ficl Ficl Forth interpreter

Ficl is a programming language interpreter designed to be embedded into other systems as a command, macro, and development prototyping language.

This is DIY port of Ficl (the “Forth Inspired Command Language”). See http://ficl.sourceforge.net/. It is a “” port because the Ficl source is not in that directory, only an environment and instructions that will let you build Ficl under NuttX. The rest is up to you.

Build Instructions

Disclaimer: This installation steps have only been exercised using Ficl 4.1.0. With new versions you will likely have to make some adjustments to this instructtions or to the files within this directory. Think of this information as _recommendations_ - not necessarily proven instructions.

1. cd to interpreters/ficl

2. Download Ficl: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ficl/files/

3. Uznip the Ficl compressed file.

   For example, unzip ficl-4.1.0.zip will leave the file interpreters/ficl/ficl-4.1.0.

4. Configure to build Ficl in the interpreters/ficl directory using the configure.sh script.

   For example, ./configure.sh ficl-4.1.0 will leave the Makefile fragment Make.srcs in the ficl build directory.

5. Create your NuttX configuration. Using the make menuconfig, you should select:

   CONFIG_INTERPRETERS_FICL=y
   

6. Configure and build NuttX. On successful completion, the Ficl objects will be available in apps/libapps.a and that NuttX binary will be linked against that file. Of course, Ficl will do nothing unless you have written some application code that uses it!
