Make it easier to use shared libraries on x86 with
`mmc --make'.
There is now a third kind of object file, `.lpic_o'.
These files are compiled with `--pic-reg' but not with
CFLAGS_FOR_PIC, so they can be linked with shared Mercury
libraries.
On x86, executables which are linked with shared Mercury
libraries now depend on $(main_module.lpic_os), not
$(main_module.os).
This doesn't work with Mmake because ml doesn't know
which libraries are Mercury libraries, so it can't
link with the static versions of those libraries if
MERCURY_LINKAGE is set to "static".
configure.in:
bindist/bindist.configure.in:
bindist/bindist.build_vars.in:
Work out whether `.lpic_o' files are needed.
compiler/modules.m:
Add `.lpic_o' to the list of grade or architecture
dependent files.
NEWS:
README.Linux:
compiler/options.m:
doc/user_guide.texi:
Document MERCURY_LINKAGE, LINKAGE, --linkage,
--mercury-linkage and -R.
compiler/options_file.m:
compiler/make.program_target.m:
Handle LINKAGE and MERCURY_LINKAGE variables.
Allow LIBGRADES, LINKAGE and MERCURY_LINKAGE to be target-specific.
scripts/mmc.in:
Set up the default linkage using the MERCURY_LINKAGE
variable.
compiler/compile_target_code.m:
Build `.lpic_o' files.
Work out which type of object files to link with.
When linking statically with Mercury libraries,
find the absolute pathname for the `.a' file
for each Mercury library, and pass that to ml,
rather than just using `-lname'.
Pass `-R' options to ml for each `-R' option to mmc.
compiler/make.module_target.m:
compiler/make.program_target.m:
compiler/mercury_compile.m:
Specify which type of object files to build.
compiler/make.program_target.m:
compiler/make.module_target.m:
Make sure all generated object files are cleaned up.
compiler/prog_io.m:
Add a better message for files which can't be found.
compiler/make.util.m:
Add `.lpic_o' to the list of extensions.
compiler/Mmakefile:
profiler/Mmakefile:
deep_profiler/Mmakefile:
Pass `--linkage shared' to mmc (`--shared' is in MLFLAGS).
tests/Mmakefile:
tests/mmc_make/Mmakefile:
tests/mmc_make/Mercury.options:
tests/mmc_make/complex_test.{m,exp}:
tests/mmc_make/hello.{m,exp}:
Test `mmc --make'.
tests/lib/complex*.m:
The complex numbers library from the extras distribution,
for use in the mmc_make tests.
This directory contains files used to create a binary distribution of Mercury. Files that will be incorporated in the binary distribution start with `bindist.'. The other files (this README, and the Mmake file) are only used to build the distribution. To build a binary distribution, first build and install the compiler from the source distribution (see the instructions in ../INSTALL). Then just do an `mmake bindist'.
