I wanted to test GNU-Prolog under W2K, especially I wanted
to build an executable program.

After reading the manual, I tried

% gplc name.pl

-> 1st error: "could not find nasm"

I searched sourceforge.net and found the free assembler nasm.

Next try, 2nd error:

"error trying to execute cl /nologo ..."

What the hell is "cl"?
I guess it is an external C(?)-Compiler, but there isn't any hint
in the manual, that an external Compiler is needed to build standalones.

Is there anyone having experience with GNU-Prolog under W2k who can
help me to solve my problem?

Thanks in advance
Martin
