Re: packaging C interpreter

[Lifeng Sun <lifongsun@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Just FYI, a C/C++ interpreter called CINT [1] is embeded in CERN ROOT
('root-system' package in Debian) [2-3].


[1] http://root.cern.ch/drupal/content/cint
[2] http://root.cern.ch/
[3] http://packages.qa.debian.org/r/root-system.html


Regards,
Lifeng
