In addition to the base system, users of RETRO on Unix hosts
|
|
|
|
|
with ELF executables can build and use the <span class="tt">retro-compiler</span>
|
|
|
|
|
to generate turnkey executables.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
<span class="h2">Requirements</span>
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
• Unix host<br/>
|
|
|
|
|
• ELF executable support<br/>
|
|
|
|
|
• <span class="tt">objcopy</span> in the $PATH<br/>
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
<span class="h2">Building</span>
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
make bin/retro-compiler
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
<span class="h2">Installing</span>
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
Copy <span class="tt">bin/retro-compiler</span> to somewhere in your $PATH.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
<span class="h2">Using</span>
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
<span class="tt">retro-compiler</span> takes two arguments: the source file to
|
|
|
|
|
compile and the name of the word to use as the main entry
|
|
|
|
|
point.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
Given a <span class="tt">hello.forth</span>:
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
<tt class='indentedcode'>~~~</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
<tt class='indentedcode'>:hello 'Hello_World! s:put nl ;</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
<tt class='indentedcode'>~~~</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
Use:
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
<tt class='indentedcode'>retro-compiler hello.forth hello</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
The compiler will generate an <span class="tt">a.out</span> file which you can
|
|
|
|
|
then rename.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
This does not provide the scripting support for command line
|
|
|
|
|
arguments that the standard <span class="tt">retro</span> interface offers.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
A copy of <span class="tt">objcopy</span> needs to be in the path for compilation
|
|
|
|
|
to work.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
The current working directory must be writable.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
This only supports hosts using ELF executables.
|
|
|
|
|
<br/><br/>
|
|
|
|
|
The output file name is fixed to <span class="tt">a.out</span>.
