Installing YAP {#install}
==============
2016-04-05 08:12:39 +01:00
YAP-6.3.4 is a [`cmake`](www.cmake.org) based system. We discuss how to use `cmake`
2016-02-19 19:30:09 +00:00
to install YAP, and what are the major options.
Compiling YAP {#CompilingYAP}
-------------
To compile YAP it should be sufficient to:
0: Install a version of `cmake` 3.0 or above, if you don't have it, and add it to your path, you can find it here: https://cmake.org/
* OSX: Create a symbolic link to the command line executables in
/usr/local/bin (which should be on your path) with `sudo ln -s /Applications/CMake.app/Contents/bin/* /usr/local/bin/`
2016-02-19 19:30:09 +00:00
1: Create a directory, say `Build` and `cd` to the directory (`cd Build`).
* Avoid compiling YAP in the src directory, some packages do not allow for that.
2016-02-19 19:30:09 +00:00
2: Run `cmake ../` from within `Build` (or equivalent)
2016-02-19 19:30:09 +00:00
3: Run `make` from within `Build` (or equivalent)
2016-02-19 19:30:09 +00:00
4: If the compilation succeeds, try `./yap`. This is your executable.
2016-02-19 19:30:09 +00:00
5: If you feel satisfied with the result, do `make install`.
* In most systems you will need to be superuser in order to do `make install` and `make info` on the standard directories.

Tuning the Functionality of YAP
-------------------------------
By default, YAP supports tabling, depth first search, and most features found in
modern Prologs. In some cases, you may want to suport extra features, or reduce system size.
`cmake`provides an graphical interface for doing so. From the commmand line, a typical example could be:
~~~~~
2016-04-05 08:12:39 +01:00
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~ /users/vsc/src/yap
2016-02-19 19:30:09 +00:00
~~~~~
2016-04-05 08:12:39 +01:00
The first argument says that this is a release, compiled with full optimisation. The second argument says YAP should install under the ~ drectory. In this case, YAP will add the binaries to /users/vsc/bin, include files to `/users/vsc/include/Yap`, Prolog files to `/users/vsc/share/Yap`, and ay DLL to `/users/vsc/lib/Yap`.
2016-02-19 19:30:09 +00:00
Options include:
+ `CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE`: the two main options are `Debug`, for system development, and Release. to use the system.
+ `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`: where to install YAP, by default `/usr/local`.
+ WITH_DEPTH_LIMIT allows depth limited evaluation, say for
implementing iterative deepening (default)
+ `WITH_CALL_TRACER` allows support for tracing all calls,
retries, and backtracks in the system. This can help in debugging your
application, but results in performance loss (enabled in Debug).
+ `WITH_WAM_PROFILER` allows profiling of abstract machine
instructions. This is useful when developing YAP, should not be so
useful for normal users (not currently supportted)
+ `WITH_YAP_CONDOR` allows using the Condor system that
support High Throughput Computing (HTC) on large collections of
distributively owned computing resources (not yet available)
+ `WITH_TABLING` allows tabling support (default)
+ `WITH_YAPOR_COPY` allows
or-parallelism according to the Muse-based, YapOR model. This option is
still highly experimental.
+ `WITH_GMP` give a path to where one can find the
2016-04-05 08:12:39 +01:00
`GMP` library if not installed in the default path.
2016-02-19 19:30:09 +00:00
It is highly advised to have GMP in your compilation environment.
+ `WITH_READLINE` give a path to where one can find the
2016-04-05 08:12:39 +01:00
`readline` library if not installed in the default path.
2016-02-19 19:30:09 +00:00
It is highly advised in Unix-like environments but not useful in Windows.
+ `-WITH_Threads` allows using of the multi-threading
2016-04-05 08:12:39 +01:00
predicates provided by YAP.
2016-02-19 19:30:09 +00:00
You may also want to use a different compilation environment. As an example:
~~~~~
cmake -GXcode ..
~~~~~
will generate files for compilation of YAP within Apple's Xcode IDE.
You can also use `xcodebuild` from the command line.
2016-04-05 08:12:39 +01:00
Bext follow instructions to fully compile YAP:
#### Compilation Notes for OSX/Brew
Next follows a detailed description of a full install of YAP, including all the packages that YAP can use:
1. Install the XCode toolkit from the Apple App Store (you may have to register as a developer).
2. Install a package manager, such as [brew](http://brew.sh),
3. You will need `cmake` and `gmp`: both are available in brew.
4. other brew packages you may want to install: `gecode`, `libxml2`, `openssl`,
`mariadb`, `openmpi`, `postgresql`, `raptor`,
`sqlite3`, `swig`, `unixodbc`. Note that some of them may be preconditions
to other packages.
5. to install [cudd](http://vlsi.colorado.edu/~fabio/CUDD), a package used by ProbLog and cplint, just use:
~~~~~
brew tap mht208/formal
brew install cudd
~~~~~
6. To use [R](https://www.r-project.org), you must download the `R` distribution from one of the many `R` mirrors.
6. To use [Java](https://www.java.com), you should download the Oracle distributed JDK.
6. When installing [Python](https://www.python.org), verify which python you
are using.
7. There may be conflict between original OSX and the brew packages (eg, `openssl`, `python`, and `sqlite3`. If you prefer leaning on brew:
~~~~~
cmake -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl ..
~~~~~
#### Compilation Notes for Android
Next we present the compilation process for Android. The environment is an OSX, but steps
should be similar for Linux machines. We assume you have downloaded both the Android NDK and the Android SDK.
1. Reserve a directory for compilation:
~~~~~
mkdir android
cd android
~~~~~
2. Get the [GMP-android](https://github.com/Rupan/gmp) port.
2. Call `cmake`:
~~~~~
export ANDROID_NDK=/Volumes/Transcend/vsc/android-ndk-r11c; \
export ANDROID_SDK=/Volumes/Transcend/vsc/AndroidSDK;\
export ANDROID_PORT=1;\
export PATH=$PATH:/Volumes/Transcend/vsc/AndroidSDK/tools/;\
cmake \
-DGMP_INCLUDE_DIRS=/Users/vsc/github/gmp/armeabi-v7a \
-DGMP_LIBRARIES=/Users/vsc/github/gmp/armeabi-v7a/libgmp.so\
-DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=/users/vsc/github/yap-6.3/cmake/android.toolchain.cmake \
-DANDROID_ABI=armeabi-v7a -DANDROID_NATIVE_API_LEVEL=android-23 \
.. && make -j
