| 1 : | pazsan | 1.5 | MS-DOS: |
| 2 : | |||
| 3 : | pazsan | 1.2 | You need DJ Delorie's port of GCC to DOS (DJGPP 2.0) to compile |
| 4 : | Gforth. DJGPP provides a DPMI client that allows to use the 32-bit | ||
| 5 : | features of the 80386, but on the other hand it requires at least a | ||
| 6 : | 386. A DPMI host is also part of the DJGPP 2.0 package, this is | ||
| 7 : | required if you don't have a DPMI host yourself (Windows/OS/2/Linux | ||
| 8 : | DOS-box, Quemm or others). | ||
| 9 : | pazsan | 1.1 | |
| 10 : | pazsan | 1.7 | First run |
| 11 : | |||
| 12 : | config | ||
| 13 : | |||
| 14 : | config has the following useful parameters: | ||
| 15 : | --enable-force-reg Use explicit register declarations if they appear in | ||
| 16 : | the machine.h file. This can cause a good speedup, | ||
| 17 : | but also incorrect code with some gcc versions on | ||
| 18 : | some processors (default disabled). | ||
| 19 : | --enable-direct-threaded Force direct threading. This may not work on | ||
| 20 : | some machines and may cause slowdown on others. | ||
| 21 : | (default disabled) | ||
| 22 : | --enable-indirect-threaded Force indirect threading. This can cause a | ||
| 23 : | slowdown on some machines. | ||
| 24 : | (default enabled) | ||
| 25 : | |||
| 26 : | pazsan | 1.5 | OS/2: |
| 27 : | |||
| 28 : | You need EMX 0.9c to compile Gforth. The EMX package provides all | ||
| 29 : | necessary Unix-like tools, tty and signal handling. | ||
| 30 : | |||
| 31 : | pazsan | 1.6 | Windows 95/Windows NT: |
| 32 : | |||
| 33 : | You need the Cygnus Win32 package. This package currently is only in | ||
| 34 : | beta test, so expect bugs and quirks. | ||
| 35 : | |||
| 36 : | If you don't want to install the DJGPP, CYGWIN32 or EMX package (quite | ||
| 37 : | large), look for a binary distribution of Gforth for DOS, Win32 or | ||
| 38 : | pazsan | 1.7 | OS/2. |
| 39 : | |||
| 40 : | You also must have a version of GNU make, because DOS/Win32/OS/2 make | ||
| 41 : | programs are likely to have problems with the Makefile. If you want to | ||
| 42 : | change Gforth, you may need GNU m4, too. Because DJGPP provides some | ||
| 43 : | use of long filenames under Windows 95, you should unpack the gforth | ||
| 44 : | package with a Windows-95-aware archiver (those from DJGPP or the | ||
| 45 : | Cygnus Win32-package come in mind), because otherwise gforth will not | ||
| 46 : | find the necessary files. With MS-DOS versions prior 7.0 or DR-DOS, | ||
| 47 : | these names are cut due to the 8.3 rule. This might confuse DJGPP | ||
| 48 : | 2.0's make, you could use DJGPP 1.x's make instead. Gforth 0.4.0 | ||
| 49 : | pazsan | 1.6 | hasn't been compiled with a MS-DOS prior 7.0. |
| 50 : | pazsan | 1.5 | |
| 51 : | Compiling under DOS or OS/2 has a number of quirks, and if it doesn't | ||
| 52 : | compile out of the box, you should know what you do. I therefore | ||
| 53 : | pazsan | 1.6 | discourage unexperienced users to compile gforth themselves. There's a |
| 54 : | pazsan | 1.5 | binary package for it anyway. |
| 55 : | pazsan | 1.1 | |
| 56 : | pazsan | 1.6 | Compiling using CygWin32 works a bit better, but there are still |
| 57 : | quirks. The package allows to "mount" Windows directories under | ||
| 58 : | typical unix locations. E.g. I installed the package in E:\cygnus, and | ||
| 59 : | then I mount /usr, /usr/local and /bin with | ||
| 60 : | |||
| 61 : | ./mount e:/cygnus /usr | ||
| 62 : | ./mount e:/cygnus/H-i386-cygwin32 /usr/local | ||
| 63 : | ./mount e:/cygnus/H-i386-cygwin32/bin /bin | ||
| 64 : | |||
| 65 : | once. Each time I start CygWin32's bash, I set up the following variables: | ||
| 66 : | |||
| 67 : | export TMPDIR=/usr/tmp | ||
| 68 : | pazsan | 1.7 | export COMPILER_PATH=/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-cygwin32/cygnus-2.7.2-970404 |
| 69 : | pazsan | 1.6 | export LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib;/usr/local/lib" |
| 70 : | export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/i386-cygwin32/include | ||
| 71 : | export GCC_DEFAULT_OPTIONS="-specs=$COMPILER_PATH/specs" | ||
| 72 : | export PATH=/bin:.:$PATH | ||
| 73 : | |||
| 74 : | pazsan | 1.7 | Write this into a script and source it in at each bash invocation, or |
| 75 : | put it into your .bashrc. | ||
| 76 : | pazsan | 1.6 | |
| 77 : | pazsan | 1.1 | If you don't bother and want to make it yourself, type |
| 78 : | |||
| 79 : | configure | ||
| 80 : | |||
| 81 : | pazsan | 1.2 | configure has the following useful parameters: |
| 82 : | --enable-force-reg Use explicit register declarations if they appear in | ||
| 83 : | the machine.h file. This can cause a good speedup, | ||
| 84 : | but also incorrect code with some gcc versions on | ||
| 85 : | some processors (default disabled). | ||
| 86 : | --enable-direct-threaded Force direct threading. This may not work on | ||
| 87 : | some machines and may cause slowdown on others. | ||
| 88 : | pazsan | 1.4 | (default disabled) |
| 89 : | pazsan | 1.2 | --enable-indirect-threaded Force indirect threading. This can cause a |
| 90 : | slowdown on some machines. | ||
| 91 : | pazsan | 1.4 | (default enabled) |
| 92 : | pazsan | 1.1 | |
| 93 : | After covering all inconveniences, type | ||
| 94 : | |||
| 95 : | make | ||
| 96 : | |||
| 97 : | Now you can check whether your shiny new Forth system works. Say | ||
| 98 : | |||
| 99 : | make test | ||
| 100 : | |||
| 101 : | You can run some benchmarks with | ||
| 102 : | |||
| 103 : | make bench | ||
| 104 : | |||
| 105 : | pazsan | 1.7 | and compare them with the results in Benchres and in the manual. DOS |
| 106 : | and OS/2 don't allow to run the benchmarks, since the command TIME | ||
| 107 : | means something different there. | ||
| 108 : | |||
| 109 : | Don't try to do "make install" there, it won't work, either. It is not | ||
| 110 : | possible to "make dist" or "make bindist", too, because of the | ||
| 111 : | limitations of DOS command lines. | ||
| 112 : | pazsan | 1.1 | |
| 113 : | Add the following entry to your Autoexec.bat: | ||
| 114 : | |||
| 115 : | pazsan | 1.3 | SET GFORTHPATH=<your gforth source directory>;. |
| 116 : | pazsan | 1.1 | |
| 117 : | pazsan | 1.3 | Use / instead of \ in your gforth source directory. Gforth now uses |
| 118 : | pazsan | 1.6 | ';' as path separator for DOS and OS/2 (not for Cygwin32), so you |
| 119 : | won't have problems with DOS pathes that may contain ':', which is the | ||
| 120 : | pazsan | 1.7 | default path separator in Unix. Use ~+ for the current directory. |
| 121 : | pazsan | 1.1 | |
| 122 : | For paper documentation, print gforth.ps (a Postscript file (300dpi | ||
| 123 : | fonts, i.e., it works, but does not produce best quality on better | ||
| 124 : | printers)), or say | ||
| 125 : | |||
| 126 : | make gforth.dvi | ||
| 127 : | |||
| 128 : | and print the resulting file gforth.dvi (you need TeX for that! But | ||
| 129 : | with TeX you can print it even if you don't have a Postscript printer | ||
| 130 : | pazsan | 1.5 | nor Ghostscript). You could be able to make a HTML version of the |
| 131 : | pazsan | 1.1 | document, but AFAIK there is no texi2html for DOS available, as there |
| 132 : | pazsan | 1.7 | is no perl available. You should get the HTML pages from the same |
| 133 : | location where you got Gforth or from | ||
| 134 : | |||
| 135 : | http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/ | ||
| 136 : | or | ||
| 137 : | ftp://ftp.complang.tuwien.ac.at/pub/forth/gforth/ |
