Mercury on Linux
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
This file documents the Linux/x86 and Linux/x86_64 ports.
|
|
|
|
For the Linux/AArch64 (ARM64) port, see
|
|
[README.Linux-aarch64.md](README.Linux-aarch64.md).
|
|
|
|
For the Linux/PowerPC port, see
|
|
[README.Linux-PPC.md](README.Linux-PPC.md).
|
|
|
|
For the Linux/Motorola 68000 port, see
|
|
[README.Linux-m68k.md](README.Linux-m68k.md).
|
|
|
|
(Ports to Linux on other architectures have not yet been attempted, but should
|
|
not be difficult.)
|
|
|
|
If you are installing on x86, then also see [README.x86.md](README.x86.md).

Building a 32-bit Mercury Compiler on 64-bit Linux
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
To build a 32-bit Mercury compiler on 64-bit Linux, follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Ensure that the 32-bit (e.g. i686 etc) packages for the C compiler and
|
|
libraries are available on the build system.
|
|
|
|
2. Ensure that you have a working Mercury compiler in your PATH
|
|
to bootstrap from.
|
|
|
|
3. Run `./prepare.sh` and then invoke `configure` as follows:
|
|
|
|
./configure --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --with-cc="gcc -m32"
|
|
|
|
4. Do `mmake; mmake install` as normal.
