PortSystem 1.0

Name: cyclone
Version: 20070323
Category: lang devel
Platform: darwin
Maintainers: mww
Description: safe programming language based on C
Long Description: Cyclone is a programming language based on C that is safe, meaning that it rules out programs that have buffer overflows, dangling pointers, format string attacks, and so on. High-level, type-safe languages, such as Java, Scheme, or ML also provide safety, but they don't give the same control over data representations and memory management that C does (witness the fact that the run-time systems for these languages are usually written in C.) Furthermore, porting legacy C code to these languages or interfacing with legacy C libraries is a difficult and error-prone process. The goal of Cyclone is to give programmers the same low-level control and performance of C without sacrificing safety, and to make it easy to port or interface with legacy C code.

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/cyclone
%  sudo port install cyclone  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching cyclone
--->  Verifying checksum for cyclone
--->  Extracting cyclone
--->  Configuring cyclone
--->  Building cyclone with target all

--->  Staging cyclone into destroot

--->  Installing cyclone

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using cyclone with these commands:

%  man cyclone
%  apropos cyclone
%  which cyclone
%  locate cyclone
