From GF to Julian

I'm trying to work my self from GF over to Julius.

The Julian grammar is a modified version of a BNF.

GF can generate SRGS in both Augmented BNF and XML.

GF on Ubuntu

This is just a newbie reminder on how to get GF working under Ubuntu:

1. Download the GF executable from this link.

2. Installation instructions:

$ gunzip gf-3.1.6-bin-i486-linux.gz

$ sudo mv gf-3.1.6-bin-i486-linux.gz /usr/local/bin/gf

$ sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/gf

$ gf

Getting Ack to Work in Vim on Ubuntu

Text editor search integration for Vim: plugin for ack. If you’re running Ubuntu, when you try the plugin you’ll likely encounter the message ”/bin/bash: ack: command not found”.

According the the instructions on the ack Vim plugin page you have to install it with “sudo aptitude install ack-grep”. After that, you’ll still get “/bin/bash: ack: command not found”. The solution?

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/ack-grep /usr/local/bin/ack
