@section Download the source tarball
GNU @sc{mdk} is distributed as a source tarball available for download in
the following @acronym{URL}s:
@itemize @bullet
@item
@url{ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/mdk} (or one of
@uref{http://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html, its mirrors})
@item
@uref{http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=13897}
@end itemize
The above sites contain the latest stable releases of @sc{mdk}. The
development branch is available at:
@itemize @bullet
@item
@uref{https://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group_id=118}
@end itemize
After you have downloaded the source tarball, unpack it in a directory
of your choice using the command:
@example
tar xfvz mdk-X.Y.tar.gz
@end example
@noindent
where @var{X.Y} stands for the downloaded version (the current stable
release being version @value{VERSION}).
@node Requirements, Basic installation, Download, Installing MDK
@comment node-name, next, previous, up
@section Requirements
In order to build and install @sc{mdk}, you will need the following
libraries installed in your system:
@itemize @minus
@item
@uref{http://www.gtk.org, GLIB 1.2.0} (required)
@item
@uref{http://www.gnu.org/software/flex/flex.html, GNU Flex 2.3} (required)
@item
@uref{http://www.gtk.org, GTK+ 1.2.0} (optional)
@item
@uref{ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/sources/libglade/, libglade}
(optional)
@item
GNU readline and history libraries (optional)
@end itemize
If present, readline and history are used to provide command completion
and history management to the command line MIX virtual machine, @code{mixvm}
GTK+ and libglade are needed if you want to build the graphical
interface to the MIX virtual machine, @code{gmixvm}.
@strong{Please note}: you need both the libraries @emph{and} the
headers; this means both the library package and the @file{-dev} package
if you do not compile your libraries yourself (ex: installing
@file{libgtk1.2} and @file{libgtk1.2-dev} on Debian).
@node Basic installation, Emacs support, Requirements, Installing MDK
@comment node-name, next, previous, up
@section Basic installation
@sc{mdk} uses GNU Autoconf and Automake tools, and, therefore, should
be built and installed without hassle using the following commands
inside the source directory:
@example
./configure
make
make install
@end example
@noindent
where the last one must be run as root.
The first command, @code{configure}, will setup the makefiles for your
system. In particular, @code{configure} will look for GTK+ and libglade,
and, if they are present, will generate the appropiate makefiles for
building the @code{gmixvm} graphical user interface. Upon completion,
you should see a message with the configuration results like the
following:
@example
*** GNU MDK 0.3 has been successfully configured. ***
Type make to build the following utilities:
- mixasm (MIX assembler)
- mixvm (MIX virtual machine, with readline support)
- gmixvm (mixvm GTK+ GUI)
@end example
@noindent
where the last line may be missing if you lack the above mentioned
libraries.
The next command, @code{make}, will actually build the @sc{mdk} programs
in the following locations:
@itemize @minus
@item
@file{mixutils/mixasm}
@item
@file{mixutils/mixvm}
@item
@file{mixgtk/gmixvm}
@end itemize
You can run these programs from within their directories, but I
recommend you to install them in proper locations using @code{make
install} from a root shell.
@node Emacs support, Special configure flags, Basic installation, Installing MDK
@comment node-name, next, previous, up
@section Emacs support
@code{mixvm} can be run within an Emacs GUD buffer using the elisp
program @file{misc/mixvm.el}, kindly contributed by @value{PHILIP}.
@file{mixvm.el} provides an interface between @sc{mdk}'s @code{mixvm}
and Emacs, via @acronym{GUD}. Place this file in your load-path,
optionally adding the following line to your @file{.emacs} file:
@lisp
(autoload 'mixvm "mixvm" "mixvm/gud interaction" t)
@end lisp
@node Special configure flags, Supported platforms, Emacs support, Installing MDK
@comment node-name, next, previous, up
@section Special configure flags
You can fine tunning the configuration process using the following
switches with configure:
@defopt --enable-gui[=yes|no]
@defoptx --disable-gui
Enables/disables the built of the MIX virtual machine GUI
(@code{gmixvm}). If the required libraries are missing
(@pxref{Requirements}) the configure script with automatically disable
this feature.
@end defopt
@defopt --with-readline[=yes|no]
@defoptx --without-readline
Enables/disables the GNU Readline support for @code{mixvm}. If the
required libraries are missing (@pxref{Requirements}) the configure
script with automatically disable this feature.
@end defopt
For additional, boilerplate configure options, see the @file{INSTALL}
file, or run
@example
configure --help
@end example
@node Supported platforms, , Special configure flags, Installing MDK

@section Supported platforms
GNU MDK has been tested in the following platforms:
@itemize
@item
Debian GNU/Linux 2.2/2.3
@item
Redhat GNU/Linux 7.0 (Agustin Navarro), 6.2 (Roberto Ferrero)
@item
FreeBSD 4.2 (Ying-Chieh Liao)
@item
Solaris 2.8/gcc 2.95.3 (Stephen Ramsay)
@item
MS Windows 98 SE/Cygwin 1.1.8-2 (Christoph von
Nathusius)@footnote{Caveats: Christoph has only tested @code{mixvm} and
@code{mixasm} on this platform, using @code{gcc} 2.95.3-2, @code{GLIB}
1.2.10 and @code{GNUreadline} 4.1-2. He has reported missing history
functionalities on a first try. If you find problems with
history/readline functionality, please try a newer/manually installed
readline version.}
@end itemize
MDK will probably work on any GNU/Linux and BSD platform. If you try it
in a platform not listed above, please send a mail to
@email{jao@@gnu.org, the author}.
