Build Status

Yet Another Scheme Interpreter.

Building

The following packages need to install before build:

Debian/Ubuntu Installation:

sudo apt-get install flex bison

Then run the following:

git clone https://github.com/hmgle/yascm.git
cd yascm
make

If having trouble installing flex/bison, or you don't want to install flex/bison, you can clone the no-flex-bison branch:

git clone -b no-flex-bison https://github.com/hmgle/yascm.git
cd yascm
make
