Installation details

Dependencies
------------
Java, Nasm, Gcc, M4 macro processor if you are doing source development work.

You can install either from source or from the download file install.jar
If installing from source, you should run the command
make install.jar
to create the installation jar file

From the file install.jar
Create a directory mmpc containing the contents of this archive.
The archive can be unpacked using the command 
jar -xf install.jar
For this you will need a Sun compliant java system installed.


Next, place the directory mmpc on your path.

Then you will need to define the symbol mmpcdir to point
at the directory mmpc.



Then go into the directory mmpc and type 

make rtl

Then type

make rtl.o

This should then build a copy of the runtime library (rtl.o)
that is compatible with your host gcc compiler.
=================================================================
If you want to use the garbage collector go into the directory
for the garbage collector mmpc/rtl/gc and follow the instructions
to build the Boehm garbage collection library gc.a

then go into mmpc and type

make rtlb.o
