Unable to Compile on macOS

[greg-gelfond]

Hello, I'm attempting to get started with Attempto but am running into issues with getting the project to build from source. On running the command:

bash make_exe.sh

I have the following output:

Looking for command 'swipl'...

The command 'swipl' did not work. Let's try 'pl'...

    and writes ASCII PL to stdout (or file if -output)

Error: SWI Prolog not found

This is somewhat odd however, since I do have SWI-Prolog installed via homebrew, and it's in my path:

swipl --version
SWI-Prolog version 9.0.4 for arm64-darwin

I'm not quite sure how to proceed at this point and any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

There were some updates to the build script 5 years ago. Also, make_exe.sh was removed then (in https://github.com/Attempto/APE/commit/00fb91d476a90b665b392ed042e464c76df5db76).

Can you try the latest version?

That seemed to work. I was then able to copy the compiled executable to /opt/local/bin and run it from there as well so I seem to be good to go.
