- SWI-Prolog 2.9.10 for AmigaOS
- *****************************
-
- Looking for a decent Prolog implementation for the Amiga? This might be
- it.
-
- The Archives
- ************
-
- The SWI-Prolog 2.9.10 AmigaOS-distribution consists of four seperate
- archives (unless you wish to compile your own executable and
- runtime-module, you only need one of the binary archives)...
-
- 1. The source archive (swisrc.lha)
- This is the original Unix-source archive except for AmigaOS-specific
- 'src/config.h', 'src/Makefile' and 'src/pl-os.c' files. Thus you don't
- need to run 'configure' (I didn't work for me in 2.9.10 anyway) any more,
- 'make' suffices.
-
- 2. The 68k binary archive (swi000.lha)
- All you need to run SWI on any 68k AmigaOS-machine. Includes pl-library,
- documentation, runtime-module, pl.qlf-path-specifications et al.
-
- 3. The 68020 binary archive (swi020.lha)
- Same as 2. for 68020+.
-
- 4. The 68040 binary archive (swi040.lha)
- Guess what.
-
- The executables
- ***************
-
- The included executables resulted from a straight, *not* very fancy ADE
- port. Thus to run SWI-Prolog you need
-
- * ixemul.library (v46)
-
- plus
-
- * an assign called 'SWI:' to the SWI directory
-
- I consider changing to libnix in the future. We'll see. Would be nice if
- anyone with SAS or StormC could produce a efficient executable (mine seems
- to be 4 times slower on my 060/50 than on a stone-old P100).
-
- Nice Tips
- *********
-
- * to gain back the Amiga Shell history function and line editing but
- loose bracket matching and direct keyboard control start SWI-Prolog with
- the '-tty'-switch: 'pl -tty'
-
- * break SWI-Prolog by pressing CTRL-C
-
- * exit back to the Shell by pressing CTRL and the key left from
- Backspace simultaneously (or click the Shell's close gadget)
-
- * get yourself a good ADE installation and correctly set PAGER and
- EDITOR environment variables in order to make predicates like 'help' and
- 'edit' usable
-
- The End

- Post any questions to rade@coli.uni-sb.de and have some fun doing prolog
- stuff on the Amiga >:)
