Hello, I am sending these notes in the hope that they will be useful to whoever needs to get gprolog going with visual studio 2005. 1. Downloaded the gnu prolog 1.2.19 source package 2. installed cygwin, make sure to get make too, it's not in the base packages. 3. installed nasm, VERY IMPORTANT - make sure there are no double quotes in your PATH variables (system and user). If the PATH component for nasm is towards the end and you have "c:\program files\whatever\bin" before it, then spawnvp() will fail to find and run nasmw.exe resulting in weird errors like "Invalid argument". Either put the path to nasmw as close to the front as possible or better yet remove double quotes from all path components. 4. if there is a link.exe in cygwin or other unix compatibility directories, make sure it doesn't shadow (come before) the vstudio link.exe in the PATH. 4. ./configure --prefix=/cygdrive/c/prolog --with-msvc 5. make, make install
All in all, it's a great prolog system, very well implemented. -- ___________________________________________________ Play 100s of games for FREE! http://games.mail.com/ _______________________________________________ Users-prolog mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/users-prolog
