      1  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
      2  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer Instructions for integrating iASL compiler into MS VC++ 6.0 environment.
      3  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
      4  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer Part 1.  Integration as a custom tool
      5  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
      6  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer This procedure adds the iASL compiler as a custom tool that can be used
      7  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer to compile ASL source files.  The output is sent to the VC output 
      8  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer window.
      9  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
     10  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer a) Select Tools->Customize.
     11  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
     12  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer b) Select the "Tools" tab.
     13  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
     14  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer c) Scroll down to the bottom of the "Menu Contents" window.  There you
     15  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer    will see an empty rectangle.  Click in the rectangle to enter a 
     16  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer    name for this tool.
     17  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
     18  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer d) Type "iASL Compiler" in the box and hit enter.  You can now edit
     19  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer    the other fields for this new custom tool.
     20  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
     21  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer e) Enter the following into the fields:
     22  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
     23  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer    Command:             C:\Acpi\iasl.exe
     24  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer    Arguments:           -e "$(FilePath)"
     25  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer    Initial Directory    "$(FileDir)"
     26  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer    Use Output Window    <Check this option>
     27  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
     28  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer    "Command" must be the path to wherever you copied the compiler.
     29  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer    "-e" instructs the compiler to produce messages appropriate for VC.
     30  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer    Quotes around FilePath and FileDir enable spaces in filenames.
     31  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
     32  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer f) Select "Close".
     33  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
     34  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer These steps will add the compiler to the tools menu as a custom tool.
     35  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer By enabling "Use Output Window", you can click on error messages in
     36  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer the output window and the source file and source line will be
     37  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer automatically displayed by VC.  Also, you can use F4 to step through
     38  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer the messages and the corresponding source line(s).
     39  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
     40  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
     41  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer Part 2.  Integration into a project build
     42  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
     43  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer This procedure creates a project that compiles ASL files to AML.
     44  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
     45  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer a) Create a new, empty project and add your .ASL files to the project
     46  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
     47  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer b) For all ASL files in the project, specify a custom build (under
     48  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer Project/Settings/CustomBuild with the following settings (or similar):
     49  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
     50  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer Commands:
     51  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer c:\acpi\libraries\iasl.exe -vs -vi "$(InputPath)"
     52  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
     53  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer Output:
     54  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer $(InputDir)\$(InputPath).aml
     55  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer

     58  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer Compiler Generation From Source
     59  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
     60  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer Generation of the ASL compiler from source code requires these items:
     61  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
     62  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
     63  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer Required Tools
     64  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 1) The Flex (or Lex) lexical analyzer generator.
     65  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 2) The Bison (or Yacc) parser generator.
     66  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 3) An ANSI C compiler.
     67  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
     68  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
     69  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer Required Source Code.
     70  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
     71  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer There are three major source code components that are required to 
     72  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer generate the compiler:
     73  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 
     74  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 1) The ASL compiler source.
     75  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 2) The ACPI CA Core Subsystem source.  In particular, the Namespace Manager
     76  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer      component is used to create an internal ACPI namespace and symbol table,
     77  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer      and the AML Interpreter is used to evaluate constant expressions.
     78  1.1.1.1.2.2  bouyer 3) The Common source for all ACPI components.
