• Fondren forth-http revisited

    From none) (albert@21:1/5 to All on Tue Apr 4 12:21:09 2023
    Julian Fondren has published a website using Forth in

    https://bitbucket.org/demonview/forth-httpd/
    using swiftforth, mpeforth, iforth and ciforth.

    There are a few remarks:
    1.

    I got an error message with for
    [[
    in a Makefile.
    2.
    It will be necessary adding -m32 to the call of gcc if run on
    a 64 bit system.
    Otherwise the system call numbers can be invalid for differing
    64 bits system calls.

    3. As for lina32.
    You need not be concerned about forth.lab.
    A properly installed lina32 will do, and all references
    about forth.lab can be eliminated from the Makefile's.
    You can do simply
    touch forth.lab
    to satisfy the Makefile.
    Alternatively you can put a freshly unpacked lina32 and forth.lab in
    the working directory, provided you have added the working directory
    (.) to your PATH.

    4. A defect in recent lina.
    If you plan to use a recent lina 5.4.1
    you will discover that
    WANT LOCAL
    doesn't work, because of a missing dependancy.
    Precede it with
    WANT LINK-LATEST

    Hope this helps.
