Hi Andrew,
I just svn-ed the latest and I got the same error. I'm no parrot expert
but it appears it's looking for the include file
.include 'src/abc_gen.pir'
and there's no such file. It appears the generated (?) abc_gen.pir file
isn't there. Other langs have that (lua/src/lua.pir) so my guess is its
generated. So, at the top level I ran:
/parrot # find . -name pgc.pir
and saw:
./languages/abc/config/makefiles/root.in: $(PARROT)
$(PGE_DIR)/pgc.pir --output=src/abc_gen.pir src/abc.pg
so I ran:
parrot/ #./parrot compilers/pge/pgc.pir
--output=languages/abc/src/abc_gen.pir languages/abc/src/abc.pg
and now I 've got the abc_gen.pir file. Soooo looking in that
makefiles/root.in file, there's also a line for PASTGrammar_gen.pir,
another needed, generated file so:
parrot/ # ./parrot compilers/tge/tgc.pir
--output=languages/abc/src/PASTGrammar_gen.pir
languages/abc/src/PASTGrammar.tg
and then create the abc.pbc (a test?):
parrot/ #cd languages/abc
parrot/languages/abc # ../../parrot -o abc.pbc abc.pir
and it works!
parrot/languages/abc # ../../parrot abc.pir

Note, I had to modify
config/init/hints/linux.pm
to comment out the -fvisibility=hidden cflag
else {
# hide non-exported symbols
#$cflags .= ' -fvisibility=hidden';
as my perl Makefile.pl got a test.cco
c1: error: unrecognized option `-fvisibility=hidden'

humility, and among other things he avoids clever tricks like the
plague. -- Edsger Dijkstra
