# in $HOME/lib and $HOME/lib/include.

# As for Noweb itself, the Makefile doesn't seem to work as
# advertised. You need to comment out some code as mentioned below.
# Since you are hacking the files anyway, you can set up the locations
# the way you want them without having a long stream of redefines on
# your "make" line.

# The Cocktail compiler construction kit is a commercial product
# requiring a license to run after the initial demo period.  The
# license is not cheap, so you will probably want to run "ast", the
# only program that we use from the kit, on mercury.cs.uml.edu where
# we have a license.  An alternative is to try to install the last
# public domain version before the product went commercial. You can
# find a link to the public domain version at the bottom of the page
# http://www.first.gmd.de/cocktail/
