Re: gprolog on WinCE?

[Daniel Diaz]

Hi Mike, I answer here since I also saw your post in the mailing list.

GNU Prolog is not currently ported under asm/Linux (nor WinCE). I don't
know this processor so I cannot tell you how much work such a porting
requires. If you (and/or other people) are interested in doing this port
I can obviously help you. You can see the file src/PORTING for
preliminar info. Since GNU Prolog tanslates Prolog to native code via
assembly language it is preferable you are familiar with the processor
architecture, assembly language, ABI,... Most of this information can be
found on the net and/or infered looking at the asm code produced by gcc.
Obviously I'd be interested in integrating a good port. Please keep me
informed.
