PEBL: The Psychology Experiment Building Language

Interested in compiling PEBL yourself, or helping make PEBL a better system? Contact us at pebl-list@lists.sourceforge.net.. To compile PEBL from scratch, you need to have several third-party libraries and tools. Here is a list with links to their websites. Precompiled versions for Windows and Mac come with these libraries precompiled.

The SDL Simple DirectMedia Layer Version 1.2

A cross-platform game programming library

SDL_image 1.2

A sublibrary of SDL for reading and displaying different images. (Requires external libraries for supporting PNG (libpng and Zlib), tiff, and jpeg formats.)

SDL_ttf 2.0

A sublibrary of SDL for displaying truetype fonts; requires TrueType 2.0

FreeType 2.0 or higher

A library used by SDL_ttf to load and render ttf fonts

SDL_gfx 2.0.13

A sublibrary of SDL for generating and manipulating simple graphic primitives (lines, shapes, etc.)

GNU Bison

GNU's LALR parser generator, compatible with Yacc. Not needed unless you want to change the grammar.

GNU Flex

GNU's lexer, compatible with lex. Not needed unless you want to change the lexer

STL: The C++ Standard Template Library

This should come with any C++ compiler, but PEBL makes heavy use of STL containers and algorithms

MinGW Distribution

Windows version is possible thanks to the MinGW collection, which includes ports of g++, bison, flex, and other tools to the windows platform

Dev-C++ IDE for Windows

The windows version is developed using Bloodshed's excellent Dev-C++ IDE and GCC.
