================================================================= Logtalk - Object oriented extension to Prolog Release 2.29.1 Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Paulo Moura. All Rights Reserved. ================================================================= This directory contains several shell scripts used for Logtalk packaging, installation, and integration with Prolog compilers. Those with extension ".sh" are Bourne-compatible shells scripts for MacOS X, Linux, and similar systems. Those with extension ".js" are JScript command-line scripts for Windows; they require WSH 5.6 or later version to be installed and should be run using cscript.exe from a DOS command line shell (you may download WSH 5.6 from http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/list/webdev.asp) build_release.sh helper script for building the distribution files of a new Logtalk release lgt_install.sh shell script for installing Logtalk in a system-wide location for Unix and Unix-like operating systems (must be run from this directory by a user with administration privileges; accepts as an optional argument a prefix for the installation directory, default is /usr/local with useful scripts written to /usr/local/bin that should be your path) lgt_install.js Windows 2000/XP JScript script for completing the Logtalk installation by setting the LOGTALKHOME system environment variable and the LOGTALKUSER user environment variable (for the user performing the installation), by creating a new program group named "Logtalk" in the Windows Start Menu, and by adding the directories %LOGTALKHOME%\scripts and %LOGTALKHOME%\xml to the system path environment variable (must be run from this directory by a user with administration privileges after decompressing the Logtalk distribution into its final destination; you must restart your computer after running this script in order to use the items on the "Logtalk" program group due to the definition of new system environment variables) linux/build_rpm.sh simple shell script for building Linux RPMs linux/logtalk.spec specification file for building Linux RPMs (copy the Logtalk tarball to your RPM SOURCES directory and then run the command: rpmbuild -ba --target=noarch-*-linux logtalk.spec) macosx directory containing files used when building MacOS X installer packages windows/logtalk.iss Inno Setup GUI Windows installer script; you may compile it with Inno Setup 5.1.9 or later version to produce a Windows 2000/XP GUI installer (http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php) cplgtdirs.sh cplgtdirs.js end-user scripts for copying the Logtalk user-modifiable files and directories to the location pointed by the environment variable LOGTALKUSER (defaults to ~/logtalk on Unix-like operating-systems and to My Documents\logtalk on Windows when the variable is not defined); must be run by the end-user in order to ensure proper permissions for the copied files cleandist.sh script for cleaning a Logtalk distribution in preparation for packaging debian directory containing support files for building a Debian package (work in progress; not yet functional) The following scripts allow easy integration of Logtalk with selected Prolog compilers; they must be run by a user with administration privileges: make_ciaolgt.sh makes a shell script named "ciaolgt" for running Logtalk with CIAO Prolog (the first run of the "ciaolgt" script must be made as root or using sudo) make_ciaolgt.js makes a Windows shortcut named "Logtalk - CIAO" for running Logtalk with CIAO 1.10 (the first call to the shortcut must be made by a user with administrative rights) make_eclipselgt.sh makes a shell script named "eclipselgt" for running Logtalk with ECLiPSe make_eclipselgt.js makes a Windows shortcut named "Logtalk - ECLiPSe" for running Logtalk with ECLiPSe 5.11 or 5.10 (if you are using a different version, you must edit the reference to the registry key in the script; if you prefer to use TkEclipse, open the %LOGTALKHOME%\bin\logtalke_eclipse.pl file with it) make_gplgt.sh makes a shell script named "gplgt" for running Logtalk with GNU Prolog (this script is adequate for development purposes but does not provide the best possible performance for running Logtalk with this Prolog compiler; for optimal performance, see the configs/NOTES file) make_gplgt.js makes a Windows shortcut named "Logtalk - GNU Prolog" for running Logtalk with GNU Prolog (this script is adequate for development purposes but does not provide the best possible performance for running Logtalk with this Prolog compiler; for optimal performance, see the configs/NOTES file) make_plclgt.sh makes a shell script named "plclgt" for running Logtalk with K-Prolog make_plclgt.js makes a Windows shortcut named "Logtalk - K-Prolog" for running Logtalk with K-Prolog make_qplgt.sh makes a shell script named "qplgt" for running Logtalk with Qu-Prolog (based on script code contributed by Peter Robinson); this script does not read at runtime the config and the libpaths files: you will need to run this script again if you modify these files make_sicstuslgt.sh makes a shell script named "sicstuslgt" for running Logtalk with SICStus Prolog make_sicstuslgt.js makes a Windows shortcut named "Logtalk - SICStus Prolog" for running Logtalk with SICStus Prolog 3.12 or 4.0 (if you are using a different version, you must edit the reference to the registry key in the script) make_swilgt.sh makes a shell script named "swilgt" for running Logtalk with SWI-Prolog; the script assumes that the SWI-Prolog executable is named "swipl" on MacOS X and named "pl" on Linux and other similar operating systems; with multi-threading support turned on, you will get an warmless message when halting the system regarding threads that wouldn't die: you can supress the message by using "% swilgt 2> /dev/null" make_swilgt.js makes a Windows shortcut named "Logtalk - SWI-Prolog" for running Logtalk with SWI-Prolog make_yaplgt.sh makes a shell script named "yaplgt" for running Logtalk with YAP make_yaplgt.js makes a Windows shortcut named "Logtalk - YAP" for running Logtalk with YAP (assumes that the Yap folder is installed in C:\Program Files; edit the path to the "yap.exe" executable in the script if necessary) make_xsblgt.sh makes a shell script named "xsblgt" for running Logtalk with XSB (the first run of the "xsblgt" script must be made as root or using sudo); due to lack of XSB support for dealing with environment variables in file paths, each user must set the environment variable LOGTALKUSER to ~/logtalk make_xsblgt.js makes a Windows shortcut named "Logtalk - XSB" for running Logtalk with XSB (the first call to the shortcut must be made by a user with administrative rights; assumes that XSB is installed in C:\, edit the path to the "xsb.exe" executable in the script if necessary; each user will need to edit the file libpaths/libpaths_no_env_var.pl in order to replace all occurrences of the LOGTALKUSER environment variable with its value) makeall_lgt.sh simple shell script for running all the make_*lgt.sh shell scripts in sequence (except the make_qplgt.sh as this script implies modifications to the Logtalk files which are not necessary for the other Prolog compilers); note that this script will not print any of the special instructions, remarks, or error messages that you may get when running the make_*lgt.sh shell scripts individually makeall_lgt.js simple shell script for running all the make_*lgt.js shell scripts in sequence; note that this script will not print any of the special instructions, remarks, or error messages that you may get when running the make_*lgt.js shell scripts individually These scripts require the environment variable LOGTALKHOME (pointing to the Logtalk installation directory) to be defined. The *.sh shell scripts accept as an optional argument a prefix for the location of a link to the scripts (default is /usr/local, creating the links in /usr/local/bin). The *.js scripts add the created shortcuts to the "Logtalk" program group (which is accessed from the Windows Start Menu). Please note that the environment variables LOGTALKHOME and LOGTALKUSER must be defined in order to run the *lgt scripts that are created by the shell scripts above or the Windows shortcuts (see the INSTALL file for details on setting the variables). When Logtalk is manually installed from sources, the shell scripts might not have the executable permission bit set. In that case it will be necessary to first run the command "chmod a+x *.sh" on the "scripts" and "xml" directories. Depending on the size and complexity of your Logtalk applications, you may need to change the integration scripts in order to allocate more memory to Prolog compilers. Please consult the documentation on the Prolog compilers you intend to use for details.
