-3.0.1/lib/ 
antlr-2.7.7.jar:/antlr-3.0.1/lib/stringtemplate-3.1b1.jar
export CLASSPATH

In csh descendants I believe (though I don't use tcsh) you need the  
following:
setenv CLASSPATH /antlr-3.0.1/lib/antlr-3.0.1.jar:/antlr-3.0.1/lib/ 
antlr-2.7.7.jar:/antlr-3.0.1/lib/stringtemplate-3.1b1.jar

Peace
- John
