2.1 Requirements

This section lists requirements when building Mes from source. The build procedure for Mes is the same as for other GNU software, and is not covered here. Please see the files README and INSTALL in the Mes source tree for additional details.

GNU Mes depends on the following packages:

• GNU Guile, version 2.0.13 or later, including 2.2.x and 3.0.x,
• GNU Make.
• NYACC, version 1.00.2 or later; 1.09.4 is known to work,
• GCC’s gcc, version 2.95.3 or later, including 10.2.0,
• mescc-tools, version 1.5.0,

The following dependencies are optional:

• Support for building the bootstrap bin/mes-m2 depends on
• M2-Planet, version 1.11.0.

Mes is compatible with GNU Guile, so it is possible to share the same Scheme code between both. Currently Mes only supports the minimal subset of R5RS and Guile extensions to run MesCC.
