Wow, you installed cygwin on NT just to help?
Please note that I never said I _compiled_ the current snapshot, I use
the distribution for windows *as is*.
The distribution has the following code in history.fs:
s" os-class" environment? [IF] s" unix" str= [ELSE] true [THEN]
[IF]
: history-file ( -- addr u )
s" GFORTHHIST" getenv dup 0= IF
2drop s" ~/.gforth-history"
THEN ;
[ELSE]
: history-dir ( -- addr u )
s" TMP" getenv ?dup ?EXIT drop
s" TEMP" getenv ?dup ?EXIT drop
s" c:/" ;
: history-file ( -- addr u )
s" GFORTHHIST" getenv ?dup ?EXIT
drop
history-dir pad place
s" /ghist.fs" pad +place pad count ;
[THEN]
.. and it has compiled the UNIX part. "~/.gforth-history" fails, of course,
on NT.
I tried executing the [ELSE] part from the terminal and then did
history-cold. It doesn't work. I get this:
history-file cr type
/cygdrive/c/TEMP/ghist.fs ok
history-dir cr type
/cygdrive/c/TEMP ok
ok
history-cold ok
But it doesn't remember further commands. ^P, ^N give the 16 and 14,
like they should.
The "/cygdrive/" path looks suspicious. Looking in C:\TEMP, there is no ghist.fs
there.
Am I almost there?
