| 2 | System requirements |
| 3 | =================== |
| 4 | |
| 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. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | |
| 12 | ============= |
| 13 | Configuration |
| 14 | ============= |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Modify the parameters in settings as appropriate for your system. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | These settings may be determined for you automatically by a fancy |
| 19 | configuration program in a future release. |
| 20 | |

| 22 | ======== |
| 23 | Building |
| 24 | ======== |
| 25 | |
| 26 | All sources may be built by running the 'build' script in this |
| 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 | |
| 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. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | [There is probably a better way to do this, but I haven't figured one |
| 37 | out yet.] |
