You need gcc version 2.0 or later to compile gforth. |

configure has the following useful parameters: |

|
--prefix=PREFIX install architecture-independent files in PREFIX |
| 9 : |
|
|
[default: /usr/local] |
| 10 : |
|
|
--exec-prefix=PREFIX install architecture-dependent files in PREFIX |
| 11 : |
|

[default: same as prefix] |
| 12 : |

|
--enable-force-reg Use explicit register declarations if they appear in |
| 13 : |
|
|
the machine.h file. This can cause a good speedup, |
| 14 : |
|
|
but also incorrect code with some gcc versions on |
| 15 : |
|
|
some processors (default disabled). |
| 16 : |
|
|
--enable-direct-threaded Force direct threading. This may not work on |
| 17 : |
|
|
some machines and may cause slowdown on others. |
| 18 : |
|
|
(default processor-dependent) |
| 19 : |
|
|
--enable-indirect-threaded Force indirect threading. This can cause a |
| 20 : |
|
|
slowdown on some machines. |
| 21 : |
|
|
(default processor-dependent) |
| 22 : |
|
|
--with-debug specifies option -g to compile with debug info (default) |
| 23 : |
|
|
--without-debug omits the -g switch and creates smaller images on |
| 24 : |
|
|
machines where strip has problems with gcc style |
| 25 : |
|
|
debugging informations. |
| 26 : |

--help: tells you about other parameters. |

If you don't like the defaults for the installation directories, you |
| 29 : |
|
|
should override them already during configure. E.g., if you want to |
| 30 : |
|
|
install in the /gnu hierarchy instead of in the default /usr/local |
| 31 : |
|
|
hirarchy, say |

After, configuration, type |

|
make |

If your make has trouble with the Makefile, "make gforth" might work. |

If your installed gcc isn't called "gcc" (e.g., called "gcc-2.6.1"), type |
| 42 : |

make GCC=<whatever you call your gcc> |

instead. |

Now you can check whether your shiny new Forth system works. Say |
| 48 : |
|
|
|
| 49 : |
|
|
make test |

To make the documentation, type |
| 52 : |
|
|
|
| 53 : |
|
|
make -k gforth.info gforth.ps html |
| 54 : |
anton
|

|
|
| 55 : |
|
|
If everything is allright, you may want to install gforth. Type |
| 56 : |
|
|
|
| 57 : |
|
|
make install |
| 58 : |
|
|
|
| 59 : |
anton

|
You have to make an entry in the info directory file manually. Also, |
| 60 : |
|
|
you have to install gforth.ps and html yourself. |
