With a build system like that, it gets exactly as much attention as it deserves... D: Do a ./configure --help, and try to figure out what the best "grade"(s) to build is/are. I've been meaning to try Mercury for years, but after this, there's no chance I'm going to try writing anything in it. What other crufty unusable insanity have they built in there?

  It is a bit obscure. I let it build the ones it wants to build by default. This gives me the flexibility of deciding later when building Mercury programs what I want as a backend. This blog post describes some of them: https://adventuresinmercury.blogspot.co.nz/2011/11/making-grade.html https://adventuresinmercury.blogspot.co.nz/2011/11/making-gr...
