Estimated hours taken: 0.5 Some minor fixes for the Debian distribution. debian/rules: Delete a reference to the file msc.in, since that file is no longer part of the Mercury source distribution, now that we have dropped support for SICStus Prolog. debian/copyright: Update the URL for the Mercury ftp site. Fix a few things that were missing (this file previously ended in an incomplete sentence).
mercury for DEBIAN ------------------ This is Mercury compiler packaged for Debian. Some remarks on compiling the source package: Mercury is written in Mercury. It is normally shipped with pre-compiled C sources and these are compiled using a C compiler in order to bootstrap. Packaging using these pre-compiled C sources is a pain, however, so the Debian Mercury package assumes that if you want to rebuild from the sources you will have a Mercury compiler already installed. If you are porting to a new platform you will need to install the Mercury compiler in /usr/local and build the package using it to download. The Mercury compiler tarball with pre-compiled C files can be found on the Mercury ftp site: ftp://ftp.mercury.cs.mu.oz.au/pub/mercury/ as mercury-compiler-(version).tar.gz -- Tyson Dowd <trd@cs.mu.oz.au> Mon, 22 Mar 1999 16:33:10 +1100
