CMake, Make, a C++17 compatible compiler (GCC >= 7), and an assembler that uses AT&T syntax are required.
Run the following commands to build the compiler:
$ mkdir build && cd build$ cmake ..$ make
Then use the compiler to bootstrap the standard library:
$ cd .. # in the root directory now$ make # forthc needs to be located in build/forthc
You should now be ready to compile your first program! Write the following in a forth file
hello.forth: main"Ciao, Mondo!\n" puts;
And build it with the following commands:
$ forthc hello.forth | as -o hello.o -$ ld hello.o /usr/lib/forth/libfstd.a -o hello$ ./helloCiao, Mondo!
