Compiling on Unix

How to Compile pForth on Unix or Mac

We provide a simple Makefile for compiling.

Details

1. CD to "build/unix"
2. Enter: make all

This is a complete build. It will create an executable image and associated "pforth.dic" file in the "fth/" folder. You may need to remove the -C89 option from the Makefile if there are too many warnings.

It will also create a standalone executable image that includes the dictionary compiled inside. To run it enter:

./pforth_standalone

Testing

Enter: make test
