File not found about lbforth HOT 3 CLOSED

P.S: Actually, this behavior seems to be inherited from the first generation (generated by 'make clean all TARGET=x86 OS=windows). These two files were moved to 'bin' subfolder:

Directory: F:\fun\lbforth\wsl.w4\bin

Mode LastWriteTime Length Name

-a---- 2020-11-14 4:03 AM 11560 forth.exe
-a---- 2020-11-14 4:03 AM 11560 x86-forth.exe

PS F:\fun\lbforth\wsl.w4\bin> ./forth
lbForth

File not found

from lbforth.

This is the expected behaviour. By default, src, the "system directory" (installation target), and the current directory is searched. This is from kernel.fth:

   s" src/" searched \ UGLY HACK
   sysdir searched
   s" " searched

sysdir is defined in the Makefile; the default is /usr/local/share/lbForth.

The lbForth .exe file only has a very minimal set of words, and depends on files in src to build up a full Forth. The most important file is core.fth.

Thanks, it's good to know that lbForth is minimal at boot up and loading other words afterward.

Great design, thanks again.
