The mercury Portfile 40561 2008-10-06 21:16:22Z jmr macports.org $

PortSystem 1.0

Name: mercury
Version: 0.13.1
Category: lang
Maintainers: nomaintainer
Platform: darwin
Description: The Mercury Programming Language
Long Description: Mercury is a new logic/functional programming language, which combines the clarity and expressiveness of declarative programming with advanced static analysis and error detection features. Its highly optimized execution algorithm delivers efficiency far in excess of existing logic programming systems, and close to conventional programming systems. Mercury addresses the problems of large-scale program development, allowing modularity, separate compilation, and numerous optimization/time trade-offs.

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/mercury
%  sudo port install mercury  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching mercury
--->  Verifying checksum for mercury
--->  Extracting mercury
--->  Configuring mercury
--->  Building mercury with target all

--->  Staging mercury into destroot

--->  Installing mercury

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using mercury with these commands:

%  man mercury
%  apropos mercury
%  which mercury
%  locate mercury
