Date: Sun 25-Oct-1989 15:06:04 From: Unknown Subject: Prolog ported to NeXT machine? Does anyone have any information on a version of Prolog that has been ported to NeXT 1.0 ? (Or even NeXT 0.9 if source is available!) I have looked at both CProlog and nuprolog and neither can be trivially ported.

I wrote most of NU-Prolog, so I'm interested to know about port problems. NeXT aren't marketing in Australia so I've no first-hand knowledge of them. Would you summarize the problems you found? Jeff Schultz, jws@cs.mu.oz.au ----------------------- With a few changes NUProlog compiled on the NeXT system. However it would not run at all. Indeed it would not even get to the first statement in main(). I suspect, but have not confirmed, that the problems are related to the fact that NUProlog has it's own malloc routines. ****************************************************************************** SBProlog (public domain, available from arizona.edu) compiled and ran with only a couple changes: sim/init.c: remove 'extern char *malloc();' sim/loader.c: remove 'extern fread();' sim/parse_operand.c and sim/print_inst.c: put include statement for "sim.h" before include for "inst.h" I've been told that compiled SBProlog code runs reasonably quickly, but as an interperter, SBProlog is fairly slow. >From: scott@sage.uchicago.edu (Scott Deerwester)
