I cannot compile the compiler. Under Ubuntu (windows 10)

etos-master$ make for subdir in compiler bench bin; do \ target=echo all-recursive | sed 's/-recursive//'; \ install_dir="pwd`/bin/";
echo making $target in $subdir;
(cd $subdir && INSTALL_DIR="$install_dir" GSC="time gsc" make $target) || exit 1;
done
making all in compiler
make[1]: Entering directory '/etos-master/compiler'
./build-parser
Building "erlang.scm"...make[1]: *** [Makefile:29: erlang.scm] Segmentation fault (core dumped)
make[1]: Leaving directory '/etos-master/compiler'
make: *** [Makefile:27: all-recursive] Error 1

`

any help?

I recently found a reference to this project on the Erlang site, where it says it is no longer under active development. Indeed, the page that they link to has broken links for the downloads. (I found this github project by doing a web search for "ETOS" instead.)

I vaguely remember ETOS from days gone by on the erlang-questions mailing list; I suppose HIPE has basically surpassed it these days. But it's still an interesting project, if only for the ability to parse Erlang programs into Scheme data.

But the only part that seems to have an open-source license is the parser generator. The rest (including the grammar definition file) is "copyright, all rights reserved," unless I missed something. This naturally makes me a bit reluctant to hack on it. Any chance of the legal status of the code changing to something more permissive?
