Windows NT +on non-Intel processors has not been tested. + +The base bytecode system (cslc, csltop, csllex, cslyacc, ...) runs without +any additional tools. + +Linking Caml bytecode with C code (cslc -custom) requires the +Microsoft Visual C++ compiler version 4.0. + +The native-code compiler (cslopt) requires Visual C++ version 4.0 +and the Microsoft assembler MASM version 5. + +The cslmktop and cslcp commands are Bourne shell scripts. +They can be run with the Korn shell available at +ftp://ftp.winsite.com/pub/pc/winnt/misc/ntsh01.zip. + + +INSTALLATION: + +The binary distribution consists of a .zip archive file. This .zip +contains long filenames and cannot therefore be unpacked with pkunzip +version 2. Use either Winzip (shareware) or the NT/95 version of unzip +(freeware): + ftp://ftp.winsite.com/pub/pc/winnt/misc/wznt56.exe + ftp://ftp.uu.net/pub/archiving/zip/WIN32/unz512xN.exe + +Unzipping the distribution creates (among others) the following +directories and files: + + camlsl\cslwin.exe The toplevel application + camlsl\cslwin.ini Its configuration file + camlsl\bin\ The command-line compilers and tools + camlsl\lib\ The standard library files + +Installing the toplevel application: + + Copy the file camlsl\cslwin.ini to the Windows system directory + (e.g. C:\windows). This file assumes that the standard library resides + in C:\camlsl\lib. If this is not the case, edit the file cslwin.ini + and change the line that says + + CmdLine=cslrun C:\camlsl\lib\csltop -I C:\camlsl\lib + to + CmdLine=cslrun <caml_dir>\lib\csltop -I <caml_dir>\lib + e.g. + CmdLine=cslrun D:\lang\camlsl\lib\csltop -I D:\lang\camlsl\lib + +Installing the command-line tools: + + You must add the camlsl\bin subdirectory to the PATH variable, e.g. + + set PATH=%PATH%;D:\lang\camlsl\bin + + Running directly the tools (e.g. typing D:\lang\camlsl\bin\cslc) + will not work if the camlsl\bin directory is not in PATH, because cslc + and the other tools will be unable to find the Caml runtime system + cslrun.exe. + + The command-line tools assume that the standard library resides in + C:\camlsl\lib. If you have unpacked it elsehwere, define the CAMLLIB + environment variable to point to the standard library directory, e.g. + + set CAMLLIB=D:\lang\camlsl\lib + + +RECOMPILATION FROM THE SOURCES: + +The command-line tools can be recompiled from the Unix source +distribution (csl-X.YZ.tar.gz), which also contains the files modified +for Windows. + +In addition to Visual C++ 4.0 and MASM 5, you will also need a healthy +set of Unix / GNU utilities that understands long file names +(see e.g. ftp://ftp.cc.utexas.edu/microlib/nt/gnu/). + +The bootstrap compilers provided in the Unix distribution (boot/cslc +and boot/csllex) must be replaced by those from the binary Windows +distribution (camlsl\bin\cslc.exe and camlsl\bin\csllex.exe). + +The sources for the toplevel graphical user interface are not +publically available. + + +RANDOM NOTES: + +* The VC++ compiler does a poor job on byterun/interp.c. Consequently, +the performance of bytecode programs is about half of that obtained +under Unix/GCC on similar hardware. GCC would give much better +performance, but none of the currently available ports of GCC for +Win32 is sufficiently complete, robust and stable to compile Caml +Special Light. + +* The "num" and "str" libraries are available under Win32. The other +external libraries ("unix", "threads", "camltk4") make heavy use of +Unix system calls and require considerable work to run under Win32. + + +CREDITS: + +The initial port of Caml Special Light to Windows NT was done by Kevin +Gallo at Microsoft Research, who kindly contributed its changes to the +Caml Special Light project. + +The graphical user interface for the toplevel is due to Jean-Marie +Geffroy at INRIA Rocquencourt. |
