Windows
Install and Configure Cygwin to Run Daffodil
In the Windows Command Line (cmd.exe), CD to your local DFDL repository. Default is likely "C:\Users\UserName\git\dfdl".
The command line of Daffodil is invoked through an auto-generated bash script. To generate the script type the following command:
sbt stage
The script is created in daffodil-core/target/start
In Cygwin:
To execute daffodil:
$ ./daffodil-core/target/start <options>
To determine the usage, execute the script with the --help option
$ ./daffodil-core/target/start --help
The result of the above command should display several help options for the daffodil program. If it doesn't, please make sure that you've followed all of the previous steps.
From Cygwin, try this:
$ ./daffodil-core/target/start parse -s daffodil-core/src/test/resources/test-suite/tresys-contributed/AB.dfdl.xsd daffodil-core/src/test/resources/test-suite/tresys-contributed/AB006.in
If the above executes and prints out an infoset as a result, you've set up everything correctly and you're ready to start using Daffodil!
