- Very preliminary version
+ Preliminary version
  You need gcc version 2.0 or later to compile gforth.
+ First, type
- Create a machine description file for your machine, if necessary.
+ configure
- Make a symbolic link to machine.h, e.g.
+ configure has the following useful parameters:
+ -direct-threaded: setup for a direct threaded interpreter; this is faster
+    on many machines, but needs special support. Unsupported machines will
+    ingore this switch. On some CISC machines, direct threading isn't an
+    advantage over indirect threading.
- ln -s decstation.h machine.h
+ -without-debug: omits the -g switch and creates smaller images on machines
+    where "strip" has problems with gcc style debugging informations.
- Make a symbolic link from mach32l.fs or mach32b.fs to machine.fs
+ --help: tells you about other parameters.
- Edit the Makefile (in particular the SWITCHES variable)
+ Now type
- Now you can type
  make
+ If your make has trouble with the Makefile, "make gforth" might work.
+ If your installed gcc isn't called "gcc" (eg. called "gcc-2.6.1"), type
+ make CC=<whatever you call your gcc>
+ instead.
