Running Logtalk developer versions

Follow these steps to run a Logtalk developer version checked out from the Logtalk Subversion server:

1. Checking out the latest Logtalk development version

From the command-line, type the following commands:

cd ~
svn checkout http://svn.logtalk.org/logtalk/trunk lgtsvn

A lgtsvn directory will be created on your home directory containing a local copy of the current Logtalk development version. Later, to update your local copy to the latest development version just type:

cd ~/lgtsvn
svn update

In alternative, you may use a GUI Subversion client.

2. Installing Logtalk

POSIX installation

If you use a bash shell, add the following lines to your ~/.profile file:

LOGTALKHOME=$HOME/lgtsvn
LOGTALKUSER=$HOME/lgtsvn
PATH=$PATH:$LOGTALKHOME/xml:$LOGTALKHOME/scripts:$LOGTALKHOME/integration
export PATH LOGTALKHOME LOGTALKUSER

If you use a csh shell, add the following line to your ~/.cshrc file:

setenv LOGTALKHOME $HOME/lgtsvn
setenv LOGTALKUSER $HOME/lgtsvn
setenv PATH $PATH:$LOGTALKHOME/xml:$LOGTALKHOME/scripts:$LOGTALKHOME/integration

If your lgtsvn directory is not in your home directory, adjust the paths above accordingly.

Windows installation

Checkout the Logtalk development version into the directory C:\lgtsvn. Install Inno Setup 5.1.11 (or a later version) and open the C:\lgtsvn\scripts\windows\logtalk.iss file. Rebuild the Windows GUI installer and run it to install the Logtalk development version.

3. Running Logtalk
