Arch Linux User Repository

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.

An updated PKGBUILD for the latest 0.7.9 snapshot:

gforth runs very slowly because it is compiled with -O1 as CFLAGS is just '-std=gnu99'. Can you change the CFLAGS to CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -std=gnu99" to respect /etc/makepkg.conf?

new version for gforth is 0.7.9, please update this package

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gforth.git

Here is a slightly updated PKGBUILD. In particular it builds the docs, makes use of $(nproc), and copies over the Emacs gforth.el file to where it should be.

@keenerd, do you still maintain this package?
