Building Standalone Programs

The following instructions for building standalone programs with SML/NJ are adapted from the Apr 10, 2000 SML/NJ 110.27 release README:

Building standalone programs

The command ml-build can be used to build standalone programs. ml-build takes three arguments:

1. the name of the CM library that implements and exports the "main" function of your program
2. the name of the "main" function of your program as exported by 1. (The function must have a type that makes it suitable as an argument to SMLofNJ.exportFn.)
3. the name of the heapfile to be generated
