BUILDING

   1 ===================
   2 System requirements
   3 ===================
   4
   5 Compiling the mlt tool requires a "working version" of SML/NJ. It's
   6 best to use version 110.49 or later. Earlier versions have
   7 incompatibilities, bugs, or both. You may have problems with any
   8 version whatsoever, though, since this stuff uses some SML/NJ compiler
   9 internals, and they may change often.

  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 autotmatically by a fancy
  19 configuration program in a future release.

  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.

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