sicstus) can be created using
% spld --main=prolog -o sicstus
This will create a development system that is dynamically linked and has no pre-linked foreign resources.
% spld --static -D --resources=random -o main -ltk8.0 -ltcl8.0
This will create a statically linked executable called main that
has the resource random pre-linked (statically). The linker
will receive -ltk8.0 -ltcl8.0, which will work under UNIX (if
Tcl/Tk is installed correctly) but will probably fail under Windows.

initializations in development systems before
SP_initialize() is called. It also demonstrates how to use this
mechanism to redefine the memory manager bottom layer.

This example is similar to the example in All-in-one Executables,
with the addition of a foreign resource of our own.
% foo.pl
:- use_module(library(system)).
:- use_module(library(clpfd)).
:- load_foreign_resource(bar).
% This will be called when the application starts:
user:runtime_entry(start) :-
%% You may consider putting some other code here...
write('hello world'),nl,
write('Getting host name:'),nl,
host_name(HostName), % from system
write(HostName),nl,
( all_different([3,9]) -> % from clpfd
write('3 != 9'),nl
; otherwise ->
write('3 = 9!?'),nl
),
'$pint'(4711). % from our own foreign resource 'bar'
% bar.pl
foreign(print_int, '$pint'(+integer)).
foreign_resource(bar, [print_int]).
/* bar.c */
#include <sicstus/sicstus.h>
#include <stdio.h>
extern void print_int(long a);
void print_int(long a)
{
printf("a=%lu\n", a);
}
To create the saved-state foo.sav we will compile the
file foo.pl and save it with save_program('foo.sav'). When
compiling the file the directive :-
load_foreign_resource(bar). is called so a dynamic foreign
resource must be present.
Thus, first we build a dynamic foreign resource.
% splfr bar.c bar.pl
Then we create the saved-state.
% sicstus --goal "compile(foo), save_program('foo.sav'), halt."
We also need a static foreign resource to embed in our all-in-one
executable.
% splfr --static bar.c bar.pl
Lastly we build the all-in-one executable with spld. We do not
need to list the foreign resources needed. spld will
extract their names from the .sav file. Adding the
--verbose option will make spld output lots of
progress information, among which are the names of the foreign
resources that are needed. Look for "Found resource name" in the
output.
% spld --verbose --static --main=restore --respath=. --resources=foo.sav=/mystuff/foo.sav --output=foo
In this case four foreign resource names are extracted from the
.sav file: bar, clpfd, random and
system. The source file foo.pl loads the foreign
resource named bar. Is also uses the system
module, which loads the foreign resource named
system, and the clpfd module, which loads the
foreign resources named clpfd and random.
By not listing foreign resources when running spld, we
avoid the risk of omitting a required resource.
