Ok, I have tried to build Gforth with ffcall on AMD64 and found build errors that affect all targets with buggy long longs (i.e., all 64-bit targets and PowerPCs). The fix is to patch and build as follows: wget http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/Patches/0.6.2-ffcall-64bit.diff && patch -p0 <0.6.2-ffcall-64bit.diff && sleep 1 && touch engine/*.i kernel/aliases.fs kernel/prim.fs && configure && make Interestingly, this bug has shown up before and was described in <http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/forth/gforth/Known-problems.html#ffcall-buggy-ll>, but I guess that the title was misleading (I also noticed it only after I had fixed it and prepared the new patch:-). - anton --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
