I'm interested in doing a rather ambitious project concerning compiler construction tools. My tools will parse specification files containing for example lalr parser specifications. The specifications will contain embedded semantic actions which i want to allow writing in any object-oriented language. The specifications will name a scripting language and a target language module . Then my tool will create an embedded interpreter for the scripting language, which will load a target language module written in the scripting language, and use it to generate code in the target language.
I want to provide my system as open source. Now my basic problem is how to find what scripting languages are installed on a users system, and generate the necessary makefiles automatically. I will be using swig for interface creation. I want to support at least perl and python, with target language support for at least java and c++ initially. I probably want to support codegenerators written in ruby and tcl as well. Any help would be appreciated.
