| 5 : | anton | 1.1 | This file discribes how to install Gforth from a binary distribution |
| 6 : | (i.e., a distribution, where the package file name contains a | ||
| 7 : | machine/OS name). | ||
| 8 : | |||
| 9 : | Installation is quite simple: Type | ||
| 10 : | |||
| 11 : | make install | ||
| 12 : | |||
| 13 : | and you are set. You can | ||
| 14 : | |||
| 15 : | anton | 1.2 | make check |
| 16 : | anton | 1.1 | make bench |
| 17 : | |||
| 18 : | first, to make sure that the binary works. | ||
| 19 : | |||
| 20 : | If you want to know more: A binary distribution contains all the files | ||
| 21 : | of the source distribution, and a few more, in particular the | ||
| 22 : | executable `gforth'. The configuration options we used for creating it | ||
| 23 : | can be seen in config.status. Basically, we use the default; among | ||
| 24 : | other things, this means installation in the /usr/local hierarchy; if | ||
| 25 : | this does not suit you, "make distclean" and continue by reading | ||
| 26 : | INSTALL. | ||
| 27 : | |||
| 28 : | The only deviation from the default is with respect to options like | ||
| 29 : | --enable-force-reg, which by default are not used, because they don't | ||
| 30 : | work with all versions of gcc; we use them, if they work with the | ||
| 31 : | compiler we use. We try to give you good performance, but two | ||
| 32 : | compatible machines may require different options for best performance | ||
| 33 : | (e.g., --enable-direct-threading is good for the 486, and bad for the | ||
| 34 : | Pentium). |
