# INSTALL - installation instructions and installation script.
|
|
#
|
|
# You need GNU C (2.6.3 or later) and GNU Make (3.69 or later).
|
|
# Make sure that they are somewhere in your path.
|
|
#
|
|
# Step 0. Extract the files from the gzipped tar archive.
|
|
#
|
|
# Step 1. Run `configure'. (Just type `sh configure'.)
|
|
#
|
|
# By default, the files will be installed in the directory
|
|
# /usr/local/mercury-0.6alpha.
|
|
# If you want the files to be installed someplace else,
|
|
# use the `--prefix <directory>' option to `configure'.
|
|
#
|
|
# The output from this stage will be automatically saved in the
|
|
# file `configure.log'. Some debugging output is also saved to
|
|
# the file `config.log'.
|
|
#
|
|
# Step 2. Run `make'.
|
|
# This step will take a long time.
|
|
#
|
|
# The output from this stage will be automatically saved in the
|
|
# file `make.log'.
|
|
#
|
|
# Step 3. Run `make install'.
|
|
# This step will also take a long time.
|
|
#
|
|
# The output from this stage will be automatically saved in the
|
|
# file `make_install.log'.
|
|
#
|
|
# Step 4. Check the permissions on the installed files.
|
|
# Add /usr/local/mercury-0.6alpha/bin to your PATH, and
|
|
# add /usr/local/mercury-0.6alpha/info to your INFOPATH.
|
|
# You can also add a WWW link to the Mercury documentation in
|
|
# /usr/local/mercury-0.6alpha/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-0.6alpha/lib/mercury/doc.
|
|
#
|
|
# Step 5. Run `make clean'.
|
|
#
|
|
# As a short-cut, steps 1-3 are listed below, so they can be replaced
|
|
# by just executing this file. I suggest you run it in the background,
|
|
# and read the Mercury documentation in the `doc' directory while you are
|
|
# waiting.

# Fine-tuning:
|
|
# ------------
|
|
#
|
|
# If your system has multiple CPUs and lots of RAM,
|
|
# you can uncomment the definition of PARALLEL in the Makefile
|
|
# to perform a parallel make.
|
|
#
|
|
# By default the `make install' step will install a reasonable
|
|
# set of library grades which should be appropriate for most uses.
|
|
# If you want to install all the possible library grades,
|
|
# rather than just the most useful few, use the `--enable-all-grades'
|
|
# option to configure. Conversely, if you are very short
|
|
# of disk space, you can add the line "LIBGRADES="
|
|
# to the file Mmake.params before installing. This tells it
|
|
# to install only a single grade of the libraries.
|
|
#
|
|
# If you are short on RAM, you can add -DSMALL_CONFIG to the CFLAGS
|
|
# line in the file boehm_gc/Makefile. (This tells the garbage
|
|
# collector to tune itself for small physical memory.)
|
|
#
|
|
# If your system supports shared libraries, but `configure' says
|
|
# Mercury does not support shared libraries on this system,
|
|
# contact us and we'll see if we can add support for shared libraries
|
|
# on that system.
|
|
#
|
|
# If Mercury does not support shared libraries on your system,
|
|
# you may want to use the command `mmake install_split_library' to
|
|
# build and install a version of the Mercury libraries using the
|
|
# `--split-c-files' option to avoid linking in unused procedures.
|
|
# This can reduce the size of a hello world executable from ~400k
|
|
# to ~120k. (The only reason this is not the default is that
|
|
# installing the split libraries takes quite a long time. As a
|
|
# compromise, the command `mmake install_opt_library LIBGRADES='
|
|
# will install a split version of the library just for the
|
|
# default grade.)
|
|
#
|
|
# Efficiency will be much improved if Mercury can use gcc global
|
|
# register variables. Currently these are supported for mips, hppa,
|
|
# sparc, alpha, and i386 (see runtime/regs.h and runtime/machdeps/*).
|
|
# If you want to use Mercury on some other CPU, contact us and
|
|
# we'll add support for gcc global registers for that CPU.
|
|
#
|
|
# 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-0.6alpha' to uninstall.
|
|
# If you installed in a location such as `/usr/local' that also
|
|
# contains other files which you do not want removed, then
|
|
# run the command `make uninstall' in this directory.
