I smell success with the second one... you are
very close I think... keep tweaking!

and

/usr/doc/gprolog-1.5.0/examples/ExamplesPl$ gplc
--fast-math --min-bips -o boyer boyer.pl -L /usr/lib64/

and it still complains:

"cannot locate file libbips_fd.a"

The contents of that directory:

ls -l /usr/lib64/libbi*.a

Try

gplc

It's
been a while but I think I linked SDL2 like
that, actually, here's a link to the code:

https://github.com/emacstheviking/gnuprolog-libsdl2

Here's how I built
my executable...

gplc \
-C -I/Library/Frameworks/SDL2.framework/Headers \
-C -I/Library/Frameworks/SDL2_ttf.framework/Headers \
-C -I/Library/Frameworks/SDL2_mixer.framework/Headers \
-C -I/Library/Frameworks/SDL2_image.framework/Headers \
-L -framework SDL2 -L -framework SDL2_ttf -L -framework \
SDL2_image -L -framework SDL2_mixer -o sdltest \
sdl-ffi.pl sdl.pl sdl_lib.c sdl_thread.c sdl_ttf.c sdl_mixer.c

Hope that helps, GNU Prolog is a
sweet little thing!

:D

How do one ensure that the compiler
find the libraries? I have them in
/usr/lib64. I can't find a setting to tell
the compiler where to look.
