| - | ====== JPL ====== | ||
| - | [[http://www.swi-prolog.org/packages/jpl/|JPL]] is a library using the SWI-Prolog foreign interface and the Java jni interface providing a bidirectional interface between Java and Prolog that can be used to embed Prolog in Java as well as for embedding Java in Prolog. In both setups it provides a reentrant bidirectional interface. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Installing SWI-Prolog with JPL in Linux ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Notice: Based on first-hand experience, the use of standard ''swi-prolog'' packages in Debian-based distributions is **not** recommended, due to the following: | ||
| - | * ''swi-prolog'' is absent in Debian Etch whatsoever (packages can be found in unstable and testing branches though), | ||
| - | * JPL is not included in Debian/Ubuntu packages (probably due to licensing issues, see below), | ||
| - | * the standard package name (''pl'') has been changed to ''swi-prolog''; that is known to break some things, including XPCE. | ||
| - | |||
| - | With the above in mind, the following options are available: | ||
| - | * use the stable RPM package available at the [[http://www.swi-prolog.org/dl-stable.html|SWI-Prolog download page]] (RPM-based distros only), | ||
| - | * install from source (coming soon), | ||
| - | * [[rpm2deb|convert the RPM package to DEB]] (in this case, rather harmless) or use the converted package, | ||
| - | * use binary packages compiled from the source (coming soon). | ||
| - | |||
| - | Alternatively, you can use the repository packages and install JPL as standalone. For now, posts #6 and #7 in [[http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=447728|this discussion]] should provide some insight. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Installing SWI-Prolog with JPL in Mac OS X ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Installation and testing instructions for Mac OS X can be found [[macosx|here]]. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Testing ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | The following can be used to test whether JPL is working properly. | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ===== Packages ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | The following SWI-Prolog with JPL packages are available: | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Debian Etch FIXME | ||
| - | * Ubuntu 8.04 FIXME | ||
| - | * :?: Mac OS X FIXME | ||
| - | |||
| - | For DIY: | ||
| - | * //Patches vs. original debian/ubuntu packages// FIXME | ||
| - | * build dependencies! FIXME | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ====== Specs ====== | ||
| - | Some insight plus specs: | ||
| - | * jpl is supposed to work with sun jdk only! (as stated by Jan W.) | ||
| - | * the main reason [[http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=449437|why jpl is not enabled]] in standard debian/ubuntu is the fact, that sun jdk is not free | ||
| - | * so compilation of jpl is disabled in debs by a debian patch, BUT removing the patch does not result in a working packages! why? | ||
| - | * we assume, that the packages built will use the standard sun-jdk packages, as generated by the [[http://packages.debian.org/etch/java-package|java-package for etch]] (and hardy) | ||
| - | * working with jdk 1.5 is a must! | ||
| - | * working with jdk 1.6 should also be tested and reported! use [[http://packages.debian.org/lenny/java-package|java-package from lenny]] | ||
| - | * it should be tested using current swi versions from both [[http://packages.debian.org/lenny/swi-prolog|testing]] and [[http://packages.debian.org/sid/swi-prolog|sid]]! | ||
| - | * check what changed (java package and swi vers) in intrepid ibex | ||
| - | * some main problems with jpl include a proper location and config. (paths, env vars) for //jpl.so// and //jpl.jar// | ||
| - | * I assume we get OS X instructions completely free too :-) | ||
| - | * in the future we might consider testing with openjdk, icedtea, classpath,gcj, whatever... but not now. | ||
