mSQL
The first step in installing mSQL is obtaining the source distribution. At the time of this writing, the newest versions of mSQL were only distributed through the Hughes Technology web page at http://www.Hughes.com.au. The author of mSQL has chosen not to officially distribute binary copies of mSQL. If you are on a machine without a C compiler, you will either have to install one, or compile mSQL on another machine with the same hardware and operating system and copy over the results.

Run the setup
script in the current directory. Make sure

so that the shell
doesn’t run any program named setup in
another directory instead. This script will configure the source code
for compilation. After this script has competed, examine the
site.mm
file and change any parameters you wish in
order to customize your local installation. In particular, you may
wish to change the
INST_DIR
variable that determines the directory where ...
