On my test system configure failed to see dlcompat even though it is installed: /sw/lib/libdl.0.dylib /sw/lib/libdl.a /sw/lib/libdl.dylib Ok, let's try with ./configure CC="cc -L/sw/lib -I/sw/include" 1.76s user 0.05s system 97% cpu 1.866 total 2.23s user 0.06s system 96% cpu 2.368 total 1.23s user 0.05s system 98% cpu 1.298 total 2.31s user 0.09s system 96% cpu 2.488 total compared to gforth 0.6.2 without dlcompat: 1.69s user 0.06s system 93% cpu 1.878 total 2.19s user 0.03s system 94% cpu 2.348 total 1.18s user 0.04s system 94% cpu 1.293 total 2.28s user 0.12s system 96% cpu 2.497 total > The fink libraries are definitely what > causes 0.6.2 to be slow, so I'll need to figure out how to use dlcompat > without fink, but is that going to be a waste of my time? I think I have it: The problem is that you set CFLAGS; this suppresses the default CFLAGS, which turn on optimization. Without optimization you see significant slowdowns. - anton --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
