| FICL 4.1.0 |
| October 2010 |
| |
| ________ |
| OVERVIEW |
| |
| Ficl is a complete programming language interpreter designed to be embedded |
| into other systems (including firmware based ones) as a command, macro, |
| and development prototype language. Ficl stands for "Forth Inspired |
| Command Language". |
| |
| For more information, please see the "doc" directory. |
| For release notes, please see "doc/releases.html". |
| |
| ____________ |
| INSTALLATION |
| |
| Ficl builds out-of-the-box on the following platforms: |
| * NetBSD, FreeBSD: use "Makefile". |
| * Linux: use "Makefile.linux", but it should work with |
| "Makefile" as well. |
| * Win32: use "ficl.dsw" / "ficl.dsp". |
| To port to other platforms, we suggest you start with the generic |
| "Makefile" and the "unix.c" / "unix.h" platform-specific implementation |
| files. (And please--feel free to submit your portability changes!) |
| |
| (Note: Ficl used to build under RiscOS, but we broke everything |
| for the 4.0 release. Please fix it and send us the diffs!) |
