Hi Alois,

Are you still looking at this? From what I can gather from the website, it's 
actually an interpreter that can compile to native code for extra performance. 
There are several 32 and 64-bit windows binaries available (now at v1.4), so 
you are most likely better off using those.

If you do want to cross-compile it, I'd suggest asking on the gprolog list 
first - it doesn't seem like the sort of thing it's designed to do.

Cheers,

Tony
