Thanks for the hints.  I now got further, but not without problems, and
still not successful.

Comment about install-freetype-gl.sh: it uses some ugly hack to manually
install libsoil via /bin/cp and directly installs to /usr (rather than
/usr/local).  I instead used libsoil's "make install" target which
seemed to do better.

After resolving those dependencies, gforth-fast minos2/md-test.fs now
started failing in minos2/font-style.fs.  Seems it needs package
fonts-noto to continue (maybe just fonts-noto-color-emoji would do).

Then it failed trying to find fa-merged-900.ttf, which doesn't seem to
be available at all here (Debian).  I had to patch the font-path to
include "truetype/font-awesome" and substituded fa-merge-900.ttf with
fontawesome-webfont.ttf (it looked like the right thing to do, but no
idea whether it actually makes sense).

Unfortunately the 'md-test.fs' example does not seem to work

$ gforth-fast ./minos2/md-test.fs $(pwd)/README.md
[..]

Also minos2/gl-sample.fs only shows an empty window (filled dark-blue).
And minos2/gl-terminal.fs doesn't open any window at all.

What am I missing?

This is on Devuan Beowulf (which is mostly a "Debian stable" system).

cheers,

David
