Logtalk - Object oriented extension to Prolog

=================================================================
|
|
|
|
This folder contains a Prolog file, "libpaths.pl", which, when loaded,
|
|
defines the library paths for the Logtalk standard library and for all
|
|
the supplied examples. You may customize this file by adding the paths
|
|
to your own "libraries" in order to easily load your own source code.
|
|
|
|
In order to easily compile and load library and example source files using
|
|
the notation <library>(<entity>), you will need to load the "libpaths.pl"
|
|
into your Prolog compiler after loading the Logtalk compiler/runtime.
|
|
|
|
You might need to edit the "libpaths.pl" file in order to adapt it to reflect
|
|
your Logtalk installation and your Prolog compiler and operating-system
|
|
requirements (for example, some Prolog compilers do not accept or expand
|
|
environment variables ocurring on paths).
|
|
|
|
As defined, the provided "libpaths.pl" file is already compatible with some
|
|
of the most popular Prolog compilers, running on both Windows, Unix, and
|
|
Unix-like operating-systems.
|
|
|
|
The Prolog integration scripts found on the "misc" directory generate scripts
|
|
and shortcuts that automatically load the copy of the "libpaths.pl" file from
|
|
the Logtalk end-user directory created by the "misc/cplgtdirs.*" scripts. See
|
|
the "INSTALL" and the "misc/NOTES" files for more details. Note that a few
|
|
Prolog compilers do not support the <library>(<entity>) notation. See the
|
|
"configs/NOTES" file for details.
|
|
|
|
The somehow contrived code found on the "libpaths.pl" file is needed to ensure
|
|
compatibility with both the ISO Prolog standard and with most Prolog compilers.
|
|
The code could be greatly simplified by using a multifile predicate directive
|
|
for the library path dynamic predicate. Unfortunately, not all Prolog compilers
|
|
support multifile predicates.
