I've installed EiffelStudio on Athena. From my message to users:
EiffelStudio 5.6 has been installed on Athena for Sun and Linux. EiffelStudio
is an IDE (and command-line compiler) for the Eiffel programming language.
It is full-featured and includes the ability to automatically generate
hyperlinked html documentation.
To access it:
add eiffel
To run the IDE:
estudio
To run the command-line compiler (see also file
/mit/eiffel_v5.6/README.hello_world for more details):
ec <options> file.ace <options>
Eiffel is an object-oriented language that incorporates a number of innovative
features including "programming by contract". It comes with extensive
documentation and tutorials; the README.athena file at the top of the
eiffel_v5.6 locker has pointers to additional resources and other important
information, and there is another tutorial, in pdf format, in file
ETL_eiffel_tutorial.pdf also at the top of the locker.
IMPORTANT: Eiffel has not been designed for multi-architecture working
directories. If you work on both Sun and Linux machines, please make
sure to distinguish working directories by platform and do not mix files
between them.
