Re: Bug compiling GNU Prolog with MSVC

[Daniel Diaz]

This is due to the fact GNU Prolog Win32 GUI interfaces uses the 
Microsoft HTML-Help Workshop. You can get the HTML-Help Workshop from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/htmlhelp/html/vsconHH1Start.asp
(file HTMLHELP.EXE). Install it and then create a hhvars.bat:

@echo off
echo Setting environment for using HTML Help Workshop.
PATH=%PATH%;"C:\Program Files\HTML Help Workshop"

(add it to your cygwin.bat or the .bat launching your cygwin bourne shell)

copy
  c:\Program Files\HTML Help Workshop\INCLUDE\*.* in VC98\Include\
  c:\Program Files\HTML Help Workshop\LIB\*.* in VC98\Lib

NB: The user does not need the entire HTML Help Workshop to view a .chm 
file, only a runtime called "Help Viewer" that can be downloaded (file: 
HHUPD.EXE) from the same URL (also available in C:\Program Files\HTML 
Help Workshop\REDIST). Can be freely redistributed.
