What
Delphi Yacc & Lex is a parser generator toolset for Delphi and Kylix, based on Turbo Pascal Lex and Yacc, version 4.1a, by Albert Graëf et al [1].

Why
The primary goal of the project is to clean up the code, and improve compatibility and maintainability with modern versions and compilers of the Pascal language (such as Delphi and Kylix).

Where
All releases are available as .tgz and .zip source archives. Additionally, since release 1.3, precompiled binaries are available for Debian.

• 1.4
  • Debian package: dyacclex_1.4-1_i386.deb (changes)
  • Linux source: dyacclex-1.4.tar.gz (MD5 signature)
  • Windows source: dyacclex-1.4.zip (MD5 signature)
• 1.3
  • Debian package: dyacclex_1.3-1_i386.deb (changes)
  • Linux source: dyacclex-1.3.tar.gz (MD5 signature)
  • Windows source: dyacclex-1.3.zip (MD5 signature)

Compilation
Compiling DYACCLEX is pretty straightforward, you only need the following ingredients:

• Linux
  • Borland Kylix 3
  • GNU make (usually pre-installed on your system)
• Windows
  • Borland Delphi 6 or higher
  • GNU make (available from http://www.grendelproject.nl/dls/gnumake-win32.zip)

If these ingredients are present, you then enter 'make'. When the process terminates succesfully, you can find executables in the 'src/lex' and 'src/yacc' directories.

Installation
If you want to move the binaries (dyacc.exe and dlex.exe on a Windows machine, dyacc and dlex on a Linux machine), make sure you copy yylex.cod and yyparse.cod along with them. Additionally, on Linux, yylex.cod and yyparse.cod can be placed in /usr/share/dyacclex/.

All files generated by dyacc need yacclib.pas, and all files generated by dlex need lexlib.pas. Both units can be found in the 'src' directory.
