Author: Gergo Barany Building melmac from source --------------------------- Currently, the only way to install melmac on your machine is to build it from source. melmac is developed using SWI-Prolog, which you will have to install on your machine; get it from http://www.swi-prolog.org/ . It should not be very painful to install. melmac has been tested with SWI-Prolog versions 5.6.47 and 5.6.59. It has been verified not to work with SWI-Prolog version 5.4.7. melmac also requires some vanilla "make" program. After unpacking the melmac sources, you might need to edit the toplevel Makefile. The variable PL refers to a name under which SWI-Prolog can be invoked on your system. The default is "xpce", which should usually work. To build melmac, simply type "make". If all goes well, this creates an executable called "melmac". You can copy that executable wherever you want. There is no nifty automated installation rule yet. Once melmac is built, you can start using it. See file README to get started. Testing melmac -------------- Type "make check" to run a few automated tests. The test script will complain if anything goes wrong.
