Free Forth Compilers and Forth Development Systems

Gforth Forth Compiler

Gforth is GNU's Forth compiler, and like many of the GNU tools, it is portable to a number of systems. It implements the ANSI Forth language. From the documentation, this Forth compiler "employs traditional implementation techniques: its inner interpreter is indirect or direct threaded".

4tH Forth Compiler/Interpreter

4tH is a compiler/interpreter that handles Forth-like source code. It supports MS-DOS, Windows, Linux, Coherent, AIX, SunOS, BOS, BOS-X, BSD, Macintosh OS X, BeOS, RISC-OS, etc. It is a full Forth compiler that generates intermediate bytecode that can run (using its runtime presumably) under any of the supported systems.

Mary Forth Compiler

Mary is an optimizing native code Forth compiler for PIC microcontrollers that is released under the GNU GPL. It requires an ANSI Forth system whose cell width is at least 16 bits.

bigForth Forth Compiler

bigForth is a native code Forth compiler originally developed for the Atari ST. The current version runs on Windows 95/98/NT and Linux. It is released under the GNU GPL. It generates optimised native code for the Intel i386 and has a number of tools included: a multitasker, a decompiler, a source level debugger, and an editor. A huge library is included and separate compilation is also supported. You may also want to explore their MINOS, a GUI for X, written for the Linux and Win32 versions of the Forth system.

ATLAST Embeddable Forth

ATLAST is an embeddable FORTH-like language, originally developed by Autodesk, Inc, and is based on the FORTH-83 language with numerous extensions. It is portable to MSDOS, OS/2, Macintosh, and many Unix systems. Embedding this Forth into your application allows you to extend provide your users with a very powerful macro facility. This Forth compiler is released into the public domain.

Win32Forth

Win32Forth is an ANSI Forth compiler that comes with an interactive console, an integrated source level debugger, a syntax highlighting integrated editor, etc.

SP-Forth

SP-Forth is an optimizing Forth compiler and interpreter producing for Windows, Linux and Kolibri OS.

Forth32: an MSDOS excerpt of fig-Forth

This is another 32-bit Forth compiler excerpted from figForth (see elsewhere on this page). This one runs on MSDOS.

figforth Forth Development System

figForth is a complete Forth development system for Linux and MSDOS. It comes with sample programs, benchmarks, an assembler, a decompiler, an editor and of course, documentation. It is released under the GNU GPL.

Lina Forth Compiler

This is a 32 bit ISO Forth compiler/interpreter for Linux. It uses indirect threaded code. It has a loadable assembler.
