INTRODUCTION
|
|
|
|
Mercury is in the process of being ported to use the Microsoft Visual
|
|
C++ 6
|
|
compiler. However not all dependencies on Cygwin have been removed and
|
|
cygwin is still required for installation (see README.MS-Windows).
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
CONFIGURATION
|
|
|
|
To use MSVC to build the compiler issue the following configure command.
|
|
|
|
CC='CL /nologo' CPP='CL /nologo /E' configure
|
|
|
|
configure defaults to using the hlc.gc grade as this is the only grade
|
|
currently supported.

INSTALLING ON NETWORK DRIVES
|
|
|
|
If you want to install on the machine, foo, in the directory \usr\local
|
|
you need to add `--prefix //foo/usr/local' as an option to configure.
|
|
|
|
Then ensure that the directory that you wish to install into is mounted
|
|
somewhere, ie
|
|
|
|
mount //foo/usr/local /temp_mount_point
|
|
|
|
and then use that mount point as the location to install into
|
|
|
|
make install INSTALL_PREFIX=/temp_mount_point
|
|
|
|
This avoids the problem that
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p //foo/usr/local/xxx
|
|
|
|
fails.

NONE.* GRADES
|
|
|
|
Are not supported yet! But if they were and you have a file with
|
|
a large
|
|
switch in it you need to pass the following flag to mmc
|
|
|
|
--max-jump-table-size 512
|
|
|
|
