Quick start
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Open the manuals/index.html file with a web browser.
|
|
|
|
2. Select the Tutorial link. This will provide you with a basic understanding
|
|
of the main Logtalk concepts.
|
|
|
|
3. Go back to the index.html file and select the User Manual link and then
|
|
the Installing and running Logtalk link. This will provide you with a basic
|
|
understanding of how to start Logtalk and compile and load Logtalk code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Assuming that Logtalk supports your Prolog compiler:
|
|
|
|
1. Read the NOTES file in the configs sub-directory to check if any patch
|
|
or workaround is needed for your compiler.
|
|
|
|
2. Start your Prolog compiler.
|
|
|
|
3. Compile and load the config file for your Prolog compiler.
|
|
|
|
4. Compile and load the Logtalk pre-processor/runtime found in the compiler
|
|
sub-directory.
|
|
|
|
Note that both the configuration files and the compiler/pre-processor
|
|
files are Prolog files. The predicate called to load these files depends
|
|
on your Prolog compiler. In case of doubt, consult your Prolog compiler
|
|
reference manual or take a look at the definition of the predicate
|
|
lgt_load_prolog_code/1 in the configuration file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now you can try some of the included examples:
|
|
|
|
1. Open the examples sub-directory. There you find several sub-directories
|
|
with ready to run examples and a NOTES file containing a brief description
|
|
of each example. Select and open one of the examples sub-directory.
|
|
|
|
3. Read the example NOTES file. Some examples are dependent on other examples
|
|
or on library objects. You may need to load additional files before running
|
|
the chosen example.
|
|
|
|
4. Change the working directory of your Prolog compiler to the example
|
|
directory. If you don't know what predicate to use, check the configs/NOTES
|
|
file or your Prolog reference manual.
|
|
|
|
5. Compile and load the file named <example name>.loader. This will compile
|
|
and load all the example files. Note that the loader file is a Prolog file.
|
|
|
|
6. Open the example SCRIPT file. One by one, copy&paste or drag&drop the
|
|
queries in the file to your Prolog top-level.
|
|
|
|
7. Enjoy!
