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 |
env "CC=gcc -b i486-linuxaout -V 2.7.0" ./configure |
|
|
make GCC=<whatever you call your gcc> |

You can run some benchmarks with |

you have to install gforth.ps and html yourself. |
|
|
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 |

|
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). |
|
|
|
|
|
Multiple Versions and Deinstallation |
|
|
|
Several versions of Gforth can be installed and used at the same |
|
time. Version `foo' can be invoked with `gforth-foo'. We recommend to |
|
keep the old version for some time after a new one has been installed. |
|
|
|
You can deinstall this version of Gforth with 'make uninstall' and |
|
version foo with 'make uninstall VERSION=foo'. 'make uninstall' also |
|
tells you how to uninstall Gforth completely. |
