Not only that, the patch has been added to CVS.

And a fix to ds2texi.fs that was causing my other compiler crash.

However, it is still not doing external calls.

Thanks Bernd

Before updating from cvs gforth compiled,
today after updating I get this message:

You don't have a working TeX binary (tex) installed anywhere in
your PATH, and texi2dvi cannot proceed without one. If you want to use this script, you'll need to install TeX (if you don't have it) or change
your PATH or TEX environment variable (if you do).  See the --help
output for more details.

For information about obtaining TeX, please see http:// www.tug.org. If
you happen to be using Debian, you can get it with this command:
  apt-get install tetex-bin
make: *** [doc/gforth.dvi] Error 1

I am now downloading MacTeX, is this what I need?

It's not the one I used, but it might get you there. I seem to remember it took a little bit of work to get it setup properly, but that may be because I chose a different route than that one.

What did you use?
At 744 MB MacTeX may be more than gforth needs.

I can't even find it anymore, and I've deleted the main applications now. I still have i-Installer installed and my /usr/ texbin folder points to /usr/local/texlive. However, I see that TeX Live points you to MacTeX, so you are probably in the right place. A little more searching showed LaTeXiT on the Apple downloads page, which looks familiar. Once I learned the basics, I search the web for info about any libraries I might need and let my gforth code generate the tex file and only look at the pdf output. I have an Eclipse plugin to view tex files if I need that, but I rarely need to do that anymore, and that's all that the packages give you beyond what Fink or MacPorts can give you.

Ok...!

PowerBook G3 500
MacOS 10.4.11

+ installed MacTeX

+ edit a file, added a word, so I know the compile works
+ I ran as root because previously I got a permission error
  after the BUILD-FROM-SCRATCH

Hawthorn:/Users/Bee/CVS/gforth069 root# ./BUILD-FROM-SCRATCH --enable- force-reg
*** Check successful ***
*** performance problems ***
    automatic register allocation: performance degradation possible

Hawthorn:/Users/Bee/CVS/gforth069 root# make install

+ compiled gforth seems to be working!
