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

 configure  ./configure
   
 configure has the following useful parameters:  configure has the following useful parameters:
 -direct-threaded: setup for a direct threaded interpreter; this is faster    --prefix=PREFIX         install architecture-independent files in PREFIX
    on many machines, but needs special support. Unsupported machines will                            [default: /usr/local]
    ingore this switch. On some CISC machines, direct threading isn't an    --exec-prefix=PREFIX    install architecture-dependent files in PREFIX
    advantage over indirect threading.                            [default: same as prefix]
     --enable-force-reg      Use explicit register declarations if they appear in
                             the machine.h file. This can cause a good speedup,
                             but also incorrect code with some gcc versions on
                             some processors (default disabled).
     --enable-direct-threaded      Force direct threading. This may not work on
                                   some machines and may cause slowdown on others.
                                   (default processor-dependent)
     --enable-indirect-threaded    Force indirect threading. This can cause a
                                   slowdown on some machines.
                                   (default processor-dependent)
     --with-debug     specifies option -g to compile with debug info (default)
      --without-debug  omits the -g switch and creates smaller images on
                       machines where strip has problems with gcc style
                       debugging informations.
     --help: tells you about other parameters.
   
   If you don't like the defaults for the installation directories, you
   should override them already during configure.  E.g., if you want to
   install in the /gnu hierarchy instead of in the default /usr/local
   hirarchy, say
   
 -without-debug: omits the -g switch and creates smaller images on machines  ./configure --prefix=/gnu
    where "strip" has problems with gcc style debugging informations.  
   
 --help: tells you about other parameters.  After, configuration, type
   
 Now type  
   
 make  make
   
 If your make has trouble with the Makefile, "make gforth" might work.  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  If your installed gcc isn't called "gcc" (e.g., called "gcc-2.6.1"), type
   
 make CC=<whatever you call your gcc>  make GCC=<whatever you call your gcc>
   
 instead.  instead.
   
   Now you can check whether your shiny new Forth system works. Say
   
   make test
   
 To make the documentation, type  To make the documentation, type
   
 make -k gforth.info gforth.ps html  make -k gforth.info gforth.ps html
   
   If everything is allright, you may want to install gforth. Type
   
   make install
   
   You have to make an entry in the info directory file manually. Also,
   you have to install gforth.ps and html yourself.
