I don't quite understand the build instruction for antlr myself. I
did the following (I think):
git clone git://github.com/antlr/antlr.git antlr
cd antlr
patch -p 0 < ${path to libmwparser}/antlr.patch
mvn -N install
cd antlr3-maven-archetype
mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true install
cd ../antlr3-maven-plugin
mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true install
cd ../runtime/Java
mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true install
cd ../../tool
mvn -Dmaven.test.skip=true install
I dont know if there is any install script, but you should place the
antlr, antlr-runtime, and stringtemplate jar files somewhere
appropriate and create a script called 'antlr3' somewhere in your path:
#!/bin/sh
CLASSPATH=/usr/share/java/stringtemplate.jar:/usr/share/java/antlr3.jar:/usr/share/java/antlr3-runtime.jar
exec java -cp $CLASSPATH org.antlr.Tool "$@"
As for the C runtime, something like this should work:
cd ../runtime/C
aclocal
automake --add-missing
autoconf
./configure
make
make install

There is a Javascript backend available for Antlr. Have you tried it?
Of course, there would still be a lot of work in porting the supporting
C code that implements, for instance, the contexts.
