Installation instructions for SML/NJ
|
| 2 : |
|
|
------------------------------------
|
| 3 : |
|
|
|
| 4 : |
|
|
These are instructions for installing recent "working" versions of SML/NJ.
|
| 5 : |
|
|
|
| 6 : |
|
|
1. If you are in a hurry (and you have network connectivity) ...
|
| 7 : |
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
| 8 : |
|
|
|
| 9 : |
|
|
- Pick a place to do the installation, e.g.
|
| 10 : |
|
|
|
| 11 : |
|
|
$ d=/usr/share/smlnj # or whatever you like
|
| 12 : |
|
|
$ mkdir $d
|
| 13 : |
|
|
$ cd $d
|
| 14 : |
|
|
|
| 15 : |
|
|
- Download config.tgz, e.g.
|
| 16 : |
|
|
|
| 17 : |
|
|
$ v=110.38 # or whatever is the version you desire
|
| 18 : |
|
|
$ wget http://ftp.research.bell-labs.com/dist/smlnj/working/$v/config.tgz
|
| 19 : |
|
|
|
| 20 : |
|
|
- Gunzip and untar, e.g.
|
| 21 : |
|
|
|
| 22 : |
|
|
$ gunzip <config.tgz | tar xf -
|
| 23 : |
|
|
|
| 24 : |
|
|
This creates a subdirectory "config"
|
| 25 : |
|
|
|
| 26 : |
|
|
- Edit the "config/targets" file to your taste. If you leave this
|
| 27 : |
|
|
file alone, you end up with a minimal installation.
|
| 28 : |
|
|
|
| 29 : |
|
|
- Run the installer, it will automatically fetch all other necessary
|
| 30 : |
|
|
tarballs:
|
| 31 : |
|
|
|
| 32 : |
|
|
$ config/install.sh
|
| 33 : |
|
|
|
| 34 : |
|
|
If the installer complains about not being able to fetch those
|
| 35 : |
|
|
tarballs, try step 2.1.
|
| 36 : |
|
|
|
| 37 : |
|
|
2. If you have a bit more time...
|
| 38 : |
|
|
---------------------------------
|
| 39 : |
|
|
|
| 40 : |
|
|
2.1. If you do not have network connectivity...
|
| 41 : |
|
|
-------------------------------------------------
|
| 42 : |
|
|
|
| 43 : |
|
|
- Use some other means of downloading the necessary tarballs. Store
|
| 44 : |
|
|
them in directory $d. Then run the installer (config/install.sh).
|
| 45 : |
|
|
|
| 46 : |

Here is a table that shows which packages you will need to download
|
| 47 : |
blume |
1047 |
depending on what you select in config/targets. Take the union of
|
| 48 : |
|
|
all the packages corresponding to your selection. Don't forget to
|
| 49 : |
|
|
include the "(always)" entry. (<arch> and <os> should match your
|
| 50 : |
|
|
host system.)
|
| 51 : |
|
|
|
| 52 : |
blume |
1059 |
Keep in mind that making selections in config/targets there are
|
| 53 : |
|
|
dependencies between packages. For example, eXene requires cml
|
| 54 : |
|
|
and cml-lib. The installer script "knows" about these dependencies
|
| 55 : |
|
|
and will automatically calculate the transitive closure of the
|
| 56 : |
|
|
"requires" relation for you. Still, if you do not have network
|
| 57 : |
|
|
connectivity, then you should have downloaded tarballs for the
|
| 58 : |
|
|
entire transitive closure. (If you didn't, the installer will
|
| 59 : |
|
|
kindly remind you.)

2.2. Tweaking "preloads"...
|
| 108 : |
|
|
----------------------------
|
| 109 : |
|
|
|
| 110 : |
|
|
- Before running the installer (but after unpacking the config
|
| 111 : |
|
|
directory), you can customize the set of libraries that are
|
| 112 : |
|
|
pre-loaded (either directly or via CM's "autoload" mechanism).
|
| 113 : |
|
|
|
| 114 : |
|
|
For this, edit config/preloads before running config/install.sh.
|
| 115 : |
|
|
|
| 116 : |
|
|
2.3. Using a different ftp server (for a step-1.-like installation)
|
| 117 : |
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| 118 : |
|
|
|
| 119 : |
|
|
- If you have a local mirror for ftp.research.bell-labs.com/dist/smlnj,
|
| 120 : |
|
|
then you can speed up installation by pointing the automatic URL
|
| 121 : |
|
|
fetch mechanism there. The URL of the repository is stored in
|
| 122 : |
|
|
config/srcarchiveurl. Edit this file before running config/install.sh.
|
| 123 : |
|
|
|
| 124 : |
|
|
2.4. Using locally stored tarballs
|
| 125 : |
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
| 126 : |
|
|
|
| 127 : |
|
|
- This is like step 2.3. -- except the URL in config/srcarchiveurl
|
| 128 : |
|
|
should read something like
|
| 129 : |
|
|
|
| 130 : |
|
|
file:///usr/src/packages/smlnj/working/110.38
|
| 131 : |
|
|
|
| 132 : |
|
|
(In other words, the URL should spell out the name of the local
|
| 133 : |
|
|
directory that happens to contain the tarballs.)
|
| 134 : |
|
|
|
| 135 : |
|
|
2.5. What needs to be on my PATH?
|
| 136 : |
|
|
----------------------------------
|
| 137 : |
|
|
|
| 138 : |
|
|
- You should include $d/bin into your PATH.
|
| 139 : |
|
|
|
| 140 : |
|
|
2.6. Which of all those files do I really need?
|
| 141 : |
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
| 142 : |
|
|
|
| 143 : |
|
|
After the installer completes, directory $d will be full of files
|
| 144 : |
|
|
and subdirectories. Not all of them are actually required if you want
|
| 145 : |
|
|
to use the system.
|
| 146 : |
|
|
|
| 147 : |
|
|
In particular, if you are not interested in any of the source code,
|
| 148 : |
|
|
you can DELETE EVERYTHING EXCEPT:
|
| 149 : |
|
|
|
| 150 : |
|
|
$d/bin
|
| 151 : |
|
|
$d/lib
|
| 152 : |
|
|
|
| 153 : |
|
|
2.7. Can I move files to another directory after the fact?
|
| 154 : |
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
| 155 : |
|
|
|
| 156 : |
|
|
Yes. But this requires two small tweaks (points 2. and 3. below).
|
| 157 : |
|
|
|
| 158 : |
|
|
Here is the procedure:
|
| 159 : |
|
|
|
| 160 : |
|
|
Suppose you have installed everything under $d and now you want to
|
| 161 : |
|
|
move things to some other directory $e (e.g., e=/usr/share/smlnj):
|
| 162 : |
|
|
|
| 163 : |
|
|
1. Move (at least) $d/bin and $d/lib to $e:
|
| 164 : |
|
|
|
| 165 : |
|
|
$ mv $d/{bin,lib} $e
|
| 166 : |
|
|
|
| 167 : |
|
|
2. Edit $e/bin/.run-sml and change the value of
|
| 168 : |
|
|
the variable BIN_DIR to (the value of) $e/bin.
|
| 169 : |
|
|
(If e=/usr/share/smlnj, then the value would have to be
|
| 170 : |
|
|
/usr/share/smlnj/bin.)
|
| 171 : |
|
|
|
| 172 : |
|
|
3. Before running the "sml" command, set the environment variable
|
| 173 : |
|
|
CM_PATHCONFIG to $e/lib. You could do this globally, either
|
| 174 : |
|
|
in a system-wide .profile or even by adding a line, e.g.,
|
| 175 : |
|
|
|
| 176 : |
|
|
export CM_PATHCONFIG=/usr/share/smlnj/lib
|
| 177 : |
|
|
|
| 178 : |
|
|
to $e/bin/.run-sml.
|
| 179 : |
|
|
|
| 180 : |
|
|
Alternatively, each user who wants to run "sml" could set the
|
| 181 : |
|
|
variable by him/herself.
|
| 182 : |
|
|
|
| 183 : |
|
|
2.8 Forcing the installer to use a particular URL getter program
|
| 184 : |
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------
|
| 185 : |
|
|
|
| 186 : |
|
|
By default, config/install.sh will attempt to use wget, curl, and lynx
|
| 187 : |
|
|
(in that order). If you already know which of these programs you want
|
| 188 : |
|
|
the installer to use, then set the environment variable URLGETTER
|
| 189 : |
|
|
to "wget", "curl", or "lynx", respectively.
|
| 190 : |
|
|
|
| 191 : |
|
|
You can also set URLGETTER to any other command "foo" as long as
|
| 192 : |
|
|
it can be invoked as
|
| 193 : |
|
|
|
| 194 : |
|
|
$ foo <source> <destination>
|
| 195 : |
|
|
|
| 196 : |
|
|
where <source> is the URL you want to fetch and <destination> is
|
| 197 : |
|
|
the file name where the result will be stored.
|
| 198 : |
|
|
|
| 199 : |
|
|
3. Troubleshooting:
|
| 200 : |
|
|
-------------------
|
| 201 : |
|
|
|
| 202 : |
|
|
3.1. You think you have network connectivity, but the installer fails
|
| 203 : |
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| 204 : |
|
|
|
| 205 : |
|
|
- You probably do not have any of the following commands available
|
| 206 : |
|
|
on your system: wget, lynx, curl.
|
| 207 : |
|
|
|
| 208 : |
|
|
Failsafe remedy: Proceed according to step 2.1., using whatever
|
| 209 : |
|
|
other FTP client you have.
|
| 210 : |
|
|
|
| 211 : |
|
|
Alternative remedy: If you have some other command-line tool to
|
| 212 : |
|
|
fetch URLs, make a wrapper for it (if necessary) so that it can
|
| 213 : |
|
|
be invoked with precisely two arguments: <srcurl> and <dst>.
|
| 214 : |
|
|
Then set the environment variable URLGETTER to the name of this
|
| 215 : |
|
|
(wrapped) tool and try running the installer.
|
| 216 : |
|
|
|
| 217 : |
|
|
Example: Suppose you don't have wget but a wget-lookalike named
|
| 218 : |
|
|
"xget". You could then make a shell script that wraps xget, e.g.
|
| 219 : |
|
|
using a shell script "myxget" consisting of the single line:
|
| 220 : |
|
|
|
| 221 : |
|
|
exec xget -nv -O $2 $1
|
| 222 : |
|
|
|
| 223 : |
|
|
Once you have myxget, simply run:
|
| 224 : |
|
|
|
| 225 : |
|
|
URLGETTER=myxget config/install.sh
