dca24e57 | 5 | Compiling the mlt tool requires a "working version" of SML/NJ. It's |
da786361 AC |
6 | best to use version 110.49 or later. Earlier versions have |
7 | incompatibilities, bugs, or both. You may have problems with any | |
dca24e57 AC |
8 | version whatsoever, though, since this stuff uses some SML/NJ compiler |
9 | 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.] |
