Estimated hours taken: 1 Branches: main and 0.12 Remove the architecture string from the installed directory structure and put the executables in $PREFIX/bin, instead of $PREFIX/lib/mercury/bin/$FULLARCH. The reason for this change is to reduce the need for unix shell scripts in the top-level bin directory that call the actual programs in the lib/mercury/bin/FULLARCH directory. The unix scripts can't be run on Windows without a unix emulation environment like Cygwin. Because the executables are now in the top-level bin directory, we cannot install multiple architectures under the same directory structure. However this is not a real loss, since the binaries for different architectures can just be installed to different locations, as we currently do anyway on mundula.cs.mu.oz.au. The plan is to rename mercury_compile to mmc and do away with the mmc unix script. This will allow mmc to be run on Windows without Cygwin or MSYS. This proposal replaces a previous proposal to implement a C version of the mmc script. That solution turned out to be quite complicated and unreliable. This diff will also mean mdice, mslice and mtc_union will be in the same directory as mmc, so will be in the PATH as long as mmc is in the PATH. configure.in: bindist/Mmakefile: bindist/bindist.Makefile.in: compiler/compile_target_code.m: compiler/handle_options.m: compiler/make.program_target.m: debian/rules: library/Mmakefile: scripts/Mmake.vars.in: scripts/mdprof.in: scripts/mercury.bat.in: scripts/mgnuc.in: scripts/ml.in: scripts/mmc.in: scripts/mprof.in: tools/run_all_tests_from_cron: tools/test_mercury: Remove FULLARCH from the installed directory structure.
