This directory contains files used when building Windows GUI installers using Inno Setup 6.0.2 Unicode (or a later version):

http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php

The Inno Setup script, logtalk.iss, assumes that a checkout of the Logtalk repository exists in the `C:\lgt3git` directory.

The default location for the Logtalk system files installation when the `%LOGTALKHOME%` environment variable is not defined is:

  • For admin users installations:
    • `C:\Program Files (x86)\Logtalk` on 64-bit Windows
    • `C:\Program Files\Logtalk` on 32-bit Windows
  • For non-admin users installations:
    • `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Logtalk`

    The default location for the Logtalk user files installation when the `%LOGTALKUSER%` environment variable is not defined is:

  • `%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Logtalk This %LOGTALKUSER%` directory can be re-created by re-running the installer and choosing the corresponding installation option or by running the logtalk_user_setup.bat script.

    The installer creates integration shortcuts that start Logtalk in the `%LOGTALKUSER% directory. You can edit the building script and change the Start in` setting to `%CD%`. However, this works on Windows XP but is ignored on Windows 7.

    Note that the integration shortcuts are only created for the Prolog systems that are detected when running the installer. Most Prolog installers write entries in the Windows registry that are read by the Logtalk installer. Some Prolog systems, however, use environment variables. If a shortcut is not being created for a supported and installed Prolog compiler, possibly due to a non-standard install, check the registry and environment variable assumptions made by the installer.

    As Logtalk first looks at startup for a settings.lgt file in the current directory, in order to use a project-specific settings file, copy the desired shortcut to the project directory and use its path as the value of the `Start in` shortcut setting.

    The installer can be run in silent mode when executed at the command-line by using the option `/SILENT` (progress window is show) or `/VERYSILENT` (no progress window). Currently, the installer cannot be run in system context.

    The installation directory can be set at the command-line by using the option `/DIR=path` or by defining the value of the LOGTALKHOME environment variable prior to running the installer.
