2.2 Bootstrap Requirements

This section lists requirements when building Mes as a bootstrap package. The bootstrap build procedure for Mes is similar to building GNU software and goes like this

sh configure.sh --prefix=/your/prefix/here
sh bootstrap.sh
sh check.sh
sh install.sh

See configure.sh and bootstrap.sh for inspiration on what environment variables to set.

Bootstrapping Mes depends on the following packages:

• a POSIX-compatible shell
• mescc-tools, version 1.5.0,
• M2-Planet, version 1.11.0.
• NYACC, version 1.00.2 or later; 1.09.4 is known to work.
