= ProMoT Frequently Asked Questions =

== How can I run ProMoT using Windows XP/Vista? ==

The preferred file to start ProMoT is promot.bat. It starts both the Kernel and the GUI. 
You could also start both parts separately (using promot-server.bat and promot-gui.bat respectively). [[BR]]
The file promot.exe is only used to start the lisp image promot.dxl and will be implicitly called by promot.bat.

== How can I install ProMoT from source? ==

First for compiling the Lisp sources you will need [http://www.franz.com/products/allegrocl/ Allegro Common Lisp 8.1]. [[BR]]
The free express version is not sufficient as it does not include the required CORBA middleware '''Orblink'''. [[BR]]
For the Java sources JDK 1.6.0 will be required.[[BR]]
The configuration is based on '''automake'''. You will need to run
 1. configure
 2. make
 3. make install

== On a 64-bit system I have installed ProMoT with 32-bit shared library and the 64-bit version of Diana. Will my simulation work? ==

Yes, ProMoT generates c++ files for your model, which are then
compiled using dianac (Diana compiler based on g++/gcc) and simulated with Diana (python). [[BR]]
ProMoT and Diana are independent programs.

== I have found a bug, where do I report it? ==

You can create a new ticket in the [http://promottrac.mpi-magdeburg.mpg.de/trac/newticket ProMoT ticket system].
