Mathemagix

[Joris van der Hoeven <address@concealed>]

Hi all,

Just some short documentation on how to build the compilers.
From the main mathemagix directory, build by enabling the mathemagix package:

        cd [...]/mmx
        ./configure [...] --enable-mathemagix
        make

Enable the development paths and run mmc-build or devel-mmc-build in order
to build the stable resp. unstable compiler. E.g.:

        source set-devel-paths
        devel-mmc-build

After building, you may try some examples:

        devel-mmc mmxlight/mmx/test/hello_test.mmx
        hello_test

        devel-mmc mathemagix/mmx/test/numeric_test.mmx
        numeric_test

The unstable compiler now supports the existing glue, with the exception
of Bernard's packages and anything which depends on numerix/ball.mmx.
There are still plenty of bugs and it is recommended to type everything
very explicitly for the moment.

Enjoy, --Joris
