Quick-Start

Assuming the Emacs interface for SICStus Prolog has been installed in the default location, inserting a single line in your ~/.emacs will make Emacs use the SICStus Prolog mode automatically when editing files with a .pl extension. It will also ensure Emacs can find the SICStus executables and on-line documentation, etc.

Note to Windows users: ~/.emacs denotes a file .emacs in whatever Emacs considers to be your home directory. See GNU Emacs FAQ For Windows 98/ME/NT/XP and 2000 at http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ntemacs.html, for details.

Under UNIX, assuming SICStus 3.11.0 was installed in /usr/local/, add the following line:

     (load-file "/usr/local/lib/sicstus-3.11.0/emacs/sicstus_emacs_init")
     

Under Windows, assuming SICStus 3.11.0 was installer in C:\Program Files\SICStus Prolog 3.11.0\, add the following line:

     (load-file "C:/Program Files/SICStus Prolog 3.11.0/emacs/sicstus_emacs_init")
     

No other configuration should be needed to get started. If you want to customize things, look in the sictus_emacs_init.el file and the rest of this section.
