The alternative is to also install a wrapper script to “bin” that
essentially does this:
#!/bin/sh
qemu-system-i386 -snapshot -boot a -fda $prefix/share/colorforth/cf2012.img
It still crashes for me but at least it doesn’t complain about store
permissions. If you can get this to run on your computer then please
send a final patch that incorporates all of these suggestions.
Otherwise I think it may not be worth spending more time on a toy
package like this.
What do you think?
