|
To install SML/NJ under MacOS X on a machine that has the developer
|
| 5 : |
|
|
tools installed (i.e., which has a working C compiler), refer to
|
| 6 : |
|
|
our generic instructions in file INSTALL.
|
| 7 : |
|
|
|
| 8 : |
|
|
For people without developer tools on their MacOS X box we prepared
|
| 9 : |
|
|
a disk image that contains a pre-compiled runtime system. To install,
|
| 10 : |
|
|
download the image, mount it, and copy its contents (a directory named
|
| 11 : |
|
|
smlnj-xxx.xxx) to some location of your choice. (The name smlnj-xxx.xxx
|
| 12 : |
|
|
is not important -- you can change it or simply copy the contents of
|
| 13 : |
|
|
this directory into some other directory.)
|
| 14 : |
|
|
|
| 15 : |
|
|
At this point you should have some directory, e.g., /Users/joe/smlnj,
|
| 16 : |
|
|
that contains two subdirectories named "config" and "bin". Open a
|
| 17 : |
|
|
terminal (or xterm if you have X11), cd to /Users/joe/smlnj
|
| 18 : |
|
|
and follow the instructions in file INSTALL beginning *after* the
|
| 19 : |
|
|
point where it asks you to gunzip and untar config.tgz.
|
| 20 : |
|
|
|
| 21 : |
|
|
For example, if you are in a hurry and have good network connectivity,
|
| 22 : |
|
|
simply edit config/targets and then run config/new-install.sh (or
|
| 23 : |
|
|
config/install.sh).
|
| 24 : |
|
|
|
| 25 : |
|
|
Once the installer finishes, you only need to keep the "bin" and "lib"
|
| 26 : |
|
|
subdirectories. You can move them wherever you like (together!) as
|
| 27 : |
|
|
long as you set the variable SMLNJ_HOME to the name of the directory
|
| 28 : |
|
|
that holds them.
