Mercury on Linux

This file documents the Linux/x86 and Linux/x86_64 ports.

For the Linux/AArch64 (ARM64) port, see README.Linux-aarch64.md.

For the Linux/PowerPC port, see README.Linux-PPC.md.

For the Linux/Motorola 68000 port, see README.Linux-m68k.md.

(Ports to Linux on other architectures have not yet been attempted, but should not be difficult.)

If you are installing on x86, then also see README.x86.md.

Building a 32-bit Mercury Compiler on 64-bit Linux

To build a 32-bit Mercury compiler on 64-bit Linux, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure that the 32-bit (e.g. i686 etc) packages for the C compiler and libraries are available on the build system.

  2. Ensure that you have a working Mercury compiler in your PATH to bootstrap from.

  3. Run ./prepare.sh and then invoke configure as follows:

    ./configure --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --with-cc="gcc -m32"

  4. Do mmake; mmake install as normal.
