MLton runs on a variety of platforms and is distributed in both source and binary form.  The format for the binary package depends on the platform.  The binary package will install under <tt>/usr</tt> or <tt>/usr/local</tt>, depending on the platform.  A <tt>.tgz</tt> or <tt>.tbz</tt> binary package should be extracted in the root directory. If you install MLton somewhere else, you must set the <tt>lib</tt> variable in the <tt>/usr/bin/mlton</tt> script to the directory that contains the libraries (<tt>/usr/lib/mlton</tt> by default). <p>
MLton requires that you have the <a class="external" href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gmp/gmp.html"><img src="moin-www.png" alt="[WWW]" height="11" width="11">GNU multiprecision library</a> installed on your machine.  MLton must be able to find both the <tt>gmp.h</tt> include file and the <tt>libgmp.a</tt> or <tt>libgmp.so</tt> library. If you see the error message <tt>gmp.h:&nbsp;No&nbsp;such&nbsp;file&nbsp;or&nbsp;directory</tt>, you should copy <tt>gmp.h</tt> to <tt>/usr/lib/mlton/self/include</tt>.  If you see the error message <tt>/usr/bin/ld:&nbsp;cannot&nbsp;find&nbsp;-lgmp</tt>, you should add a <tt>-link-opt&nbsp;-L</tt> argument in the <tt>/usr/bin/mlton</tt> script so that the linker can find <tt>libgmp</tt>.  If, for example, <tt>libgmp.a</tt> is in <tt>/tmp</tt>, then add <tt>-link-opt&nbsp;-L/tmp</tt>. 
</p>
<p>
Installation of MLton creates the following files and directories. 
</p>

    <ul>

    <li>
<p>
 <tt>/usr/bin/mllex</tt> 
</p>
</li>

            <ul>

</p>
</li>

            <ul>

</p>
</li>

            <ul>

   A script to call the compiler.  This script may be moved anywhere,    however, it makes use of files in <tt>/usr/lib/mlton</tt>.  
            </ul>


    <li class="gap">
<p>
 <tt>/usr/bin/mlyacc</tt> 
</p>
</li>

            <ul>

   The <a class="nonexistent" href="MLYacc">MLYacc</a> parser generator. 
            </ul>


    <li class="gap">
<p>
 <tt>/usr/lib/mlton</tt> 
</p>
</li>

            <ul>

   Directory containing libraries and include files needed during    compilation. 
            </ul>


    <li class="gap">
<p>
 <tt>/usr/share/man/man1/mllex.1</tt>, <tt>mlnlffigen.1</tt>, <tt>mlprof.1</tt>, <tt>mlton.1</tt>, <tt>mlyacc.1</tt>

</p>
</li>

            <ul>

   Directory containing the user guide for MLton, mllex, and mlyacc,    as well as example SML programs (in the <tt>examples</tt> dir), and    license information. 
            </ul>



    </ul>


<h2 id="head-0a0a9f2a6772942557ab5355d76af442f8f65e01">Hello, World!</h2>
<p>
Once you have installed MLton, create a file called <tt>hello-world.sml</tt> with the following contents. 
</p>

<pre>print "Hello, world!\n";
</pre>Now create an executable, <tt>hello-world</tt>, with the following command. 
<pre>mlton hello-world.sml
</pre>You can now run <tt>hello-world</tt> to verify that it works.  There are more small examples in <tt>/usr/share/doc/mlton/examples</tt>. <h2 id="head-5a23e19b85078e1861c93e3cc0336d20456af4e0">Installation on Cygwin</h2>
<p>
When installing the Cygwin <tt>tgz</tt>, you should use Cygwin's <tt>bash</tt> and <tt>tar</tt>.  The use of an archiving tool that is not aware of Cygwin's mounts will put the files in the wrong place.
