SWI-Prolog as an embedded application in VS2008 C++

- by H.J. Miri

I have a C++ application (prog.sln) which is my main program and I want to use Prolog as an embedded logic server (hanoi.pl) int main(int argc, char** argv) { putenv( "SWI_HOME_DIR=C:\\Program Files\\pl" ); argv[0] = "libpl.dll"; argv[1] = "-x"; argv[2] = "hanoi.pl"; argv[3] = NULL; PL_initialise(argc, argv); { fid_t fid = PL_open_foreign_frame(); predicate_t pred = PL_predicate( "hanoi", 1, "user" ); int rval = PL_call_predicate( NULL, PL_Q_NORMAL, pred, 3 ); qid_t qid = PL_open_query( NULL, PL_Q_NORMAL, pred, 3 ); while ( PL_next_solution(qid) ) return qid; PL_close_query(qid); PL_close_foreign_frame(fid); system("PAUSE"); } return 1; system("PAUSE"); } Here is my Prolog source code: :- use_module( library(shlib) ). hanoi( N ):- move( N, left, center, right ). move( 0, _, _, _ ):- !. move( N, A, B, C ):- M is N-1, move( M, A, C, B ), inform( A, B ), move( M, C, B, A ). inform( X, Y ):- write( 'move a disk from ' ), write( X ), write( ' to ' ), write( Y ), nl. I type at the command: plld -o hanoi prog.sln hanoi.pl But it doesn't compile. When I run my C++ app, it says: Undefined procedure: hanoi/1 What is missing/wrong in my code or at the prompt that prevents my C++ app from consulting Prolog? Appreciate any help/pointer.

plld Prolog C++

- by H.J. Miri

I have a large Prolog program with lots of predicates. I need to connect to this Prolog code from C++ (VS2008) to obtain certain query results. So I am not trying to embed Prolog in C++ as a logicasl engine, but for my C++ program to connect to my Prolog code, consult (compile) it, obtain query results, and pass them back to C++. Running the following command at the VS2008 Command Prompt generates so many errors: plld -o myprog.exe mycpp.cpp mypl.pl Is there any way I can get my C++ program to consult my Prolog program, by including a command or makefile, etc...? I am aware that if you use VS2008, you are better off not using plld, so I am trying to include everything in one master C++ program, then press F5 to build and compile, and then call Prolog, then C++, and so on... Cheers,

VS2008 adding pl\bin to %PATH%

- by H.J. Miri

Guys, How do I add: pl\bin to my VS2008 PATH? I read in a forum post: . . . ensure pl\bin is in %PATH% But I can't seem to find such an option in my VS2008 Project Properties, etc... Thanks,

Minidlna Directory Issues

- by Somnambulist

I've done my searching and can't find an answer to THIS specific issue. I have my minidlna set up and running - but it's not really done properly. First off, when I open the server on my bluray player, all of my movies are listed twice - when they are certainly not saved on my external twice. Second, when I open the server - rather than reading "Movies" "TV" "Music", etc - It just mashes all of my movies, tv, and some other folders all together with no real organization. I never had this problem when I had my Windows set up, so I know it's something configured improperly more-so than my external drive giving me gruff. Here's my minidlna.conf file: # This is the configuration file for the MiniDLNA daemon, a DLNA/UPnP-AV media # server. # # Unless otherwise noted, the commented out options show their default value. # # On Debian, you can also refer to the minidlna.conf(5) man page for # documentation about this file. media_dir=/media/somnambulist/Ghost In You # This option can be specified more than once if you want multiple directories # scanned. # # If you want to restrict a media_dir to a specific content type, you can # prepend the directory name with a letter representing the type (A, P or V), # followed by a comma, as so: # * "A" for audio (eg. media_dir=A,/var/lib/minidlna/music) # * "P" for pictures (eg. media_dir=P,/var/lib/minidlna/pictures) # * "V" for video (eg. media_dir=V,/var/lib/minidlna/videos) # # WARNING: After changing this option, you need to rebuild the database. Either # run minidlna with the '-R' option, or delete the 'files.db' file # from the db_dir directory (see below). # On Debian, you can run, as root, 'service minidlna force-reload' instead. #media_dir=/var/lib/minidlna media_dir=V,/media/somnambulist/Ghost In You/Movies media_dir=V,/media/somnambulist/Ghost In You/TV media_dir=P,/home/somnambulist/Pictures # Path to the directory that should hold the database and album art cache. db_dir=/home/somnambulist/serverart # Path to the directory that should hold the log file. log_dir=/home/somnambulist/serverlog # Minimum level of importance of messages to be logged. # Must be one of "off", "fatal", "error", "warn", "info" or "debug". # "off" turns of logging entirely, "fatal" is the highest level of importance # and "debug" the lowest. #log_level=warn # Use a different container as the root of the directory tree presented to # clients.

Thanks in advance for any help.
