Simile source code now available on GitHub
Simile will build with 'make' on Linux, Windows and MacOS. On Windows we recommend the Msys2 MinGW64 environment. Otherwise, use a regular shell.
Simile needs other components to build and run, as listed in the simile.spec and debian/control files. On Linux, these should be provided by your distribution's package manager -- if not, try to find them elsewhere. On MacOS, they can be installed using MacPorts. On Widows in Msys2, they can be installed using Pacman.
The tricky one is likely to be GNU-Prolog, which is needed for building. This can be built and installed from its own Github at didoudiaz/gprolog. It is also possible to build Simile with SWI-Prolog which has reduced performance but is better for debugging.
Once the make is complete, the script at System/bin/simile will start the tool. 'make install' will install to standard places. Note this is not the same as the pre-built binary packages, which are bundled with some of the required components.
