Here's the Nasal standalone interpreter as part of SimGear: https://gitorious.org/~hooray/fg/hoorays-simgear/commits/topics/nasal-standalone | |||
To build it: | |||
<pre> | |||
cd $SG_SRC | |||
mkdir BUILD | |||
cd BUILD | |||
cmake ../ -DENABLE_TESTS=ON -DSIMGEAR_HEADLESS=ON -DENABLE_SOUND=OFF -D_WIN32=1 | |||
make | |||
</pre> | |||
People not using git, can also directly download the source code: https://gitorious.org/fg/hoorays-simgear/archive-tarball/topics/nasal-standalone | |||
(Use 7Zip or IZArc to extract the tarball. Then follow the build instructions (you can also use the cmake GUI for those). | |||
Basically | |||
*create and use a separate build folder, separate from the source tree | |||
* configure the build via -DENABLE_TESTS=ON -DSIMGEAR_HEADLESS=ON -DENABLE_SOUND=OFF -D_WIN32=1 | |||
* build | |||
* report back | |||
Let us know if there are still any windows-specific build errors so that we can fix the config file. It should give you a "nasal-bin.exe" in $SG_BUILD/simgear/nasal/ that runs just Nasal scripts, no FG APIs whatsoever. | |||
You should be able to "make test" to run a bunch of standard Nasal tests from the original Nasal repository. | |||
Okay, I have checked that the build actually works for Windows using the MingW compiler - I am getting a nasal-bin.exe, which I cannot test currently because I don't have a Windows VM available: http://www.speedyshare.com/MbBTA/download/nasal-bin.exe | |||
To run it, open a shell (START/EXECUTE cmd/command) and go to the folder of the binary, add a simple Nasal script and run "nasal-bin script.nas" | |||
