# INSTALL - installation instructions and installation script
# for the binary distribution of Mercury.
#
# You need GNU C (3.4 or later) and GNU Make (3.69 or later) in order
# to use Mercury, though you don't need them to install this distribution.
# To use the Mercury debugger, you may also need GNU Readline.
#
# Step 0. Extract the files from the gzipped tar archive.
#
# Note: the mercury-*.tar.gz file itself contains
# some other .tar.gz files (lib.tar.gz, info.tar.gz).
# Do NOT mess with these nested .tar.gz files;
# they will be extracted automatically in step 2.
#
# Step 1. Run this script. (Just type `sh INSTALL'.)
#
# By default, the files will be installed in the directory
# /usr/local/mercury-@VERSION@.
# If you want the files to be installed someplace else,
# use the `--prefix <directory>' option to `INSTALL'.
#
# For a list of other configuration options, use
# `sh INSTALL --help'.
# `--prefix <directory>', if specified, must precede any
# other options.
#
# Step 3. Check the permissions on the installed files.
# Add /usr/local/mercury-@VERSION@/bin to your PATH, and
# add /usr/local/mercury-@VERSION@/man to your MANPATH.
# add /usr/local/mercury-@VERSION@/info to your INFOPATH.
# You can also add a WWW link to the Mercury documentation in
# /usr/local/mercury-@VERSION@/lib/mercury/html to your WWW
# home page, and you may want to print out a hard-copy of the
# documentation from the DVI files in
# /usr/local/mercury-@VERSION@/lib/mercury/doc.
#
# If the binary distribution includes the deep profiler, then check
# whether "make install" was able to copy scripts/mdprof to the web
# server's CGI directory (normally /usr/lib/cgi-bin). This directory
# is often writeable only by root or by the web server administrator,
# so you may need more than your usual set of privileges to do the
# copy (i.e. you may need to "su" to the appropriate user).
#
# To use the emacs debugger interface ("M-x mdb"), you also need to
# add the following lines to the `.emacs' file in your home directory:
#
# (setq load-path (cons (expand-file-name
# "/usr/local/mercury-@VERSION@/lib/mercury/elisp") load-path))
# (autoload 'mdb "gud" "Invoke the Mercury debugger" t)
#
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------#
#
# De-installation:
# ----------------
#
# You may eventually want to uninstall this version of Mercury
# (to free up disk space so you can install the next version ;-).
# If you installed in the default location, you can simply
# use `rm -rf /usr/local/mercury-@VERSION@' to uninstall.
