These packages are used by Babel maintainers in the course
of normal development. You'll need these only if you start
rewriting code in Babel's distribution.
- Automake: Part of GNU Autotools (see
http://www.gnu.org/software/automake).
Check the configure.ac
file to determine exactly which version we use. The configure script
will disable autoconf if it detects the slightest variation from
the version we prescribe.

- Libtool: Part of GNU Autotools (see
http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool).
Note that we often find need to make minor tweeks to ltmain.sh
so a fresh download may generate slightly worse results on
some platforms.
- m4: Contact us for a patched version that we use
(we overflow buffers in the distributed version).
- JavaCC: This Java Compiler Compiler is what we
use to generate the SIDL parser in Babel. If you are interested
in experimenting with changing the SIDL grammar, then edit
the compiler/gov/llnl/babel/parsers/sidl/sidl.jj file and
rebuilt the parser with this tool. Information available at
https://javacc.dev.java.net.
- LaTeX2HTML: This is used to generate HTML the HTML version
of our manuals.
- perl: Needed by automake, LaTeX2HTML and other bits and pieces.
