SML-MAL

This is Make-A-Lisp in Standard ML.

Building

Just run make.

Building requires a Standard ML compiler with basis library. This MAL implementation has been tested and works with Poly/ML, MLton, and Moscow ML.

On Ubuntu, you can run apt-get install polyml libpolyml-dev.

By setting sml_MODE to polyml, mosml, or mlton on invoking make you can select which compiler to use. The Makefile has some hacks to figure out how to make the different compilers build everything.

Running

You can build a mal binary from the final step with make dist:

$ make dist
$ ./mal
Mal [sml]
