wenzelm@3259: The Isabelle System Distribution
wenzelm@3259:
wenzelm@3259: Version information
wenzelm@3259:
wenzelm@4987: This is the internal repository version of Isabelle. Starting with
wenzelm@4987: Isabelle98, the current line of Isabelle introduces many new features,
wenzelm@5665: but also some incompatibilities with Isabelle94-XX. See the
wenzelm@4987: NEWS file in the distribution for more details.
wenzelm@3259:
wenzelm@3259:
wenzelm@3259: System requirements
wenzelm@3259:
wenzelm@3259: Isabelle requires a real Unix box with sufficient resources. Fun
wenzelm@5665: starts at about 32MB of main memory (somewhat depending on your ML
wenzelm@5665: system), with several tens of MB disk space and a relatively fast CPU.
wenzelm@3259:
wenzelm@3259:
wenzelm@3259:
wenzelm@3259: Furthermore, it needs the following software, which is not part of the
wenzelm@3259: distribution:
wenzelm@3259:
wenzelm@5665: - A full Standard ML Compiler (e.g. SML of New Jersey).
wenzelm@3279:
- The GNU bash shell (version 1.x or 2.x).
wenzelm@5665:
- Perl 5.x - the Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister (Perl 4.x
wenzelm@5665: is *not* sufficient).
wenzelm@3259:
wenzelm@3259:
wenzelm@3259:
wenzelm@3259:
wenzelm@3259: The following ML system and platform combinations are known to work
wenzelm@3259: quite well:
wenzelm@3259:
wenzelm@5665: - SML/NJ 110.x on any Unix platform (e.g. Suns, Linux).
wenzelm@3259:
- SML/NJ 0.93 on Suns and SGIs. There seem to be several
wenzelm@5665: problems with Linux and HP-UX, though.
wenzelm@5665:
- Poly/ML versions 2.x and 3.1 on Suns.
wenzelm@3259:
wenzelm@3259:
wenzelm@3259:
wenzelm@3259:
wenzelm@4431: SML/NJ
wenzelm@4431: needs lots of store and disk space, but it is free. The current
wenzelm@5665: official release is 110.x, working versions 109.27 to 109.33 should
wenzelm@5665: also work. We also still support the old 0.93 release.
wenzelm@3259:
wenzelm@3259:
wenzelm@3259:
wenzelm@4431: MLWorks is a
paulson@5678: commercial ML programming environment. Isabelle on MLWorks 2.0 works well.
paulson@5678: It is about 20% faster than on SML/NJ while using slightly less memory and
paulson@5678: disk space. A few minor features (e.g. top-level pretty printing) are not yet
paulson@5678: supported, though.
wenzelm@5665:
wenzelm@5665:
wenzelm@5665:
wenzelm@5665: Poly/ML used to be a commercial product by Abstract Hardware Limited
wenzelm@5665: (now Abstract, Inc.). It is no longer available. We're awaiting news
wenzelm@5665: about future availability of Poly/ML.

Installation
wenzelm@3259:
wenzelm@3259: See file INSTALL in the Isabelle sources on how to build the
wenzelm@3259: system. Further background information may be found in the
wenzelm@5665: Isabelle System Manual, distributed with the sources (see
wenzelm@5665: directory doc).
wenzelm@3259:
wenzelm@3259:
wenzelm@3306: Interfaces
wenzelm@3306:
wenzelm@3306: The distribution includes only a very primitive interface based on
wenzelm@3306: ordinary terminal sessions.
wenzelm@3306:
wenzelm@5534: Isamode by
wenzelm@4481: David Aspinall is a more elaborate interface for Isabelle. It runs
wenzelm@5534: under recent versions of XEmacs and is useful to both novices and
wenzelm@5534: experts.
