Hello all, I'm Dee Sharpe & I'm working on a port of Netsurf for Syllable
(www.syllable.org).? I've been going off of the BeOS/Haiku port, since that OS is
similar to ours.? However, there's one thing that I can't seem to grasp.? Since
Netsurf uses the Lemon parse generator & Lemon is maintained by the MySQL project, how
were yall successfully able to pull it out & use it on your platform?? We do not have
a Lemon port & since Netsurf requires it, I am trying to do a build of it.? All help
would be apprieciated!

Lemon is maintained by the guy who writes SQLite, not MySQL. It is
available as a single source download (and a runtime data file
download) that is trivial to compile.
See http://www.hwaci.com/sw/lemon/ for instructions on how to fetch and
build it.

My apologies, in my haste, I listed the wrong SQL project.? However, I was on the correct
page for Lemon before I my first email to the NetSurf list.? However, on that page, I
found 2 source files, no makefile, and no clear direction on how it should be built
correctly.? Also, there was no binary, though that wouldn't matter in the case of
Syllable, because my point is to create a Syllable binary.? Do you have any additional
help and advice for porting NetSurf over to Syllable?? I have been through the NetSurf
mailing archives to find what I could.

As I said, it's a single C source file, and a runtime data file. To
compile it;
cc -o lemon lemon.c
That's it. The lempar.c file is used as a "template" for the generated
code. I seem to recall that you can either install this in a location
and modify lemon.c to find it, or simply putting it in the same
directory as our parser's source.

Correct. See Docs/BUILDING-GTK for some instructions on how to do this.
