NAME
       ml-build - command-line build tool for SML/NJ programs

SYNOPSIS
       ml-build [OPTIONS] group.cm [main [heap-image]]

DESCRIPTION
       ML-Build is a command-line tool for building applications from SML
       source files using the Compilation Manager and SML/NJ compiler.

OPTIONS
       -Cctl=value
           set the control ctl to value.

       -Dname=value
           define the CM variable name to have the given value.

       -D'name
           define the CM variable name to have the value 1.

       -Uname
           remove any definition of the CM variable name.

       -S setup.cm
           load and execute the code specified by the CM file setup.cm prior
           to the main build process.  This option allows one to customize the
           compiler via side-effect.

EXAMPLES
       ml-build foo.cm
           builds the program foo assuming a main function named Test.main.

       ml-build foo.cm Main.main
           builds the program foo with main function named Main.main.

       ml-build sources.cm Main.main prog
           builds the program prog with main function named Main.main.
