Dear SWI-Prolog user, The 9.1.12 was a bit of a deception as the binary releases failed on most systems due to configuration issues with the new Python binding. This is a retry. If all goes well library(janus) should be in the Linux PPAs, except for bionic (but including lunar), the Windows 64 bit installer, the MacOS Macports version and teh Docker image. Cheers — Jan # SWI-Prolog Changelog since version 9.1.12 - FIXED: Pass check/0 dependency check if tty\_size/2 is not defined. - PORT: When using Macports for dependencies, set the cmake FrameWork search path - PORT: Disable swipy (janus) if CMake is older than 3.18. ## Package debian - ADDED: dependency on Python itself. Although a dependency on libpython3-dev is good enough, cmake cannot find the Python conponents without Python. ## Package clib - PORT: Proper ip6 support detection for FreeBSD ## Package swipl-win - PORT: Updated cmake compatibility to \> 3.5 ## Package swipy - FIXED: py\_iter/2,3 synchronization Thes predicates did not use the functions that lazily initializes Python, take and release the GIL. - PORT: Allow using `python3.dll` on Windows This patch detects the presense of `python3.dll` next to `python3xx.dll` on Windows and, when found uses this dll and builds the interface based only on what is in `python3.dll`. See janus/janus.c comment regarding `PYTHON3_COMPAT` for details. - PORT: Windows: make the Python package janus compile and load. - PORT: Make janus.c using the MSVC compiler. MSVC is the default compiler required by the pip version shipped with the default Windows installers. - ENHANCED: Improve the Python package Makes the setup more reliable, allow using janus.pl from the Python package, allow embedded SWI-Prolog to load extensions and properly sets up interactive Prolog usage in prolog() - ADDED: `setup.py`, turning the repo into an installable Python package This commit reorganises the code such that it both works for embedding Python in Prolog and Prolog in Python. It also adds more documentation. - PORT: Support CMake as of 3.16, provided by Ubuntu bionic - PORT: Fix for Python \< 3.8 ---

Works fine here. Possibly you had some bad luck that the one backend already had the link and the other not yet the file. Please try again. ---

Excuse me @jan but, beside the fact that for the moment I think I’ll stay with version 9.1.12 with all the mess I had to go through yesterday and also on Saturday to make it work, but the version 9.1.13 is not yet available on Macports, right? Or am I doing something wrong? Because if i write `port search swi-prolog` on the terminal window I get this output: ```prolog marco@MacBookoBachini ~ % port search swi-prolog swi-prolog @9.0.4 (lang) SWI-Prolog compiler plus extra packages (stable version) swi-prolog-devel @9.1.11 (lang) SWI-Prolog compiler plus extra packages (development version) Found 2 ports. ``` ---

> [@anon419083](#): > > version 9.1.13 is not yet available on Macports, right? I’ve submitted a PR to Macports and got an acceptance message a few minutes ago. I don’t know how long it takes to be available in `port` from there. As for a source build, if you downloaded the sources by cloning the GIT repo, updating to the latest version is really easy: ``` git pull git submodule update --init cd build (or whatever build directory you used) ninja (and, optionally) [sudo] ninja install ``` This works 99% of the cases and is fast because it only recompiles the things that changed. If you upgraded Xcode or Macports significantly, you sometimes have to clean the build directory, run `cmake -G Ninja ..` again to build. I normally do the above first. If there are failures and I updated Xcode and/or Macports, I do the clean and hope the problems are gone 🙂
