Branches: main Let Mercury be built with a MinGW cross-compiler. tools/configure_mingw_cross: Add shell script to prepare for cross-compilation. README.MinGW-cross: Document how to use the shell script. configure.in: Mmake.common.in: Set a new variable CROSS_COMPILING. Set FULLARCH and BUILD_C_PROGS_FOR_BUILD_SYSTEM variables to be passed to the Boehm GC build system. Use $host-ar for AR when cross-compiling. m4/mercury.m4: Determine gcc version with gcc -dumpversion instead of building a program and running it. Don't run test for mercury_cv_cc_type if set explicitly. Mmake.workspace: Use the default c2init and mkinit when cross-compiling. The copies in the util directory would not be usable then. boehm_gc/Mmakefile: Pass configured values of AR, RANLIB down to sub-make. boehm_gc/Makefile.direct: boehm_gc/build_atomic_ops.sh: Use configured value from Mmake.common for HOSTCC. Pass --host when configuring libatomic_ops. util/Mmakefile: Make tools with .exe suffixes on Windows. Mmakefile: Use the bootstrap compiler to build libgrades when cross-compiling. Conform to changed target names in the util directory. compiler/Mmakefile: deep_profiler/Mmakefile: profiler/Mmakefile: slice/Mmakefile: Conform to changed target names in the util directory. Makefile: Clean .exe files on Windows.

This file documents the port of Mercury to MS Windows.

Supported versions of Windows
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Mercury has been tested with the following versions of Windows:
|
|
|
|
* Windows XP SP3
|
|
* Windows 7
|
|
* Windows Server 2008 R2
|
|
|
|
It should also work with Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista but we have
|
|
not tested it with those.
|
|
|
|
In the past Mercury worked with Windows, 95, 98, ME, 2000, and NT but we no
|
|
longer actively maintain support for those versions.

Building Mercury on Windows
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
The Mercury build process requires the use of a number of Unix tools such as sh
|
|
and make. This means that a Unix emulation environment is required to build
|
|
Mercury on Windows.
|
|
|
|
Two such environments are supported:
|
|
|
|
1. Cygwin (www.cygwin.com). For instructions on how to install Mercury
|
|
under Cygwin see README.Cygwin.
|
|
|
|
2. MSYS (www.mingw.org). For instructions on how to install Mercury
|
|
under MSYS see README.MinGW.
|
|
|
|
Mercury can also be built using the MS Visual C compiler, although one of
|
|
the above environments is still required for the build process. See
|
|
README.MS-VisualC for instructions on how to build Mercury with the
|
|
MS Visual C compiler.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: while a Unix emulation environment is required to build Mercury on
|
|
Windows, one is NOT required to use Mercury on Windows.

Building Mercury for Windows on Linux

-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can cross-compile Mercury on Linux with a MinGW
|
|
cross-compiler. See README.MinGW-cross.
