Hi group !

what is the best solution tu run intellasys seaforth emulator on eeepc
(xandros linux) ?

allbeit intellasys provides 3 flavours of the simulator (gforth,
swiftforth, vfx forth), neither of this 3 can be used :

- gforth as to be cross-compiled (I don't want to install development
tools on eeepc) and there is a mess with glibc ...(good luck) (but
everything ok on a laptop/ubuntu)

- vfxforth is ok on eeepc, but simulator code is for the windows
edition...

- swiftforth is a windows aplli

lina too can't run that simulator...

I try to hack the code (vfxlin + gforth simulator), but I am a forth
neewbee... and there are some non trivial dialect subtilities...

No, it is not.
I am using seaforth simulator on VfxLin under Fedora 8.

I have both 4tH (http://groups.google.nl/group/4th-compiler/
browse_thread/thread/e0712fc8113afb1e?hl=en) as well as gForth (http://

sure what you mean by "as to be cross compiled".. I'm talking about
vanilla gForth.

Maybe the OP is planning to build gforth on another machine and then
put it on his Eee.

For the OP:

You can download the prebuilt binaries. Usually however these will not
have been linked to ffcall but hopefully this won't be a necessity for
your case.

Have you tried a binary package, e.g.,

What do you mean with that?

As long as the libc on the build machine is older than the libc on the
target machine, you should be fine.

I think he may have run into a spot of bother with the preinstalled
glibc. Or perhaps the dynamic loader.

On the early versions of the xandros on my Eee with vfx (debian pkg).
It used to seg fault.

I am not sure what the problem was, I should have traced the fault at
the time.

In fact, I was going to - I needed a debugger, I went to get the dev
tools from debian and I noted it put in a new glibc and possibly a new
dynamic loader too. Whatever the problem was it went away after this.

I suspect the problems I had come from one of these two files. I don't
believe vfx depends on anything else, but Stephen can correct me if I
am wrong.
