Running mzc

Under Unix and Windows, run mzc from a shell, passing in flags and arguments on the command line.

Under MacOS, double-click on the mzc launcher application and provide arguments in the command line dialog that appears (close the MzScheme application first if it is already running, since mzc is itself a MzScheme-based application).

In this manual, an example command line is shown like the following:

  mzc --extension --prefix macros.ss file.ss

To run this example under Unix or Windows, type the command line into a shell, replacing mzc with the path to mzc on your system. Under MacOS, launch mzc and then enter everything after mzc into the dialog that appears and click the OK button.

Simple on-line help is available for mzc's command line arguments by running mzc with the -help flag.
