[Yap-users] Fw: help with getting YAP to work with Ubuntu 14 or Windows 8.1?

[Ashmore, L. <Lil...@bc...>]

?Hello!


I'm desperately trying to compile my aleph.pl file with the Yap compiler on EITHER Ubuntu 14 LTS or Windows 8.1 Pro. I have not succeeded in either so far. I followed the instructions for installation for Ubuntu from the README as below, and it fails on the configure step (loads of errors). I tried to make it anyway, and it halts at yap.o. An executable is never created so I cannot ./yap, etc.


To compile YAP just do:
 (1) mkdir arch
 (2) cd arch
 (3) ../configure
 (4) check the Makefile for any extensions or changes you want to make.
 (5) make
 (6) If the compilation succeeds, try ./yap
 (7) Happy? make install



And for Windows 8.1, I downloaded an installer from here (http://www.dcc.fc.up.pt/~vsc/Yap/downloads.html), and it installed, but I have a folder with a bunch of .dlls and a /bin /doc /share folder with loads of stuff, but I don't know how to actually use anything to compile a aleph.pl script. When I execute "yap -s5000 -h20000 'filepath.pl' ", it errors because I have another "YAP" application called Yet Another Previewer, which the cmd.exe recognizes as "yap" which comes with the basic installation for MikTex (Latex for Windows).



Any help for either OS would be really amazing. I really want to explore hypothesis generation for my research in graduate school.



Thanks so much!
