I am running gforth 0.7.3 installed on an Ubuntu system via the official Ubuntu PPA.
Have I made a mistake in the way I compile the image? Am I missing any options?
There's couple of issues involved.
For some reason gforth-ditc on ubuntu is located in different path. Not under /usr/bin, but under /use/lib/$MACHTYPE/gforth/$version. I.e. for 64-bit ubuntu and gforth version 0.7.2 I have it located at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gforth/0.7.2/gforth-ditc. Find it in your system and specify with GFORTHD environment variable.
Second problem is with your test sample. It shouldn't end with bye, as that will terminate gforth-ditc (used by gforthmi) without possibly saving anything, as savesystem word passed as arguments to gforth-ditc will never be reached.
Another hint - your test sample will be interpreted during compilation, but won't contribute any code to generated image. At least define some words to be called after your image is loaded :)
