During an attempt to build the java back-end project with a self-compiled version of strategoxt I encountered an error saying it could not find parse-stratego. This command was however reachable from the command line and I noticed which pointed to the baseline version.

Seeing that I wanted it to use the “new” version I changed line 229 of java/Makefile.am from

parse-stratego -i $< -o $@ to $(STRATEGOXT)/bin/parse-stratego -i $< -o $@

This fixed the issue and made it compile just fine. Is this working as intended or is it a bug?

That sounds like a good fix. FWIW, it’s probably easy to put your nix profile with Stratego on your PATH anyway ;)

That’s the thing though, it is. I can just do which parse-stratego and it works, I can execute it as well. That’s something that kinda puzzled me, I don’t know why it didn’t just use the baseline parse-stratego command.
