=================================================================
Logtalk - Object oriented extension to Prolog
Release 2.29.5
Copyright (c) 1998-2007 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", which 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 POSIX 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.txt" 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.txt" 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.txt"
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.
