Components
Quintus Prolog is organized into a number of components to enable
you to
easily choose which pieces of the release you wish to install. The
installation script lists the available components that can be
installed. Under Windows, all available components are installed.
The following components are included in Quintus Prolog Release 3.5
on all platforms:
pro
- The core component that contains the development system,
runtime generator and associated tools, plus the Quintus library,
tutorial and demo files and the main help system files.
edit
- Support files for the interface between GNU Emacs and Quintus Prolog.
The following components are included on UNIX platforms:
proxl
- A low level interface to the X Window system, built directly on
top of the Xlib library.
proxt
- An interface to the Motif toolkit that provides access to
Motif functionality for developing graphical user interfaces in Prolog.
qui
- The Quintus User Interface, providing a Motif based
development environment that includes a source linked debugger for Prolog.
sys
- This component updates certain operating system files, for example
to enable
make(1) and file(1) to understand QOF files.
The pro component must be installed in order to run Quintus Prolog.
All other components are optional, although we suggest
that they all be installed.
