Bug 11677 – ebuild for GFORTH 0.5.0

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Rafael R. Sevilla 2002-12-06 10:02:37 UTC]

Hi all,

I've attached an ebuild for GForth 0.5.0, an ANS Forth interpreter.  While the
ebuild I've made does seem to produce a working binary that apparently runs
properly, it seems that the authors last updated the package when GCC 2.95.2 was
the compiler of the day, and as such I've had to do a lot of kludges to get it
to compile properly with gcc 3.x (apparently not even the known problems
document on the distribution website helps to build; I had to sed the makefiles
to get rid of the -O3 optimizations they hardcoded that kill the build). Mark
this one as unstable. I'll mail the developers to see what its development
status really is at the moment.

Maybe I'll distribute patches for the next release to address the optimizations
lossage.

Oh yeah, by the way, I think it should probably go into dev-lang, as it's an
interpreter for the FORTH language.

Hi Rafael

Thank you for your submission!
I have processed and committed the ebuild. It is keymasked now. Please test.
