Topic: [isabelle] Isabelle2009 in Cygwin

Hello all,

after having extracted Isabelle2009 to /usr/local I called my script in
CygWin

bash --login -i -c /home/Jens/.isabelle

where .isabelle contains

/usr/local/Isabelle/bin/isabelle emacs -p xemacs

Now PG started, but the buttons do not work and the menu item "Next.Step"
yields

Unknown logic "HOL" -- no heap file found in:
/home/Jens/.isabelle/heaps/Isabelle2009/polyml-5.2_x86-cygwin
/usr/local/Isabelle2009/heaps/polyml-5.2_x86-cygwin

Everything else is like in Isabelle2008. What can be wrong?

Using /home/Jens/.isabelle is a bit odd in general and in Isabelle2009
$HOME/.isabelle is now the ISABELLE_HOME_USER directory per default. So
strange effects can be anticipated, although the present problem probably
stems from somewhere else.

Since option -c of bash accepts a command line script, you can do it
directly like this:

bash --login -i -c "/usr/local/Isabelle/bin/isabelle emacs -p xemacs"

Note that without starting X11 first (e.g. via startxwin.sh), you will not
be able to use XEmacs with X-Symbol mode.

I've tried this myself on an older Cygwin installation that was updated
via "setup". Here Proof General with XEmacs 21.4.22 failed completely,
due to strange autoload problems.

On a fresh install of Cygwin, everything worked as described on
http://isabelle.in.tum.de/installation.html

(When discarding a Cygwin installation you normally want to preserve your
/home and probably also /use/local stuff.)

and the menu item "Next.Step" yields

This looks like you did not update Poly/ML, which is 5.2.1 in
Isabelle2009. With the install location directly in /usr/local you will
get need some extra care, if you want to preserve Isabelle2008. Multiple
versions work better if extra components are put into Isabelle/contrib/
with the following directory layout:

/usr/local/Isabelle2009
/usr/local/Isabelle2009/contrib/polyml -> polyml-5.2.1
/usr/local/Isabelle2009/contrib/polyml-5.2.1
/usr/local/Isabelle2009/contrib/ProofGeneral -> ProofGeneral-3.7.1
/usr/local/Isabelle2009/contrib/ProofGeneral-3.7.1

etc.
