Compiling preForth and SeedForth on Fedora 40 (x86_64)
- Installing devtools
sudo dnf install gcc make git
- Installing "fasm" binary from homepage
- Installing i686 libraries
sudo dnf install glibc-devel.i686 glibc-devel
- Adjust Makefile

   # assemble and link executable on linux
   %.Linux: %.asm
        fasm $< $@.o
        LDEMULATION=elf_i386 ld -melf_i386 -o $@ \
           -dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux.so.2 \
           /usr/lib/crt1.o /usr/lib/crti.o \
           $@.o \
           -lc /usr/lib/crtn.o

Build preForth and seedForth

make clean make ./seed

I have Fedora 40 (Silverblue - can run any Linux in a container) - does this work there? I'm having trouble getting it to work with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

cstrotm commented 3 months ago

Fedora Silverblue is an immutable OS image system. You would need to use a toolbox container to install and run PreForth/SeedForth.

I can check with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS later today and report if I can get PreForth working there (should work)

znmeb commented 3 months ago

Yes, I know all about the immutable thing - that's why I picked it! I'm actually on Universal Blue Bluefix DX, which is a superset of Sliverblue. I have a Fedora 40 distrobox, a Rawhide distrobox, about three Ubuntu 24.04 distroboxes and an Arch distrobox at the moment. Plus Ubuntu 24.04 in Windows Subsystem for Linux. I'll try this tomorrow on Fedora and Arch.

I've added a new issue #18 on how to compile perForth and seedForth on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
