Announcement of latest snapshot
ebuild for gforth-0.7.0 |
Description

preliminary test results: works fine on AMD64, crashes on Athlon Thunderbird, both with both of the performance enhancement options enabled and GCC 4.1.2. I'm going to play around a bit with the Thunderbird version before sending it upstream, but the vanilla version will play on the Athlon Thunderbird. I have no more Pentia upon which to test. ;) (In reply to comment #1) > preliminary test results: works fine on AMD64, crashes on Athlon Thunderbird, > both with both of the performance enhancement options enabled and GCC 4.1.2. > I'm going to play around a bit with the Thunderbird version before sending it > upstream, but the vanilla version will play on the Athlon Thunderbird.

I've been building in off and on from CVS over the past couple of months on my AMD64 and it works fine. The email is attached. Created attachment 160851 [details]

That's not a great surprise since the CVS code has been running for a few weeks.

Is it a fork? What is the deal?

What is the deal? > gForth 0.6.2 is quite old. The master source in the GNU repositories probably hasn't been updated. Anton Ertl's 0.6.9 tarball is probably the right one to go into the tree, but I don't know what needs to be done to the ebuild to make that happen. Anton is usually pretty good about responding to questions, bug reports, etc., on the gForth mailing list. I guess the thing to do is leave this package "maintainer needed" and send out an announcement that it's leaving the tree if no one picks it up in 30 days. That should clarify things a bit. :) gforth 0.7.0 was released on 2008/11/02, and is available at: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gforth/gforth-0.7.0.tar.gz I'm attaching the ebuild I put together for gforth 0.7.0 because the 0.6.2 build breaks on my amd64 machine. I did some very basic testing on stable x86 and amd64. I do get a QA notice about an executable stack for: * RWX --- --- usr/lib/gforth/0.7.0/libcc-named/fflib.so.0.0.0 Not sure how to address that.
