Yup. Running x86_64, with kernel 6.12.6-arch1-1. I'll give that a shot.

@mutewave Just to confirm you're on x86_64 right? Can you please try patch the PKGBUILD and try makepkg -siL again?

Rog. Here it is

Thanks!

@mutewave I need more info as it's not failing for me:

$ cd /tmp && git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/gforth.git && cd gforth && makepkg -siL
$ ls -tr gforth-*.log | xargs cat > makelog.txt

and upload /tmp/gforth/makelog.txt to pastebin/gist/other and link it here

Build fails with exit status 4.

In specific:

I believe this is referring to lines 714-730 in the generated makefile.os2.

Let me know if any other information is needed.

yep - installs and runs perfectly fine! many thanks @envolution for that fast fix!

@okflo could you try again? I had to move the source to gnu.org due to a missing release on github

as of today it fails with "Failure while downloading https://github.com/forthy42/gforth/archive/refs/tags/0.7.3.tar.gz" - The requested URL returned error: 404

this should be working now, please let me know if there are issues

Changes:
-included various debian patches
-custom patch to get deal with some libffi issues I was seeing that seems specific to Arch
-included docs and more as suggested below
-included html docs in /usr/share/doc/gforth/gforth_html
-removed emacs/vim files as I believe it's better managed by gforth-git

This package appears to be a requirement for gforth-git which is a much more recent development version than this package.
