Getting and Installing html.pl

The latest version of the Prolog HTML package is available via anonymous ftp from the CLIP ftp server. To install simply uncompress and untar the distribution in a convenient directory. Then edit the options in Makefile to suit your system. In particular, copy the files in the images directory to an accessible directory in your server and change

ICONDIR=http://www.clip.dia.fi.upm.es/images/
to point to this directory (if you cannot do that, bear in mind that these images will have to travel from Spain, Europe!). Also, if you will be generating cgi-bin executables (as explained in this node, only available in some systems) change
CGIBINDIR=/usr/local/etc/httpd/cgi-bin/
to point to a cgi-bin-type directory where you have write access. Finally, change SYSTEM to the Prolog system you will be using (if your system is not listed, perhaps you can make a compatibility file c_*.pl for it, providing the necessary support predicates. If you do so, please send us the changes!). Now, run ``make html.pl''. If your OS does not have ``make'', then manually produce html.pl from html0.pl and the appropriate c_*.pl compatibility file, changing <ICONDIR> and <CGIBINDIR> in the code to the correct values.

Versions of this manual in ``.dvi'', ``.ps'', and `` .html'' formats are provided in the distribution in the doc directory.
