Compiling and executing the Shakespeare Programming Language translator spl2c on Mac OS X 10.6 results in warnings/errors

Question

I wanted to experiment with the Shakespeare programming language, so I downloaded it from here and executed the Makefile using cd spl-1.2.1 Make.

Answer 1

This is a defect in a regular expression in the lexical parser.

I forked the language.

I fixed the issue.

I notified the original authors.

Here's a release of the language that includes the fix for your enjoyment.

There are still a few warnings, but they don't seem to affect anything. Let me know if you find any other functional problems and I'll see what I can do with them.

(Roffel - this would be necromancy, if not for the fact that nobody cares about this problem.)
