installation directives in this documentation.


This release is known to work on the following systems:

     <system>        Requirements       Hardware           Operating
                disk (Mb)   time (min)                       sytem

     HP300                              HP 9000/300        HP-UX 7.0

We have been told that the SPARC version runs on SUN-3's as well (provided
it is compiled on a SUN-3, of course).

If you want to install for only one system:

  1 goto to the dist-1.5 directory:
	$ cd dist-1.5

  2 lookup the name of the system you want to build in the table above

  3 using util/config.dist-<system> as a model, create util/config to describe
    your environment

  4 configure for your system:
	$ make <system>

  5 you may want to edit the m3(1) man page (in system/driver/m3/m3.man-1)
    to tell users where they can find the SRC Modula-3 release notes.
    Also, you may want to change chapter 7 of that document (doc/local.tex)
    to describe your installation.

  6 compile the system:
	$ make
    The table above, in the 'Requirements, time' column, shows the cpu time
    (in minutes) needed to compile the sytem

  7 install the system:
	$ make install

  8 conserve space:
	$ make clean

You can also install for more than one architecture, from the same
file system. For each architecture you want to support, go in the
directory that contains dist-1.5:

  1 create the directory for the objects:
	$ (cd dist-1.5; make <system>.obj)
    if the symbol CC as defined by make is not right for your system, 
    edit dist-1.5/makefile first.

  2 goto to the newly created directory
	$ cd <system>.obj

  3 install the system following step 3 to 8 of the previous paragraph


If you want to run the test programs:

  1 go to the dist-1.5 directory or to <system>.obj if you installed for
    more than one architecture

  2 run the tests:
	$ make tests


If you want to build the demo programs:

  1 go to the dist-1.5 directory or to <system>.obj if you installed for
    more than one architecture

  2 build the programs:
	$ make demos

Enjoy.

Subject: Modula-3 port to the Apollo
Date: Thu, 29 Mar 90 15:16:13 PST
From: ogicse!mntgfx!lisch (Ray Lischner)

Here are the files and diffs for the almost-complete port to the
Apollo 3000 and 4000 series workstations.  The problem is that
Apollo's Domain/OS does not support ITIMER_PROF, so it is difficult
to implement thread scheduling.  I think I managed to cover
everything else.

After unpacking the shell archive, the file "diffs" contains
context diffs for standard files.  I sent to m3@src.dec.com
the change to ArrayExpr.m3; it is repeated here.  Also in
the archive are the AP3000 files, including one assembly language
file, to mung the stack for longjmp().  Most Apollo sites do
not have an assembler, so I also included the object file, uuencoded.
[See the comment in util/config.dist]

I hope I included everything.  I don't really have the time to
spend on this, but I am willing to fix any problems other Apollo
users might have.  I hope that someone manages to implement Threads,
possibly by using the task system calls of Domain/OS.
