Creating a Windows console application from SWI-Prolog |
If you want to use a SWI-Prolog program as a stand-alone .exe
, you can
do this using qsave_program/2 or using the commandline. The command
below creates myapp.exe
from load.pl
and makes the program start at
main/0
swipl.exe -o myapp.exe -c load.pl --goal=main
To run, myapp.exe
requires .dll
files from the installation's
bin
directory. The required .dll
files are listed below. Note that
the details may depend on the version and installation. Notably
libdwarf.dll
may not be present and the others may have a different
version.
libgcc_s_seh-1.dll
libgmp-10.dll
libswipl.dll
libwinpthread-1.dll
zlib1.dll
Your application may depend on additional .dll
files loaded through
use_foreign_library/1. You can find these with current_foreign_library/2.
Recent versions provide win_process_modules/1 which returns a list of
all DLLs loaded into the process. This includes an up-to-date version
fror your installation of the list above, the DLLs used by the loaded
extensions and the standard Windows DLLs. You can now copy all DLL files
reported by win_process_modules/1 that are part of the SWI-Prolog
distribution. The Prolog flag home
provides access to the root of the
distribution hierarchy.
The required .dll
files must be installed in the same directory as
the executable or in a directory available through %PATH%
.
