Re: [Yap-users] Obtaining YAPInterface.h file for C interface

[Gökhan S. <so...@it...>]

Thank you for the answer. Using MSYS2 I was able to build yap 6.3.0 from
source, with some additional changes to source code.

Changes I did were:

In Regs.h, line 590,

    #define H          Yap_REGS.H_    /* top of heap (global)
stack           */

was causing compile error:

   error: expected ‘:’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘}’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘=’ token

So I refactored *#define H* with *#define HEAD*. And I changed every
occurrence of *H *with *HEAD* in all *.c and *.h files under yap-source.
(Using Notepad++ replaced every ([^\d\w'])H([^\d\w']) with \1HEAD\2).

In blob.c, compile error was caused:

    stderr undeclared (first use in this function)

So I added #include <stdio.h>

Now I am able to run it from yap.exe, it seems to work properly so far.

Gökhan Solak
