(see Section Configuration Options below for details). |

After configuration, type |

Now you can check whether your shiny new Forth system works. Say |
| |
|
| |
make test |
| |
|
| |
You can run some benchmarks with |
| |
|
| |
make bench |
| |
|
| |
and compare them with the results in Benchres and in the manual. |
| |
|
| |
If everything is all right, you may want to install gforth. Type |
| |
|
| |
make install |
| |
|
| |
You have to make an entry in the info directory file manually. |
| |
|
| |
For paper documentation, print gforth.ps (a Postscript file (300dpi |
| |
fonts, i.e., it works, but does not produce best quality on better |
| |
printers)), or say |
| |
|
| |
make gforth.dvi |
| |
|
| |
and print the resulting file gforth.dvi. You can also get the |
| |
documentation in HTML format by typing |
| |
|
| |
make html |
| |
|
| |
If you prefer plain ASCII documentation, just concatenate the files |
| |
gforth.info-* ('cat gforth.info-*' under Unix). |

Configuration Options |

You can build in a directory different from the source directory by |
| |
changing to the build directory and invoking configure thus: |
| |
|
| |
$srcdir/configure |
| |
|
| |
where $srcdir is the source directory (Note that we tested this only |
| |
for installation; i.e., if you want to hack the Gforth sources, you |
| |
should probably build in the source directory). |
| |
|
