Hello Anton

Today I updated gforth from cvs on several MacOSX 10.4.11 PPC machines. All went well until the last, where I had installed other MacPorts.

With autoconf 2.62 and automake 1.10.1 installed the conpile failed with an endian error. (bigendian... universal ???)

If I deactivate those two files and use automake 1.6.3 and automake 2.59 it compiles ok. (bigendian... yes)

Do you have any idea why autoconf 2.62 is creating a "bad" configure file?

in regards to this.  I hope that my questions are not too noobish.

If everything needed is installed, you just need to say

./configure && make

(and if you can and want to install it into the usual places: "make install")

as is mentioned in the INSTALL file.  Concerning the links: Just read
the INSTALL file.

There may actually be a gforth package for the system that's running
on your hosting account.
