Therefore, to avoid a duplication of binaries and library, - it is not necessary to do the installation step (6- above). You just have - to tell it at configuration step (4- above) with the option -local : - - ./configure -local <other options> - - Then compile the sources as described in step 5 above. The resulting - binaries will reside in the subdirectory bin/. - - Unless you pass the -nodebug option to ./configure, the -g option of the - OCaml compiler will be used during compilation to allow debugging. - See the debugging file in dev/doc and the chapter 15 of the Coq Reference - Manual for details about how to use the OCaml debugger with Coq. - - -THE AVAILABLE COMMANDS. -======================= - - There are two Coq commands: - - coqtop The Coq toplevel - coqc The Coq compiler - - Under architecture where ocamlopt is available, coqtop is the native code - version of Coq. On such architecture, you could additionally request - the build of the bytecode version of Coq via 'make byte' and install it via - 'make install-byte'. This will create an extra binary named coqtop.byte, - that could be used for debugging purpose. If native code isn't available, - coqtop.byte is directly built by 'make', and coqtop is a link to coqtop.byte. - coqc also invokes the fastest version of Coq. Options -opt and -byte to coqtop - and coqc selects a particular binary. - - * `coqtop' launches Coq in the interactive mode. By default it loads - basic logical definitions and tactics from the Init directory. - - * `coqc' allows compilation of Coq files directly from the command line. - To compile a file foo.v, do: - - coqc foo.v - - It will produce a file foo.vo, that you can now load through the Coq - command "Require". - - A detailed description of these commands and of their options is given - in the Reference Manual (which you can get in the doc/ - directory, or read online on http://coq.inria.fr/doc/) - and in the corresponding manual pages. - - -COMPILING FOR DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURES. -====================================== - - This section explains how to compile Coq for several architecture, sharing - the same sources. The important fact is that some files are architecture - dependent (.cmx, .o and executable files for instance) but others are not - (.cmo and .vo). Consequently, you can : - - o save some time during compilation by not cleaning the architecture - independent files; - - o save some space during installation by sharing the Coq standard - library (which is fully architecture independent). - - So, in order to compile Coq for a new architecture, proceed as follows: - - * Omit step 7 above and clean only the architecture dependent files: - it is done automatically with the command - - make archclean - - * Configure the system for the new architecture: - - ./configure <options> - - You can specify the same directory for the standard library but you - MUST specify a different directory for the binaries (of course). - - * Compile and install the system as described in steps 5 and 6 above. - - -MOVING BINARIES OR LIBRARY. -=========================== - - If you move both the binaries and the library in a consistent way, - Coq should be able to still run. Otherwise, Coq may be "lost", - running "coqtop" would then return an error message of the kind: - - Error during initialization : - Error: cannot guess a path for Coq libraries; please use -coqlib option - - You can then indicate the new places to Coq, using the options -coqlib : - - coqtop -coqlib <new directory> - - See also next section. - - -DYNAMICALLY LOADED LIBRARIES FOR BYTECODE EXECUTABLES. -====================================================== - - Some bytecode executables of Coq use the OCaml runtime, which dynamically - loads a shared library (.so or .dll). When it is not installed properly, you - can get an error message of this kind: - - Fatal error: cannot load shared library dllcoqrun - Reason: dllcoqrun.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory - - In this case, you need either: - - to set the CAML_LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to point to the - directory where dllcoqrun.so is; this is suitable when you want to run - the command a limited number of times in a controlled environment (e.g. - during compilation of binary packages); - - install dllcoqrun.so in a location listed in the file ld.conf that is in - the directory of the standard library of OCaml; - - recompile your bytecode executables after reconfiguring the location - of the shared library: - ./configure -vmbyteflags "-dllib,-lcoqrun,-dllpath,<path>" ... - where <path> is the directory where the dllcoqrun.so is installed; - - (not recommended) compile bytecode executables with a custom OCaml - runtime by using: - ./configure -custom ... - be aware that stripping executables generated this way, or performing - other executable-specific operations, will make them useless. diff --git a/INSTALL.md b/INSTALL.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..03ec26c3b3 --- /dev/null +++ b/INSTALL.md @@ -0,0 +1,326 @@ +Installing From Sources +======================= + +What Do You Need ? +------------------ + +To compile Coq yourself, you need: + +- [OCaml](https://ocaml.org/) (version >= 4.05.0) + (This version of Coq has been tested up to OCaml 4.09.0) + +- The [num](https://github.com/ocaml/num) library; note that it is + included in the OCaml distribution for OCaml versions < 4.06.0 + +- The [findlib](http://projects.camlcity.org/projects/findlib.html) library (version >= 1.8.0) + +- GNU Make (version >= 3.81) + +- a C compiler + +- an IEEE-754 compliant architecture with rounding to nearest + ties to even as default rounding mode (most architectures + should work nowadays) + +- for CoqIDE, the + [lablgtk3-sourceview3](https://github.com/garrigue/lablgtk) library + (version >= 3.0.beta8), and the corresponding GTK 3.x libraries, as + of today (gtk+3 >= 3.18 and gtksourceview3 >= 3.18) + +The IEEE-754 compliance is required by primitive floating-point +numbers (`Require Import Floats`).
