See the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
|
|
But in some cases, additional steps may be needed for particular
|
|
operating systems or particular architectures, so first read the
|
|
README file for your particular platform, if there is one:
|
|
|
|
README.AIX RS/6000 systems running AIX
|
|
README.FreeBSD The FreeBSD version of BSD Unix on Intel x86
|
|
README.HPUX HPPA systems running HPUX
|
|
README.IRIX-5 SGI IRIX version 5.x
|
|
README.Linux Linux on Intel x86
|
|
README.Linux-Alpha Linux on DEC Alpha
|
|
README.Linux-PPC Linux on PowerPC
|
|
README.Linux-m68k Linux on Motorola 68000
|
|
README.MacOS Apple PowerPC Mac systems running Mac OS X
|
|
README.MS-Windows Microsoft Windows
|
|
README.OSF1 DEC Alpha systems running OSF/1 version 3.x
|
|
README.Solaris Solaris (SunOS) on SPARC or Intel x86.
|
|
|
|
The documentation sources are in the `doc' subdirectory. The installation
|
|
process will install INFO, HTML, and DVI versions in the locations specified
|
|
in the file Mmake.common - by default these locations are
|
|
/usr/local/mercury-@VERSION@/info,
|
|
/usr/local/mercury-@VERSION@/lib/mercury/html,
|
|
and /usr/local/mercury-@VERSION@/lib/mercury/doc respectively.
|
|
The installation process will also install Unix-style man pages -
|
|
by default they will be installed in /usr/local/mercury-@VERSION@/man/man1.
|
|
The files RELEASE_NOTES, NEWS, HISTORY, LIMITATIONS, and BUGS
|
|
also contain useful information. If you're interested in looking
|
|
at the source code, the file compiler/notes/compiler_design.html is
|
|
a good place to start.
|
|
|
|
The `samples' directory contains some example Mercury programs.
|
|
There are also some additional Mercury programs and libraries
|
|
in the `extras' directory.
|
|
|
|

If you would like to join the Mercury mailing lists (there are two,
|
|

announcements), send mail with "subscribe" in the body to
|
|
mercury-users-request@cs.mu.oz.au or mercury-announce-request@cs.mu.oz.au
|
|
(respectively).
