The C compiler -should be in your ``$PATH`` (most likely the case). Note that some few Linux -distributions do not ship with a GCC compiler preinstalled - then you have to -install it. - -Install Nimrod by downloading the appropriate ``.zip`` file and extracting it -to a directory of your choice. The Nimrod Compiler will stay in this -directory (unless you copy it somewhere else). The compiler does not need -write access to its directory, so copying the nimrod folder to ``/opt`` -does work. - -Then run the following command:: - - sh build.sh - -Unlike other software, Nimrod does not distribute its files over the whole file -hierarchy. This has the advantage that you can deinstall it by just deleting -its folder. The disadvantage is that you have to add it to your ``PATH`` -manually. An alternative is to create a symbolic link in ``/usr/bin``:: - - [sudo] ln -s $your_install_dir/bin/nimrod /usr/bin/nimrod - -From version 0.7.10 onwards ``install.sh`` and ``deinstall.sh`` scripts are -provided for distributing the files over the UNIX hierarchy. However, -updating your Nimrod installation is more cumbersome then. - - -Installation on the Macintosh ------------------------------ - -Only MacOS X is supported. -Since MacOS X is UNIX based too, it works like the installation on Linux. You -need to install Apple's developer's tools for the GNU Compiler Collection -though. - - -Installation on Windows ------------------------ - -Install Nimrod by downloading and running -the ``nimrod_$version.exe`` file. As default, the ``GCC`` -compiler is used that is bundled with this installer. **You can change -the configuration file** ``config/nimrod.cfg`` **to use another C compiler -or change the path to GCC.** - -Currently, the following C compilers are supported under Windows: - -- | Microsoft's Visual C++ - | http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc - | (You need the SDK too - but not the full one: Only - the win32api header files and import libraries are essential.) -- | Gnu C Compiler (the mingw version; the cygwin version has not been tested!) - | http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml -- | LLVM with GNU C/C++ frontend - | http://llvm.org/releases/download.html#2.2 -- | Digital Mars C++ - | http://www.digitalmars.com/download/freecompiler.html - -However, most testing is done with GCC. |
