Re: Compiling with MSVCC

[Daniel Diaz]

Hello,

To compile GNU-Prolog with MSVC you should first install the cygwin tools 
since the compilation process uses usual Unix tools (make, cp, rm, ...).

Then use --with-msvc with ./configure (also use --disable-sockets)
In a first time you can omit the provisional GUI Console using  
--disable-gui-console

Example:

./configure --with-c-flags=debug --with-msvc --disable-sockets  
--disable-gui-console

Then type make (under a Cygwin shell)

The obtained executables (gprolog.exe, gplc.exe) do not need the cygwin 
compatibility box.

Hope this helps.
