Compiling on Unix

How to Compile pForth on Unix or Mac

We provide a simple Makefile for compiling.

Details

1. CD to "platforms/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.

Comment by kristopherdjohnson, Dec 9, 2014 To build pForth using the Xcode 6.x toolchain, you need to remove the following options from FULL_WARNINGS in unix/Makefile: -c89 -fpeephole

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

./pforth_standalone

Testing

Enter: make test
