Great! Thanks!

I get the following when compiling on AMD64 PC:

sh: --silent: command not found

Looks like you have no libtool installed.

However, even installing libtool did not change anything:
sh: --silent: command not found

in file included from *OS command line*:-1
libffi.fs:153: libtool compile failed
>>>end-c-library<<<
Backtrace:
$2B46998E7988 throw
$2B4699923138 c(abort")

Re-./configure && make should fix that.

Still did not help:
gforth-0.6.9-20080716/lib/gforth/0.6.9-20080716/libcc-named/fflib.c:
2:20: error: avcall.h: No such file or directory
gforth-0.6.9-20080716/lib/gforth/0.6.9-20080716/libcc-named/fflib.c:
3:22: error: callback.h: No such file or directory

and so on due to he absence of ffcall

However INSTALL files says that I do not have to have ffcall, libffi
is enough:
For the (undocumented ) lib.fs C interface you need to install
*either*
the ffcall libraries or the libffi library.

Documentation error?

Thanks!

I have also noted this:

you should see this first.
you should see this later.

Is that expected?

No. You can ignore the messages above. In the long run we should not
test whether ffcall.fs works if the ffcall libraries are not present.
