[vwnc] SmaCC tutorial error

I am trying to run the SmaCC tutorial (Calculator example) but it chokes on the grammar generation (scannerDefinition is nil in SmaCCGrammar>>keywordRegularExpressionFor:)

Why is this not working?

Most likely you are using the parcels shipped on the VW cd. I don't know
who made those parcels, but they don't work. I believe this was fixed in
VW7.6, but earlier versions have buggy parcels. You can get working
parcels from http://www.refactory.com/Software/SmaCC/Download.html.

Re: [vwnc] SmaCC tutorial error

sorry for not mentioning the version, but my problem occurred in a virgin 7.6 image, using the shipped parcels.

I retried with the download from your website and it worked like a charm. The parcels shipped on the CD should be updated.

You can also get the latest version from the public repository. There's even an extra bug fix to one of the packages.
