No package for Gforth in Debian Pixie and LMDE 7, will not build from tarball

Hello

Unfortunately Gforth is no longer a package in debian pixie and also LMDE
7, I believe this is the debian tracker for the package.
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gforth

I tried downloading 0.7.3 (Latest release) and also later versions of
the traball from https://gforth.org/ and followed the instructions.

The first issue was

dave@HP-ProBook-450G3:~/Downloads/gforth-0.7.9_20230129$ sudo
./install-deps.sh
[sudo] password for dave:
/usr/bin/sudo
./install-deps.sh: 122: install_linuxmint: not found
./install-deps.sh: 119: install_gforth_linuxmint: not found
/usr/bin/sudo
/usr/bin/nproc
./install-swig.sh: 5: git: not found
./install-swig.sh: 6: cd: can't cd to swig

So I modified ./install-deps-sh and renamed =E2=80=9Clinuxmint=E2=80=9D to =
=E2=80=9Cdebian=E2=80=9D in the
code as $OS =E2=80=9Clinuxmint=E2=80=9D is not supported. I ran it again an=
d =E2=80=A6

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

it continued but ended with =E2=80=A6

I currently use LMDE 7, but as I understand it the same issue will be
present in Debian Pixie.

Can anybody advise on how to get Gforth to install ?

Kind Regards

Dave
