@@ -4,5 +4,11 @@ These theories are a snapshot of the generated files for the Sail
MIPS, CHERI, RISC-V, and Aarch64 models, translated to HOL4 via Lem.
They only require HOL4; the necessary Lem library files are included.
+A recent checkout of HOL4 from the repository at
+<https://github.com/HOL-Theorem-Prover/HOL/> is required. This snapshot was
+successfully built with commit `7ed3f12`, for example. Some older versions
+will fail with a Holdep error due to a lexer bug in HOL that has now been
+fixed.

Note that HOL4 takes a substantial amount of time to process the definition of
the `regstate` record. In particular, allow over an hour for the MIPS model.
