------------------------------------------------------------ Building the runtime system. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1) goto the "src" subdirectory > cd src 2) Run the configure script. This generates three files in the subdirectory "config", namely "makefile", "s.h" (system) and "m.h" (machine). > ./configure Trouble shooter: * Make sure that the shell program "sh" can be found. On cygwin you sometimes need to copy "bash.exe" to "/bin/sh.exe" to make it work * Make sure that all the scripts are executable: > chmod +x configure > cd config/tests > chmod +x config.guess config.sub runtest hasgot searchpath > cd ../.. Windows: You can skip this step if you want to build it using Microsoft Visual C. Otherwise, you need to install the "cygwin" toolkit first. You should use the option "-host i386-pc-windows" when running configure. 3) Go to the "runtime" subdirectory and run make. > cd runtime > make depend > make Windows: If you are using VC++, you can click on the runtime workspace file "runtime.dsw" and build it with Visual Studio. 4) This builds the LVM runtime, "lvmrun". You can test it on some test files in the "test" subdirectory. > cd ../../test/std > ../../src/runtime/lvmrun sieve 5) You may want to set the environment variable "LVMPATH" to point to directories that contain ".lvm" files. > export LVMPATH=/users/daan/lvm/test/std or > setenv LVMPATH /home/daan/lvm/test/std ------------------------------------------------------------ Building the core assembler. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1) Make it with GHC: > cd src/lib > make depend > make or run it from Hugs: > cd src/lib/core > hugs Main.hs For Hugs you need to set the path to all direct subdirectories of "src/lib" and the "src/lib/common/hugs" directory.
