Downloaded the two files from given link:
http://cs.nyu.edu/xtc/xtc-core-2.3.0.zip
http://cs.nyu.edu/xtc/xtc-testsuite-2.3.0.zip

no readme or build instrcutions that I could find, tried to build from current dir and got following result:

student@Eden:~/temp/repo/xtc$ make
make -C /xtc classes
make: *** /xtc: No such file or directory.  Stop.
make: *** [/xtc.class] Error 2
student@Eden:~/temp/repo/xtc$ 

I tried taking off -C $* from the commands that were making it go into the dir that didn't exist, this simple made the infite looping discribed in 2nd build. I changed it back after determining that didn't work

I nocited inside the src dir there was another folder called xtc, thinking this might be the folder it's looking for, I move it to the top level dir. This gave the same error as without changine anything.

I noticed inside the Makefile it uses a var named SOURCE_DIR that is blank, so I set that as the src folder and try again, this simple says:
student@Eden:~/temp/repo/xtc/src$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

without a readme I'm blindly trying to build this.

extract both core and testsuite
change setup.sh to have an absolute path to folder you are in
could replace ~ with `pwd`
>. ./setup.sh

After getting that built correctly was quick work to find this guide that has come example commands to run:
http://cs.nyu.edu/rgrimm/xtc/SuperC.pdf

using these commands and the data given in the test jar file it seems to be working.
