Estimated hours taken: 15 Add a testing architecture for the samples directory. The tests are in the "tests" subdirectory of the samples directory. This keeps them close to the samples, but not close enough to clutter up the samples. It also means you don't have to worry about the issue of exactly where the developer has checked out the CVS tests module. samples/c_interface/simpler_c_calls_mercury/Mmakefile: Update this example to generate a .a file instead of directly using $(mercury_lib.os) samples/tests/*: Test cases for all the samples.
Reportedly Mercury does not work on Solaris 2.5.1 if it is compiled with
gcc 2.7.x. It should however work fine on Solaris 2.5.1 if you compile
it with gcc 2.8, or if you use gcc 2.7.x with an earlier version of Solaris.
The binary distribution for Solaris that we distribute was compiled
with gcc 2.7.2, so if you have Solaris 2.5.1, you may need to compile
Mercury yourself from our source distribution.
("Solaris 2.x" is also known as "SunOS 5.x".)
