I’ve given up on Cygwin, switching to Windows Subsystem for Linux, but trying the 64 bit version just now dies on the 1st make instruction.
Running: make make: Circular kernel/version.fs <- kernel/version.fs dependency dropped. ./preforth -p ".:~+:." prims2x.fs -e "c-flag on s\" prim.i\" save-mem out-filename 2! s\" "prim.b"\" ' output-c ' output-c-combined process-file bye" >engine/prim.i The WSL version finishes the BUILD-FROM-SCRATCH process, but does get the same error you mentioned: checking for swig... /usr/bin/swig swig error : Unrecognized option -forth Use 'swig -help' for available options. configure: WARNING: *** Swig without -forth. Building library buildings from tarball. configure: creating ./config.status I remember looking into that a while ago, but obviously, I never found a way to get around it yet. I doubt I had time to report it either. No doc build either. Sorry! DaR From: J.

Now I'm trying again, with several errors. 1st one I'd like to track down is the configure program saying No Swig with -forth Anyone have any idea where I can get a swig that actually supports the forth language in its output. Google has been no help with this. Dave
