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.  This of this

information as "recommendations" -- not necessarily proven instructions.



1. CD to apps/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

   apps/interpreters/ficl/ficl-4.1.0



4. Configure to build Ficl in the apps/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.  The appconfig file should include

   (1) the path to your application code, and (2) the path to the Ficl

   build directory.  That latter would appear as the following line in

   your appconfig file:



   CONFIGURED_APPS += interpreters/ficl



 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!
