Converting Visual Prolog 5.2 Projects into Visual Prolog 5.1 Projects

Visual Prolog 5.2 build scripts differ from build scripts in previous versions. That is why, it is necessary to convert Visual Prolog 5.2 projects into Visual Prolog 5.1 format.

Be careful, while upgrading you Visual Prolog 5.1 projects into  Visual Prolog 5.2 projects, if you are going to return later to Visual Prolog 5.1. Please, read Caution.

How to Convert Visual Prolog 5.2 Projects into Visual Prolog 5.1 Projects?

To convert Visual Prolog 5.2 projects into Visual Prolog 5.1 projects, it is necessary:

  1. to use ..\BIN\...\VIPCONV.EXE
  2. to regenerate scripts

Regenerating of Default Scripts

The easiest way to do this, if your project includes default scripts, is to change the "Main Program" target setting in the Application Expert and to return to the previous setting again (e.g., Prolog -> MSVC++32bit -> Prolog). The default scripts will be regenerated. 

Regenerating of User Defined Scripts

If your project includes non-default scripts, you may use one of the following strategies:

Strategy 1.

  1. Save your scripts into temporary . TXT files.
  2. Regenerate default scripts in the way it was described above.
  3. Manually insert necessary changes into default scripts.

You can view and edit scripts by using the following VDE menu items:

Menu Item
Description
Options |Project |Make Options |Symbols  For viewing and editing symbols generated by the Application Expert.
Options |Project |Make Options |Rules  For viewing and editing scripts that determine the default conversion rules used for handling files with certain known extensions.
Options |Project |Make Options |Build Script  For viewing and editing scripts   for command lines that must be executed by the VDE while building a project.

Strategy 2.

Manually change scripts by deleting quotation marks surrounding filenames and paths.
