Revision 1348 - (view) (download)
Original Path: sml/trunk/WININSTALL

1 :	mblume	1348	I have not packaged the win32 port as an InstallShield(tm)
2 :			bundle. Instead, I simply made a .zip file (smlnj.zip) that
3 :			you can unzip to a location of your choice. There are two
4 :			things to do "by hand" afterwards:
5 :
6 :			- set the environment variable SMLNJ_HOME to
7 :			the name of the directory that you unzip'd smlnj.zip
8 :			into
9 :			- add %SMLNJ_HOME%\bin to your path
10 :
11 :			[Example: Suppose you unzip'd the .zip file into
12 :
13 :			c:\sml\blume\smlnj
14 :
15 :			Then the value of SMLNJ_HOME should be that, i.e.,
16 :			the moral equivalent of
17 :
18 :			set SMLNJ_HOME=c:\sml\blume\smlnj
19 :
20 :			needs to be carried out. Moreover, you need to add the
21 :			string
22 :
23 :			;c:\sml\blume\smlnj\bin
24 :
25 :			to the end of your path variable, i.e., you need to execute
26 :
27 :			path %PATH%;c:\sml\blume\smlnj
28 :
29 :			]
30 :
31 :			(Under win9x you need to either do this locally using the
32 :			command prompt before you run sml, or you edit autoexec.bat
33 :			and reboot. In WinXP you can do it by going to
34 :
35 :			Control Panel->Performance and Maintenance->System->
36 :			Advanced->Environment Variables
37 :
38 :			From there it is obvious what needs to be done. Since I don't have
39 :			access to other versions of win32 (NT, 2000, ...), I am not sure how to do
40 :			things there. (But I am sure everything is similar to the XP case.)
41 :
42 :			Once the two variables are properly set, you should be able to
43 :			launch sml/nj by typing "sml" into a command prompt...
