================================================================
Logtalk - Open source object-oriented logic programming language
Release 2.30.7
Copyright (c) 1998-2007 Paulo Moura. All Rights Reserved.
================================================================
This directory contains Prolog integration shell scripts and auxiliary
Prolog files.
On POSIX systems, the Logtalk installers make the following integration
scripts available from the command-line (you may need to adjust your
system path):
bplgt B-Prolog integration script
ciaolgt Ciao Prolog integration script
cxlgt CxProlog integration script
eclipselgt ECLiPSe integration script
gplgt GNU Prolog integration script
plclgt K-Prolog integration script
qplgt Qu-Prolog integration script
sicstuslgt SICStus Prolog integration script
swilgt SWI-Prolog integration script
xsblgt XSB integration script (single-threaded)
xsbmtlgt XSB integration script (multi-threaded)
yaplgt YAP integration script
On Windows systems, the Logtalk installer makes the Prolog integration
shortcuts available from the "Start Menu/Programs/Logtalk" menu.
The first run of the B-Prolog, Ciao, and XSB integration scripts must be
made by an user with administrative rights (on POSIX systems, run them
once as root or using sudo; in Windows systems run them once from an
administrative account).
The GNU Prolog integration script provides adequate performance for
development. For production environments, improved performance may be
achieved by generating a new GNU-Prolog top-level that includes Logtalk.
The SWI-Prolog integration script assumes XPCE is installed. If that's
not the case, comment out the loading of the file "xpcehook.pl" on the
"integration/logtalk_swi.pl" file.
Other Prolog compilers require manual steps for integration with Logtalk.
See the "configs/NOTES.txt" file for details.
The environment variables LOGTALKHOME and LOGTALKUSER should be defined
in order to run the integration scripts (see the "INSTALL.txt" file for
details on setting the variables).
Note that the integration scripts and shortcuts may fail if you use non-
standard locations for your Prolog compilers.
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 the back-end Prolog compilers. Please consult the documentation
on the Prolog compilers you intend to use for details.
All the scripts accept command-line options, which are passed straight to
the back-end Prolog compiler. For example (on a POSIX operating-system,
using SWI-Prolog as the back-end compiler):
% swilgt -g "write('Hello world!'), nl"
However, keep in mind that the integration scripts already use the back-end
Prolog command-line option that allows a initialization file to be loaded
in order to bootstrap Logtalk. See the scripts files for details.
