Formal Specifications for Verification and Synthesis

In order to build FORMULA you must acquire and build dependencies. These dependencies are not part of the FORMULA project, though the FORMULA build scripts offer assistance in downloading and compiling other Codeplex dependencies.

You must acquire and install these yourself.

1. Microsoft .NET 4.5 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30653)
2. Visual Studio 2012 or 2013 (The free "Express" version is acceptable http://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/download-visual-studio-vs#d-express-windows-desktop) 3a. Python 2.7.5 - to build dependencies (http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.5/) 3b. "python" must be in PATH
3. OPTIONAL: Visual Studio SDK to enable VS-integrated code generation. Not available for VS Express.

The FORMULA build scripts will try to automatically download these dependencies from Codeplex. Or you may compile the dependencies manually and place them in the required locations.

1. Gardens Point Scanner Generator (http://gplex.codeplex.com/)
2. Gardens Point Parser Generator (http://gppg.codeplex.com/)
3. Z3 SMT Solver (http://z3.codeplex.com/)

To automatically download and compile any missing Codeplex dependencies open a command prompt (cmd.exe):

cd Somewhere\Formula\Bld
built.bat

As long as dependency artifacts are detected, then build.bat will not try to rebuild them. If you delete external dependencies from Somewhere\Formula\Ext, then this will be detected and rebuild will occur. You can also force all dependencies to be re-acquired and rebuilt by:

cd Somewhere\Formula\Bld
built.bat -e

To manually download and compile dependencies open a command prompt:

cd Somewhere\Formula\Bld
built.bat -l

The "-l" option lists the URLs to download the required sources and lists where the compiled artifacts must be placed in order for FORMULA to find them.

Release version - open a command prompt:

cd Somewhere\Formula\Bld
built.bat

Debug version - open a command prompt:

cd Somewhere\Formula\Bld
built.bat -d

Outputs of the build are placed in Somewhere\Formula\Bld\Drops

cd Somewhere\Formula\Tst
test.bat

As a side effect, FORMULA will be rebuilt with build.bat -d and regressions will be run against the x86 debug version placed in the Bld\Drops folder.
