| Subject: | Low/Makefile.PL not right for MS Windows |
Hi,
I've just downloaded the current SWI-Prolog binaries (5.10.2) for
Windows. The Low/Makefile.PL tries to run `plcon.exe -dump-runtime-
variables`, but there's no such executable with 5.10.2. Instead, it
needs to run `swipl.exe -dump-runtime-variables`.
Also, the name of the import library is 'swipl.lib', not 'pl.lib' as
the Low/Makefile.PL expects.
The attached patch (portably) fixes the problem ... albeit in a not-
particularly-elegant way.
Cheers,
Rob
