1The archive ffigen-bin-PLATFORM-gcc-GCC_VERSION.tar.gz contains:
2
3bin/h-to-ffi.sh a shell script which simplifies invocation of the
4 interface translator
5ffigen/bin/ffigen the interface translator itself, a modified version
6 of the GCC Objective C frontend
7ffigen/ginclude/* header files specific to this compiler version

9The archive's contents can be used directly if the archive is
10extracted in some directory that contains a "bin" subdirectory on the
11user's PATH, e.g., if /usr/local/bin exists on $PATH, then
12
13# may need to be root to write to /usr/local, if /usr/local even exists
14shell> tar xfz /path/to/ffigen-bin-PLATFORM-gcc-GCC_VERSION.tar.gz -C /usr/local
15
16and likewise for /usr (though /usr may be a poor choice) or ~ (if ~/bin is
17on $PATH).
18
19It's also possible to extract the archive into a working directory and
20install its contents in unrelated parts of the file system; this may
21require editing the paths in bin/h-to-ffi.sh.
