Moreover, if your GCC is not called gcc (but, e.g., gcc-2.7.1), you |
|
should say so during configuration. E.g.: |
|
|
make |
env CC=gcc-2.7.1 ./configure |
|
|
If your make has trouble with the Makefile, "make gforth" might work. |
You can also pass additional options to gcc in this way, e.g., if you |
|
want to generate an a.out executable under Linux with gcc-2.7.0: |

If your installed gcc isn't called "gcc" (e.g., called "gcc-2.6.1"), type |

|
Preloading installation-specific code |
|
|
|
If you want to have some installation-specific files loaded when |
|
Gforth starts (e.g., an assembler for your processor), put commands |
|
for loading them into /usr/local/share/gforth/site-forth/site-init.fs |
|
(if the commands work for all architectures) or |
|
/usr/local/lib/gforth/site-forth/site-init.fs (for |
|
architecture-specific commands); |
|
/usr/local/lib/gforth/site-forth/site-init.fs takes precedence if both |
|
files are present (unless you change the search path). The file names |
|
given above are the defaults; if you have changed the prefix, you have |
|
to replace "/usr/local" in these names with your prefix. |
|
|
|
By default, the installation procedure creates an empty |
|
/usr/local/share/gforth/site-forth/site-init.fs if there is no such |
|
file. |
|
|
|
If you change the site-init.fs file, you should run "make install" |
|
again for the changes to take effect (Actually, the part of "make |
|
install" starting with "rm gforth.fi" is sufficient). |

2) "%s: Checksum of image ($13579b) does not match the executable ($2468a) |
|
The Gforth installer should look into the INSTALL file" |
|
|
|
A fixed-address image is not only fixed with respect to its base |
|
address, but also with respect to certain addresses in the gforth |
|
executable and the threading method. These things are encoded in a |
|
checksum. |
|
|
|
If the checksum of the executable and the checksum of the image are |
|
not equal, you get the message above. This can be caused, e.g., by |
|
trying to run an image produced for a direct threading system on an |
|
indirect threaded system. |
|
|
|
Chances are that you unintentionally tried to execute an image from |
|
the wrong directory. As a remedy, you can determine Gforth's search |
|
path with the "-p" command line option and with the GFORTHPATH |
|
environment variable. |
|
|
|
On the other hand, if you need to solve the problem by creating a new |
|
fixed-address image, you can use the steps described above. |
