Proper sequence of commands to build SML/NJ from SVN

[Vesa Karvonen-2]

What is the proper sequence of commands to fully (re)build/bootstrap
SML/NJ from a checked out SVN copy?

Specifically, I'd like to fix a couple of minor issues in SML/NJ's
Basis library implementation, verify/test the changes, and submit a
patch, but I have not been able to rebuild the compiler after the
changes to a usable state.  The instructions in
http://www.smlnj.org/doc/CM/btcomp/index.html do not work.  In
particular, instructions on the page
http://www.smlnj.org/doc/CM/btcomp/node8.html do NOT produce a working
system (at least the rm command is wrong).  Depending on what I try,
either magic numbers differ in libraries (IOW, some libraries weren't
updated properly for the newly build compiler) or some files become
missing (if I actually delete files from lib or bin).

Please write a single shell script or Makefile for the process.

I have used below sequence in the past. Also find it in the
attachment.

If you have bad magic number then there is maybe something wrong in
config/install.sh not building everything again.

I have never used rm in this purpose. I don't know how it can destroy
build.

Maybe your modification touches some tricky parts.

It's basically a software version of 110.60 and it is necessary to build the software properly in the different operating systems. For UNIX operating systems, you have to download the file manually config.tgz and it will install automatically. For windows based operating systems we have to download the file smlnj.zip  and follow the instructions.
