Installing Slate

From SlateWiki

After downloading Slate, run make or make vm from the root directory of your Slate distribution.

In post-0.3.0 versions of Slate, sudo make install will place the Slate VM and other files in globally-appropriate places for typical unix-like systems. These may be customized as necessary by editing the Makefile.inc.

Run ./vm little.image (or big.image for big-endian systems) and Voila! You are using Slate...

  • The README file of the Slate distribution contains up-to-date information on building Slate.
  • If you use Mingw (http://www.mingw.org/) or BeOS you need to modify the top-level Makefile by editting the platform name so that make knows you want to use the gcc toolchain.
