I got the standalone forth from openbios-devel-20040919-1800.tar.bz2 to build and run on Cgywin and Linux.

While building I did get this error (had the same problem on linux as well): make[2]: *** No rule to make target `../../obj-x86/build/arch/unix/../../fs/libfs.a', needed by `../../obj-x86/build/arch/unix/unix'. Stop. make[1]: *** [sub-arch/unix-all] Error 2

Did you disable all filesystem support? Looks like a bug in the build system. Thanks for reporting this.

I believe so, I was trying for a minimum build so I could play around with it on cygwin.

From .config-x86 # # Filesystem Configuration # # CONFIG_DISK_LABEL is not set

That time I had a problem. Before I entered the "stars" line I hit up arrow, and got the "0 > : star [char] * emit ;" back. That is what I'd expect. I then pressed up arrow again and got: "0 " so I figured I was on an empty line. After typing the definition for stars again, I got the "star is not unique" warning message.

Sounds like a problem with the command line module (modules/cmdline.c)

On linux it acted the same way.

I can't reproduce this on my system. What terminal are you using?

the rxvt that comes with Cygwin. Rxvt v2.7.10 - released: 26 MARCH 2003
