Hello GForth experts,

I have inherited a 'hand-me-down' Dual G5 from my wife, the graphic
designer (ellyfox.com). I of course had to install the newest Xcode
tools for the Leopard version of OS/X. And of course I don't know
very much about C. I have built GForth in the past using the command
line. (Even I can type 'make' :-) )

So, I think... wouldn't it be neat if I could build GForth with Xcode
(uses GCC 4.0) . So I did my best to put the appropriate files into
an Apple 'Standard Tool' project, which builds a command line app in
C.

I removed all "Arch" folder files except the ones for Power PC and 386
and here are the errors I get from file strerror.c :

#include
#include
extern char *sys_errlist[];
error: conflicting types for 'sys_errlist'

extern int sys_nerr;
error: conflicting type qualifiers for 'sys_nerr'
< end errors>

The easy way is to install Fink (http://www.finkproject.org/). That's a
Unix open source software importation system for MacOSX. Then just "fink
install gforth" from the command line.

Brian, the warnings are typical, but the errors are a problem (I suspect).

I haven't updated to Leopard yet, nor have I tried to do it on a G5 in
quite a while, but the gforth TOT on CVS works fine on my PowerBook G4
with Tiger and the following gcc:

powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5370)

Which gforth are you trying to compile?

DaR

Thanks for the reply Dennis. Here is the welcome screen from the
version I have when I compile from the terminal command line

Gforth 0.6.2, Copyright (C) 1995-2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Gforth comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `license'
Type `bye' to exit

So when you compiled it on your Powerbook, did you use Xcode?

ROFL - I got a hand me down too - I wish I could say I got me a
duallie G5 but the ibook will do - I spent most of last night trying
to build 0,6.2 on the G4 with GCC3.3 OS X 10.3.9.

I built ffcall 1.1 then proceeded to go for gforth...

I finally got 0.6.2 compiled with the long long switch

http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/Known-problems.html

It runs, it links to ffcall dynamically but there are a few issues I
have yet to sit down and figure out ie the word see seems to crash the
system.

Robert, I have been running gforth on G3/4/5 systems for years. You
found one of the issues with 0.6.2. There are others, but I don't
remember what they were at the moment. Anton and I worked most...
