Annotation of gforth/INSTALL.BINDIST, revision 1.1

1.1     ! anton       1: This file discribes how to install Gforth from a binary distribution
        !             2: (i.e., a distribution, where the package file name contains a
        !             3: machine/OS name).
        !             4: 
        !             5: Installation is quite simple: Type
        !             6: 
        !             7: make install
        !             8: 
        !             9: and you are set. You can
        !            10: 
        !            11: make test
        !            12: make bench
        !            13: 
        !            14: first, to make sure that the binary works.
        !            15: 
        !            16: If you want to know more: A binary distribution contains all the files
        !            17: of the source distribution, and a few more, in particular the
        !            18: executable `gforth'. The configuration options we used for creating it
        !            19: can be seen in config.status. Basically, we use the default; among
        !            20: other things, this means installation in the /usr/local hierarchy; if
        !            21: this does not suit you, "make distclean" and continue by reading
        !            22: INSTALL.
        !            23: 
        !            24: The only deviation from the default is with respect to options like
        !            25: --enable-force-reg, which by default are not used, because they don't
        !            26: work with all versions of gcc; we use them, if they work with the
        !            27: compiler we use. We try to give you good performance, but two
        !            28: compatible machines may require different options for best performance
        !            29: (e.g., --enable-direct-threading is good for the 486, and bad for the
        !            30: Pentium).
