5 | Compiling the mlt tool requires a "working version" of SML/NJ on a |
| 6 | POSIX system. It's best to use version 110.49 or later. Earlier | |
| 7 | versions have incompatibilities, bugs, or both. You may have problems | |
| 8 | with any version whatsoever, though, since this stuff uses some SML/NJ | |
| 9 | compiler internals, and they may change often. | |

18 | These settings may be determined for you autotmatically by a fancy |
| 19 | configuration program in a future release. | |

| 23 | Building | |
| 24 | ======== | |
| 25 | ||
| eb3c2c89 | 26 | All sources may be built by running the 'build' script in this |
| c0a3b488 AC |
27 | directory. It does a clean re-build of all source files and stabilizes |
| 28 | all libraries produced. The build script is not appropriate for use | |
| 29 | during development. Use the standard SML/NJ CM mechanisms if you are | |
| 30 | changing the code and don't want to recompile everything each time. | |
| 31 | ||
| eb3c2c89 AC |
32 | The 'install' script installs the 'mlt' program to the BINDIR |
| 33 | specified in settings. You can also copy the generated mlt.conf file to | |
| 34 | /etc or wherever else you specified for the DEFAULT setting. | |

36 | [There is probably a better way to do this, but I haven't figured one |
| 37 | out yet.] |
