1 This is a list of the status of GNU Emacs on various machines and systems.
|
|
2
|
|
3 For each system and machine, we give the configuration name you should
|
|
4 pass to the `configure' script to prepare to build Emacs for that
|
|
5 system/machine.
|
|
6
|
|
7 The `configure' script uses the configuration name to decide which
|
|
8 machine and operating system description files `src/config.h' should
|
|
9 include. The machine description files are all in `src/m', and have
|
|
10 names similar to, but not identical to, the machine names used in
|
|
11 configuration names. The operating system files are all in `src/s',
|
|
12 and are named similarly. See the `configure' script if you need to
|
|
13 know which configuration names use which machine and operating system
|
|
14 description files.
|
|
15
|
|
16 If you add support for a new configuration, add a section to this
|
|
17 file, and then edit the `configure' script to tell it which
|
|
18 configuration name(s) should select your new machine description and
|
|
19 system description files.
|
|
20
|
|
21
|
|
22 Here are the configurations Emacs is intended to work with, with the
|
|
23 corresponding configuration names. You can postpend version numbers
|
|
24 to operating system names (i.e. sunos4.1) or architecture names (i.e.
|
|
25 hppa1.1). If you leave out the version number, the `configure' script
|
|
26 will configure Emacs for the latest version it knows about.

38 Acorn RISCiX (arm-acorn-riscix1.2)
|
|
39
|
|
40 Emacs 19.29 has changes that ought to support RISCiX 1.2.
|
|
41
|
|
42 Due to a bug in the RISCiX C compiler (3.4.5), emacs must
|
|
43 be built with gcc (versions 2.5.8 onwards).
|
|
44
|
|
45 In addition, you will need GNU sed and GNU make, as the RISCiX release
|
|
46 versions of these utilities cannot cope with building emacs-19!
|
|
47
|
|
48 GNU sed should be configured with:
|
|
49
|
|
50 env 'DEFS=-Dgetopt=gnu_getopt -Dopterr=gnu_opterr -Doptind=gnu_optind \
|
|
51 -Doptarg=gnu_optarg' ./configure
|
|
52
|
|
53 GNU make (3.72+) should be configured with:
|
|
54
|
|
55 env 'CFLAGS=-Dgetopt=gnu_getopt -Dopterr=gnu_opterr -Doptind=gnu_optind \
|
|
56 -Doptarg=gnu_optarg' ./configure
|
|
57
|
|
58 Emacs may be configured to use the X toolkit, by adding --with-x-toolkit
|
|
59 to the configure command. If you do this, you will need to edit the line
|
|
60 in src/Makefile which defines LIBW (about line 59) to read:
|
|
61
|
|
62 LIBW= -lXaw_n
|
|
63
|
|
64 This ensures that the non-shared widget library is used.
|
|
65
|
|
66 It is unlikely that this version of emacs will work with RISCiX 1.1.
|
|
67
|
|
68 Alliant (fx80-alliant-bsd):
|
|
69
|
|
70 18.52 worked on system version 4. Previous Emacs versions were
|
|
71 known to work on previous system versions.
|
|
72
|
|
73 If you are using older versions of their operating system, you may
|
|
74 need to edit `src/config.h' to use `m/alliant1.h' (on version 1) or
|
|
75 `m/alliant.h' (on versions 2 and 3).
|
|
76
|
|
77 Alliant FX/2800 (i860-alliant-bsd)
|
|
78
|
|
79 Known to work with 19.26 and OS version 2.2, compiler version 1.3.
|
|
80
|
|
81 Alpha (DEC) running OSF/1 (alpha-dec-osf1)
|
|
82
|
|
83 Worked as of Lucid Emacs 19.8.
|
|
84
|
|
85 Altos 3068 (m68k-altos-sysv)
|
|
86
|
|
87 18.52 was said to work, provided you don't compile unexec.c with -O.
|
|
88
|
|
89 Amdahl UTS (580-amdahl-sysv)
|
|
90
|
|
91 Small changes for 18.38 were merged in 18.39. It is mostly
|
|
92 working, but at last report a bug sometimes causes Emacs to
|
|
93 grab very large amounts of memory. No fix or explanation
|
|
94 has yet been reported. It may be possible to find this bug
|
|
95 if you find which Emacs command it happens within and then
|
|
96 run that command with a breakpoint set at malloc.
|
|
97
|
|
98 The 5.2u370 compiler is so brain damaged that it is not
|
|
99 even worth trying to use it. Success was obtained with the
|
|
100 uts native C compiler on uts version 5.2.5.
|
|
101
|
|
102 Apollo running Domain (m68k-apollo-domain)
|
|
103
|
|
104 19.29 has a few patches that ought to make things work.
|
|
105
|
|
106 There are reports of bugs in cc -O on this system.
|
|
107
|
|
108 In `lib-src/Makefile', don't expect emacsclient and emacsserver to
|
|
109 compile. You might want to remove them from your makefile.
|
|
110
|
|
111 The Apollo has a bizarre operating system which does not permit
|
|
112 Emacs to be dumped with preloaded pure Lisp code. Therefore, each
|
|
113 time you start Emacs on this system, the standard Lisp code is loaded
|
|
114 into it. Expect it to take a long time. You can prevent loading of
|
|
115 the standard Lisp code by specifying the -nl switch. It must
|
|
116 come at the beginning of the command line; only the -t and -batch
|
|
117 switches may come before it.
|
|
118
|
|
119
|
|
120 Here is a design for a method of dumping and reloading the relevant
|
|
121 necessary impure areas of Emacs.
|
|
122
|
|
123 On dumping, you need to dump only the array `pure' plus the
|
|
124 locations that contain values of forwarded Lisp variables or that are
|
|
125 protected for garbage collection. The former can be found by a
|
|
126 garbage- collection-like technique, and the latter are in the
|
|
127 staticprolist vector (see alloc.c for both things).
|
|
128
|
|
129 Reloading would work in an Emacs that has just been started; except
|
|
130 when a switch is specified to inhibit this, it would read the dump
|
|
131 file and set all the appropriate locations. The data loaded must be
|
|
132 relocated, but that's not hard. Those locations that are of type
|
|
133 Lisp_Object can be found by a technique like garbage-collection, and
|
|
134 those of them that point to storage can be relocated. The other data
|
|
135 read from the file will not need to be relocated.
|
|
136
|
|
137 The switch to inhibit loading the data base would be used when it
|
|
138 is time to dump a new data base.
|
|
139
|
|
140 This would take a few seconds, which is much faster than loading
|
|
141 the Lisp code of Emacs from scratch.
|
|
142
|
|
143 AT&T 3b2, 3b5, 3b15, 3b20 (we32k-att-sysv)
|
|
144
|
|
145 Emacs will probably not work with certain kernel constants too small.
|
|
146
|
|
147 In param.h CDLIMIT should be at least (1L << 12) in order to allow
|
|
148 processes to write up to 2 Mbyte files. This parameter is configurable
|
|
149 by normal means in /etc/master.d/kernel; examine that file for the
|
|
150 symbol CDLIMIT or ULIMIT, and raise it by several powers of 2. Then
|
|
151 do normal kernel rebuild things via "cd /boot; mkboot -k KERNEL" and so
|
|
152 forth.
|
|
153
|
|
154 In seg.h NSEGP and STACKSEG should be at least 16 and 4 respectively
|
|
155 to allow processes with total size of up to 2Mbytes.
|
|
156 However, I'm told it is unlikely this would fail to be true.
|
|
157
|
|
158 The MAXMEM may also prevent Emacs from running. The file
|
|
159 3B-MAXMEM in this directory explains how to increase MAXMEM.
|
|
160
|
|
161 On some of these machines, you may need to define IN_SCCS_ID
|
|
162 in config.h to make Emacs work. Supposedly you can tell whether
|
|
163 this is necessary by checking something in /usr/include/sys/time.h;
|
|
164 we do not know precisely what.
|
|
165
|
|
166 AT&T 7300 or 3b1 (m68k-att-sysv)
|
|
167
|
|
168 18.52 worked. If you have strange troubles with dumping
|
|
169 Emacs, delete the last few lines from `src/m/7300.h' and recompile.
|
|
170 These lines are supposed to produce a sharable executable.
|
|
171
|
|
172 `src/m/7300.h' defines SHORTNAMES because operating system versions
|
|
173 older than 3.5 did not support long symbol names. Version 3.5 does
|
|
174 support them, so you can remove the #define SHORTNAMES in that
|
|
175 version.
|
|
176
|
|
177 Bull DPX/2 models 2nn or 3nn (m68k-bull-sysv3)
|
|
178
|
|
179 Minor fixes merged into 19.19, which should work with CC or GCC.
|
|
180
|
|
181 You should compile with all the POSIX stuff: undef _SYSV and define
|
|
182 _POSIX_SOURCE, _XOPEN_SOURCE and _BULL_SOURCE.
|
|
183
|
|
184 On bos2.00.45 there is a bug that makes the F_SETOWN fcntl
|
|
185 call enters in an infinite loop. F_SETOWN_BUG has been defined to avoid
|
|
186 calling it.
|
|
187
|
|
188 Bull DPX/20 (rs6000-bull-bosx)
|
|
189
|
|
190 Version 19 works.
|
|
191
|
|
192 Bull sps7 (m68k-bull-sysv2)
|
|
193
|
|
194 Changes partially merged in version 19, but some fixes are probably required.
|
|
195
|
|
196 CCI 5/32, 6/32
|
|
197
|
|
198 See "Tahoe".
|
|
199
|
|
200 Celerity (celerity-celerity-bsd4.2)
|
|
201
|
|
202 Version 18.49 worked. This configuration name is a hack, because we
|
|
203 don't know the processor used by Celerities. If someone
|
|
204 who uses a Celerity could get in touch with us, we can teach
|
|
205 config.sub a better name for the configuration.
|
|
206
|
|
207 Clipper (clipper-???)
|
|
208
|
|
209 Version 19 has support for some brand of clipper system. If you
|
|
210 have successfully built Emacs 19 on some sort of clipper system, let
|
|
211 us know so we can flesh out this entry.
|
|
212
|
|
213 Note that the Orion 105 is also a clipper, but some system-related
|
|
214 parameters are different.
|
|
215
|
|
216 Convex (c1-convex-bsd, c2-convex-bsd, c32-convex-bsd, c34-convex-bsd,
|
|
217 c38-convex-bsd)
|
|
218
|
|
219 Support updated and residual bugs fixed in 19.26.
|
|
220
|
|
221 Cubix QBx/386 (i386-cubix-sysv)
|
|
222
|
|
223 Changes merged in 19.1. Systems before 2/A/0 may fail to compile etags.c
|
|
224 due to a compiler bug.
|
|
225
|
|
226 Cydra 5 (cydra-cydrome-sysv)
|
|
227
|
|
228 18.51 worked in one version of their operating system but stopped
|
|
229 working in a newer version. This has not been fixed.
|
|
230
|
|
231 Data General Aviion (m88k-dg-dgux)
|
|
232
|
|
233 19.23 works; however, the GCC provided with DGUX 5.4R3.00 fails to
|
|
234 compile src/emacs.c. GCC 2.5.8 does work.
|
|
235 The 19.26 pretest was reported to work; no word on which compiler.
|
|
236
|
|
237 System versions other than DGUX 5.4R3.00 have not been tested.
|
|
238
|
|
239 DECstation (mips-dec-ultrix or mips-dec-osf)
|
|
240
|
|
241 This machine is the older Mips-based DECstation.
|
|
242 Emacs should now work on the Alpha CPU.
|
|
243
|
|
244 19.25 works on Ultrix 4.2. The 19.26 pretest was reported to work
|
|
245 on Ultrix 4.2a and on 4.4.
|
|
246
|
|
247 One user reported 19.25 did not work at all with --with-x-toolkit
|
|
248 using X11R5 patch level 10, but worked ok with X11R5 pl26.
|
|
249
|
|
250 See under Ultrix for problems using X windows on Ultrix.
|
|
251 Note that this is a MIPS machine.
|
|
252
|
|
253 For Ultrix versions 4.1 or earlier, you may need to define
|
|
254 SYSTEM_MALLOC in `src/m/pmax.h', because XvmsAlloc.o in libX11.a seems
|
|
255 to insist on defining malloc itself.
|
|
256
|
|
257 For Ultrix versions prior to 4.0, you may need to delete
|
|
258 the definition of START_FILES from `src/m/pmax.h'.
|
|
259
|
|
260 Motorola Delta 147 (m68k-motorola-sysv)
|
|
261
|
|
262 The EMacs 19.26 pretest was reported to work.
|
|
263
|
|
264 Motorola Delta boxes running System V/68 release 3.
|
|
265 Tested on 147 board with SVR3V7, no X and gcc.
|
|
266 Tested on 167 board with SVR3V7, no X, cc, gnucc and gcc.
|
|
267 Reports say it works with X too.
|
|
268
|
|
269 The installation script chooses the compiler itself. gnucc is
|
|
270 preferred.
|
|
271
|
|
272 Motorola Delta 187 (m88k-motorola-sysv,
|
|
273 m88k-motorola-sysvr4, or
|
|
274 m88k-motorola-m88kbcs)
|
|
275
|
|
276 The 19.26 pretest was reported to run on SVR3. However, if you
|
|
277 use --with-x-toolkit on svr3, you will have problems compiling some
|
|
278 files because time.h and sys/time.h get included twice.
|
|
279 One fix is to edit those files to protect against multiple inclusion.
|
|
280
|
|
281 As of version 19.13, Emacs was reported to run under SYSVr3 and SYSVr4.
|
|
282
|
|
283 Dual running System V (m68k-dual-sysv)
|
|
284
|
|
285 As of 17.46, this worked except for a few changes
|
|
286 needed in unexec.c.
|
|
287
|
|
288 Dual running Uniplus (m68k-dual-uniplus)
|
|
289
|
|
290 Worked, as of 17.51.
|
|
291
|
|
292 Elxsi 6400 (elxsi-elxsi-sysv)
|
|
293
|
|
294 Changes for 12.0 release are in 19.1.
|
|
295 Dumping should work now.
|
|
296
|
|
297 Encore machine (ns16k-encore-bsd)
|
|
298
|
|
299 This machine bizarrely uses 4.2BSD modified to use the COFF format
|
|
300 for object files. Works (as of 18.40). For the APC processor you
|
|
301 must enable two lines at the end of `src/s/umax.h', which are commented
|
|
302 out in the file as distributed.
|
|
303
|
|
304 WARNING: If you compile Emacs with the "-O" compiler switch, you
|
|
305 must also use the "-q enter_exits" switch so that all functions have
|
|
306 stack frames. Otherwise routines that call `alloca' all lose.
|
|
307
|
|
308 A kernel bug in some system versions causes input characters to be lost
|
|
309 occasionally.
|
|
310
|
|
311 GEC 63 (local-gec63-usg5.2)
|
|
312
|
|
313 Changes are partially merged in version 18, but certainly require
|
|
314 more work. Let us know if you get this working, and we'll give it a
|
|
315 real configuration name.
|
|
316
|
|
317 Gould Power Node (pn-gould-bsd4.2 or pn-gould-bsd4.3)
|
|
318
|
|
319 18.36 worked on versions 1.2 and 2.0 of the operating system.
|
|
320
|
|
321 On UTX/32 2.0, use pn-gould-bsd4.3.
|
|
322
|
|
323 On UTX/32 1.2 and UTX/32S 1.0, use pn-gould-bsd4.2 and note that
|
|
324 compiling `lib-src/sorted-doc' tickles a compiler bug: remove the -g
|
|
325 flag to cc in the makefile.
|
|
326
|
|
327 UTX/32 1.3 has a bug in the bcopy library routine. Fix it by
|
|
328 #undef BSTRING in `src/m/gould.h'.
|
|
329
|
|
330 Version 19 incorporates support for releases 2.1 and later of UTX/32.
|
|
331 A site running a pre-release of 2.1 should #define RELEASE2_1 in config.h.
|
|
332
|
|
333 Gould NP1 (np1-gould-bsd)
|
|
334
|
|
335 Version 19 supposedly works.
|
|
336
|
|
337 Harris Night Hawk (m68k-harris-cxux or m88k-harris-cxux)
|
|
338
|
|
339 This port was added in 19.23. The configuration actually tested was
|
|
340 a Night Hawk 4800 running CX/UX 7.0.
|
|
341
|
|
342 If you have GCC ported and want to build with it, you probably need to
|
|
343 change things (like compiler switches) defined in the s/cxux.h file.
|
|
344
|
|
345 With CX/UX 7.0 and later releases, you need to build after setting the
|
|
346 SDE_TARGET environment variable to COFF (a port using ELF and shared
|
|
347 libraries has not yet been done).
|
|
348
|
|
349 Honeywell XPS100 (xps100-honeywell-sysv)
|
|
350
|
|
351 Config file added in version 19.
|
|
352
|
|
353 Hewlett-Packard 9000 series 200 or 300 (m68k-hp-bsd or m68k-hp-hpux7.)
|
|
354
|
|
355 Version 19 works under BSD. The 19.26 pretest was reported
|
|
356 to work on HPUX 9.
|
|
357
|
|
358 These machines are 68000-series CPUs running HP/UX
|
|
359 (a derivative of sysV with some BSD features) or BSD 4.3 ported by Utah.
|
|
360 The operating system suffix determines which system Emacs is built for.
|
|
361
|
|
362 Series 200 HPUX runs Emacs only if it has the "HP/UX upgrade".
|
|
363
|
|
364 If you are running HP/UX release 8.0 or later, you need the optional
|
|
365 "C/ANSI C" software in order to build Emacs (older releases of HP/UX
|
|
366 do not require any special software). If the file "/etc/filesets/C"
|
|
367 exists on your machine, you have this software, otherwise you do not.
|
|
368
|
|
369 Note that HP has used two incompatible assembler syntaxes,
|
|
370 and has recently changed the format of C function frames.
|
|
371 `src/crt0.c' and `src/alloca.s' have been conditionalised for the new
|
|
372 assembler and new function-entry sequence. You may need to define
|
|
373 OLD_HP_ASSEMBLER if you are using an older hpux version. If you
|
|
374 have an official (bought from HP) series 300 machine you have
|
|
375 the new assembler. Kernels that are 5.+ or later have new
|
|
376 assembler. A Series 200 that has been upgraded to a 68010
|
|
377 processor and a 5.+ kernel has the new compiler.
|
|
378
|
|
379 Define C_SWITCH_MACHINE to be +X to make a version of Emacs that
|
|
380 runs on both 68010 and 68020 based HP/UX's.
|
|
381
|
|
382 Define HPUX_68010 if you are using the new assembler, for
|
|
383 a system that has a 68010 without a 68881. This is to say,
|
|
384 a s200 (upgraded) or s310.
|
|
385
|
|
386 Define the symbol HPUX_NET if you have the optional network features
|
|
387 that include the `netunam' system call. This is referred to as
|
|
388 Network Services (NS/9000) in HP literature.

390 HP 9000 series 500: not supported.
|
|
391
|
|
392 The series 500 has a seriously incompatible memory architecture
|
|
393 which relocates data in memory during execution of a program,
|
|
394 and support for it would be difficult to implement.
|
|
395
|
|
396 HP 9000 series 700 or 800 (Spectrum) (hppa1.0-hp-hpux or hppa1.1-hp-hpux
|
|
397 or ...hpux9shr)
|
|
398
|
|
399 19.26 is believed to work on HPUX 9 provided you compile with GCC.
|
|
400 As of version 19.16, Emacs was reported to build (using GCC) and run
|
|
401 on HP 9000/700 series machines running HP/UX versions 8.07 and 9.01.
|
|
402
|
|
403 Use hppa1.1 for the 700 series and hppa1.0 for the 800
|
|
404 series machines. (Emacs may not actually care which one you use.)
|
|
405
|
|
406 Use hppa1.1-hp-hpux9shr to use shared libraries on HPUX version 9.
|
|
407 You may need to create the X libraries libXaw.a and libXmu.a from
|
|
408 the MIT X distribute, and you may need to edit src/Makefile's
|
|
409 definition of LIBXT to look like this:
|
|
410
|
|
411 LIBXT= $(LIBW) -lXmu -lXt $(LIBXTR6) -lXext
|
|
412
|
|
413 Some people report trouble using the GNU memory allocator under
|
|
414 HP/UX version 9. The problems often manifest as lots of ^@'s in the
|
|
415 buffer.
|
|
416
|
|
417 We are told that these problems go away if you obtain the latest
|
|
418 patches for the HP/UX C compiler. James J Dempsey
|
|
419 <jjd@spserv.bbn.com> says that this set of versions works for him:
|
|
420 /bin/cc:
|
|
421 HP92453-01 A.09.28 HP C Compiler
|
|
422 /lib/ccom:
|
|
423 HP92453-01 A.09.28 HP C Compiler
|
|
424 HP-UX SLLIC/OPTIMIZER HP-UX.09.00.23 02/18/93
|
|
425 Ucode Code Generator - HP-UX.09.00.23.5 (patch) 2/18/93
|
|
426
|
|
427 For 700 series machines, the HP-UX patch needed is known as
|
|
428 PHSS_2653. (Perhaps for 800 series machines as well; we don't
|
|
429 know.) If you are on the Internet, you should be able to obtain
|
|
430 this patch by using telnet to access the machine
|
|
431 support.mayfield.hp.com and logging in as "hpslreg" and following
|
|
432 the instructions there. Do not ask FSF for further support on
|
|
433 this. If you have any trouble obtaining the patch, contact HP
|
|
434 Software Support.
|
|
435
|
|
436 If your buffer fills up with nulls (^@) at some point, it could well
|
|
437 be that problem. That problem does not happen when people use GCC
|
|
438 to compile Emacs. On the other hand, the HP compiler version 9.34
|
|
439 was reported to work for the 19.26 pretest. 9.65 was also reported to work.
|
|
440
|
|
441 If you turn on the DSUSP character (delayed suspend),
|
|
442 Emacs 19.26 does not know how to turn it off on HPUX.
|
|
443 You need to turn it off manually.
|
|
444
|
|
445 If you are running HP/UX release 8.0 or later, you need the optional
|
|
446 "C/ANSI C" software in order to build Emacs (older releases of HP/UX
|
|
447 do not require any special software). If the file "/etc/filesets/C"
|
|
448 exists on your machine, you have this software, otherwise you do not.

450 High Level Hardware Orion (orion-highlevel-bsd)
|
|
451
|
|
452 This is the original microprogrammed hardware.
|
|
453 Machine description file ought to work.
|
|
454
|
|
455 High Level Hardware Orion 1/05 (clipper-highlevel-bsd)
|
|
456
|
|
457 Changes merged in 18.52. This is the one with the Clipper cpu.
|
|
458 Note that systems which lack NFS need LOAD_AVE_TYPE changed to `double'.
|
|
459
|
|
460 C compiler has a bug; it loops compiling eval.c.
|
|
461 Compile it by hand without optimization.

|
|
463 IBM PS/2 (i386-ibm-aix1.1 or i386-ibm-aix1.2)
|
|
464
|
|
465 Changes merged in version 19. You may need to copy
|
|
466 /usr/lib/samples/hft/hftctl.c to the Emacs src directory.
|
|
467
|
|
468 i386-ibm-aix1.1 may not work with certain new X window managers, and
|
|
469 may be suboptimal.
|
|
470
|
|
471 IBM RS/6000 (rs6000-ibm-aix)
|
|
472
|
|
473 Emacs 19.26 is believed to work; its pretest was tested.
|
|
474
|
|
475 At last report, Emacs didn't run well on terminals. Informed
|
|
476 persons say that the tty VMIN and VTIME settings have been
|
|
477 corrupted; if you have a fix, please send it to us.
|
|
478
|
|
479 Compiling with -O using the IBM compiler has been known
|
|
480 to make Emacs work incorrectly. It's reported that on
|
|
481 AIX 3.2.5 with an IBM compiler earlier than 1.03.00.14,
|
|
482 cc -O fails for some files. You need to install any
|
|
483 PTF containing APAR #IX42810 to bring the compiler to
|
|
484 the 1.03.00.14 level to allow optimized compiles.
|
|
485 Alternatively, recompiling just emacs.c and extents.c
|
|
486 without optimization seems to do the trick as well.
|
|
487
|
|
488 There are reports that IBM compiler versions earlier than 1.03.00.02
|
|
489 fail even without -O.
|
|
490
|
|
491 As of 19.11, if you strip the Emacs executable, it ceases to work.
|
|
492
|
|
493 If you are using AIX 3.2.3, you may get a core dump when loading
|
|
494 ange-ftp. You may be able to fix the problem by defining LIBS_TERMCAP
|
|
495 as -ltermcap -lcurses. Please tell us if this fails to work.
|
|
496
|
|
497 If anyone can fix the above problems, or confirm that they don't happen
|
|
498 with certain versions of various programs, we would appreciate it.
|
|
499
|
|
500 IBM RT/PC (romp-ibm-bsd or romp-ibm-aix)
|
|
501
|
|
502 Use romp-ibm-bsd for the 4.2-like system and romp-ibm-aix for AIX.
|
|
503 19.22 is reported to work under bsd. We don't know about AIX.
|
|
504
|
|
505 On BSD, if you have trouble, try compiling with a different compiler.
|
|
506
|
|
507 On AIX, the file /usr/lib/samples/hft/hftctl.c must be compiled into
|
|
508 hftctl.o, with this result left in the src directory (hftctl.c is
|
|
509 part of the standard AIX distribution).
|
|
510
|
|
511 window.c must not be compiled with -O on AIX.
|
|
512

|
513 Integrated Solutions `Optimum V' (m68k-isi-bsd4.2 or -bsd4.3)
|
|
514
|
|
515 18.52 said to work on some sort of ISI machine.
|
|
516 Version 18.45 worked (running on a Optimum V (VME bus, 68020)
|
|
517 BSD 4.2 (3.05e) system). 18.42 is reported to work on
|
|
518 a Qbus 68010 system. Has not been tried on `WorkStation' `Cluster
|
|
519 Compute Node' `Cluster WorkStation' or `Server Node' (Love the
|
|
520 StudLYCaps)
|
|
521
|
|
522 Compilation with -O is rumored to break something.
|
|
523
|
|
524 On recent system versions, you may need to undefine the macro UMAX
|
|
525 in `lib-src/loadst.c' and `src/getpagesize.h'. They stupidly defined this
|
|
526 in a system header file, which confuses Emacs (which thinks that UMAX
|
|
527 indicates the Umax operating system).
|
|
528
|
|
529 Intel 386 (i386-*-isc, i386-*-esix,
|
|
530 i386-*-xenix, i386-*-linux, i386-*-freebsd,
|
|
531 i386-intsys-sysv, i386-*-sysv3,
|
|
532 i386-*-sysv4, i386-*-sysv4.2,
|
|
533 i386-*-sysv5.3, i386-*-bsd4.2,
|
|
534 i386-*-sco3.2v4, i386-*-bsd386, i386-*-386bsd
|
|
535 or i486... or i586...)
|
|
536
|
|
537 In the above configurations, * means that the manufacturer's name
|
|
538 you specify does not matter, and you can use any name you like
|
|
539 (but it should not contain any dashes or stars).
|
|
540
|
|
541 When using the ISC configurations, be sure to specify the isc
|
|
542 version number - for example, if you're running ISC 3.0, use
|
|
543 i386-unknown-isc3.0 as your configuration name.
|
|
544 Use i386-*-esix for Esix; Emacs runs as of version 19.6.
|
|
545 Use i386-*-linux for GNU/Linux systems; Emacs runs as of version 19.26.
|
|
546 Use i386-intsys-sysv for Integrated Solutions 386 machines.
|
|
547 It may also be correct for Microport systems.
|
|
548 Use i386-*-sco3.2v4 for SCO 3.2v4; Emacs runs as of version 19.26.
|
|
549
|
|
550 On GNU/Linux systems, Emacs 19.23 was said to work properly with libc
|
|
551 version 4.5.21, but not with 4.5.19. If your system uses QMAGIC
|
|
552 for the executable format, you must edit config.h to define LINUX_QMAGIC.
|
|
553
|
|
554 On GNU/Linux, configure may fail to put these definitions in config.h:
|
|
555
|
|
556 #define HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY
|
|
557 #define HAVE_MKDIR
|
|
558 #define HAVE_RMDIR
|
|
559
|
|
560 To work around the problem, add those definitions by hand.
|
|
561 It is possible that this problem happens only with X11R6
|
|
562 or that newer system versions have fixed it.
|
|
563
|
|
564 The 19.26 pretest was reported to work on SVR4.3 and on Freebsd.
|
|
565
|
|
566 Use i386-*-bsd386 for BSDI BSD/386; Emacs runs as of version 19.23.
|
|
567 Make on that system is broken; use GNU make instead.
|
|
568 Shell bugs in version 1.0 of BSD/386 cause configure
|
|
569 to do the wrong thing with --with-x-toolkit; the workaround is to edit
|
|
570 configure to run another shell such as bash.
|
|
571
|
|
572 For System V release 3, use i386-*-sysv3.
|
|
573 For System V release 4, use i386-*-sysv4.
|
|
574 For System V release 4.2, use i386-*-sysv4.2.
|
|
575
|
|
576 If you are using Xenix, see notes at end under Xenix.
|
|
577 If you are using Esix, see notes at end under Esix.
|
|
578 If you are using SCO Unix, see notes at end under SCO.
|
|
579
|
|
580 On 386bsd, netbsd and freebsd, you should use GNU make, not the
|
|
581 system's make. Assuming it's installed as gmake, do `gmake install
|
|
582 MAKE=gmake'.
|
|
583
|
|
584 If you are using System V release 4.2, you may find that `cc -E'
|
|
585 puts spurious spaces in `src/xmakefile'. If that happens,
|
|
586 specify CPP=/lib/cpp as an option when you run make.
|
|
587 There is no problem if you compile with GCC.
|
|
588
|
|
589 Note that use of Linux with GCC 2.4 and the DLL 4.4 libraries
|
|
590 requires the experimental "net 2" network patches (no relation to
|
|
591 Berkeley Net 2). There is a report that (some version of) Linux
|
|
592 requires including `/usr/src/linux/include/linux' in buffer.c
|
|
593 but no coherent explanation of why that might be so. If it is so,
|
|
594 in current versions of Linux, something else should probably be changed.
|
|
595
|
|
596 Some sysV.3 systems seem to have bugs in `opendir';
|
|
597 for them, alter `config.h' to define NONSYSTEM_DIR_LIBRARY
|
|
598 and undefine SYSV_SYSTEM_DIR.
|
|
599
|
|
600 If you use optimization on V.3, you may need the option -W2,'-y 0'
|
|
601 to prevent certain faulty optimization.
|
|
602
|
|
603 On 386/ix, to link with shared libraries, add #define USG_SHARED_LIBRARIES
|
|
604 to config.h.
|
|
605
|
|
606 On SCO, there are problems in regexp matching when Emacs is compiled
|
|
607 with the system compiler. The compiler version is "Microsoft C
|
|
608 version 6", SCO 4.2.0h Dev Sys Maintenance Supplement 01/06/93;
|
|
609 Quick C Compiler Version 1.00.46 (Beta). The solution is to compile
|
|
610 with GCC.
|
|
611
|
|
612 On ISC systems (2.02 and more recent), don't try to use the versions
|
|
613 of X that come with the system; use XFree86 instead.
|
|
614
|
|
615 There is no consistency in the handling of certain system header files
|
|
616 on V.3.
|
|
617
|
|
618 Some versions have sys/sioctl.h, and require it in sysdep.c.
|
|
619 But some versions do not have sys/sioctl.h.
|
|
620 For a given version of the system, this may depend on whether you have
|
|
621 X Windows or TCP/IP. Define or undefine NO_SIOCTL_H in config.h
|
|
622 according to whether you have the file.
|
|
623
|
|
624 Likewise, some versions have been known to need sys/ttold.h, sys/stream.h,
|
|
625 and sys/ptem.h included in sysdep.c. If your system has these files,
|
|
626 try defining NEED_PTEM_H in config.h if you have trouble without it.
|
|
627
|
|
628 You may find that adding -I/usr/X/include or -I/usr/netinclude or both
|
|
629 to CFLAGS avoids compilation errors on certain systems.
|
|
630
|
|
631 Some versions convince sysdep.c to try to use `struct tchars'
|
|
632 but define `struct tc' instead; add `#define tchars tc'
|
|
633 to config.h to solve this problem.
|
|
634

|
635 Iris 2500 and Iris 2500 Turbo (m68k-sgi-iris3.5 or m68k-sgi-iris3.6)
|
|
636
|
|
637 Version 18 was said to work; use m68k-sgi-iris3.5 for system version 2.5
|
|
638 and m68k-sgi-iris3.6 for system version 3.6.
|
|
639 Note that the 3030 is the same as the Iris 2500 Turbo.
|
|
640
|
|
641 Iris 4D (mips-sgi-irix[456].*)
|
|
642
|
|
643 The 19.26 pretest was reported to work on IRIX 4.0.5 and 5.2.
|
|
644 19.23 was reported to work on IRIX 5.2, but you may need to install
|
|
645 the "compiler_dev.hdr.internal" subsystem in order to compile unexelfsgi.c.
|
|
646 19.22 was known to work on all Silicon Graphics machines running
|
|
647 IRIX 4.0.5 or IRIX 5.1.
|
|
648
|
|
649 Compiling with -O using IRIX compilers prior to 3.10.1 may not work.
|
|
650 Don't use -O or use GCC instead.
|
|
651
|
|
652 Most IRIX 3.3 systems do not have an ANSI C compiler, but a few do.
|
|
653 Compile Emacs 18 with the -cckr switch on these machines.
|
|
654
|
|
655 There is a bug in IRIX 3.3 that can sometimes leave ptys owned by root
|
|
656 with a permission of 622. This causes malfunctions in use of
|
|
657 subprocesses of Emacs. Irix versions 4.0 and later with GNU Emacs
|
|
658 versions 18.59 and later fix this bug.
|
|
659
|
|
660 Masscomp (m68k-masscomp-rtu)
|
|
661
|
|
662 18.36 worked on a 5500DP running RTU v3.1a and compiler version 3.2
|
|
663 with minor fixes that are included in 18.37. However, bizarre behavior
|
|
664 was reported for 18.36 on a Masscomp (model and version unknown but probably
|
|
665 a 68020 system). The report sounds like a compiler bug.
|
|
666
|
|
667 A compiler bug affecting statements like
|
|
668 unsigned char k; unsigned char *p;... x = p[k];
|
|
669 has been reported for "C version 1.2 under RTU 3.1". We do not wish
|
|
670 to take the time to install the numerous workarounds required to
|
|
671 compensate for this bug.
|
|
672
|
|
673 For RTU version 3.1, define FIRST_PTY_LETTER to be 'p' in `src/s/rtu.h'
|
|
674 (or #undef and redefine it in config.h) so that ptys will be used.
|
|
675
|
|
676 GNU Emacs is said to have no chance of compiling on RTU versions
|
|
677 prior to v3.0.
|
|
678
|
|
679 Megatest (m68k-megatest-bsd)
|
|
680
|
|
681 Emacs 15 worked; do not have any reports about Emacs 16 or 17
|
|
682 but any new bugs are probably not difficult.
|
|
683
|
|
684 Mips (mips-mips-riscos, mips-mips-riscos4.0, or mips-mips-bsd)
|
|
685
|
|
686 The C compiler on Riscos 4.51 dumps core trying to optimize
|
|
687 parts of Emacs. Try without optimization or try GCC.
|
|
688
|
|
689 Meanwhile, the linker on that system returns success even if
|
|
690 there are undefined symbols; as a result, configure gets the
|
|
691 wrong answers to various questions. No work-around is known
|
|
692 except to edit src/config.h by hand to indicate which functions
|
|
693 don't exist.
|
|
694
|
|
695 Use mips-mips-riscos4.0 for RISCOS version 4.
|
|
696 Use mips-mips-bsd with the BSD world.
|
|
697
|
|
698 Note that the proper configuration names for DECstations are
|
|
699 mips-dec-ultrix and mips-dec-osf.
|
|
700
|
|
701 If you are compiling with GCC, then you must run fixincludes;
|
|
702 the alternative of using -traditional won't work because
|
|
703 the definition of SIGN_EXTEND_CHAR uses the keyword `signed'.
|
|
704

705 If the SYSV world is the default, then you probably need the following
|
|
706 line in etc/Makefile:
|
|
707
|
|
708 CFLAGS= -g -systype bsd43
|
|
709
|
|
710 Some operating systems on MIPS machines give SIGTRAP for division by
|
|
711 zero instead of the usual signals. The only real solution is to fix
|
|
712 the system to give a proper signal.
|
|
713
|
|
714 In the meantime, you can change init_data in data.c if you wish.
|
|
715 Change it to handle SIGTRAP as well as SIGFPE. But this will have a
|
|
716 great disadvantage: you will not be able to run Emacs under a
|
|
717 debugger. I think crashing on division by zero is a lesser problem.
|
|
718
|
|
719 dsg@mitre.org reported needing to use --x-libraries=/bsd43/usr/lib
|
|
720 on a riscos4bsd site. But it is not clear whether this is needed in
|
|
721 general or only because of quirks on a particular site.

723 National Semiconductor 32000 (ns32k-ns-genix)
|
|
724
|
|
725 This is for a complete machine from National Semiconductor,
|
|
726 running Genix. Changes merged in version 19.
|
|
727
|
|
728 NCR Tower 32 (m68k-ncr-sysv2 or m68k-ncr-sysv3)
|
|
729
|
|
730 If you are running System V release 2, use m68k-ncr-sysv2.
|
|
731 If you are running System V release 3, use m68k-ncr-sysv3.
|
|
732
|
|
733 These both worked as of 18.56. If you change `src/ymakefile' so that
|
|
734 CFLAGS includes C_OPTIMIZE_SWITCH rather than C_DEBUG_SWITCH, check
|
|
735 out the comments in `src/m/tower32.h' (for System V release 2) or
|
|
736 `src/m/tower32v3.h' (for System V release 3) about this.
|
|
737
|
|
738 There is a report that compilation with -O did not work with 18.54
|
|
739 under System V release 2.
|
|
740
|
|
741 NCR Intel system (i386-ncr-sysv4.2)
|
|
742
|
|
743 This system works in 19.31, but if you don't link it with GNU ld,
|
|
744 you may need to set LD_RUN_PATH at link time to specify where
|
|
745 to find the X libraries.
|
|
746
|
|
747 NeXT (m68k-next-nextstep)
|
|
748
|
|
749 Emacs 19 has not been tested extensively yet, but it seems to work
|
|
750 in a NeXTStep 3.0 terminal window, and under the X server called
|
|
751 co-Xist. You may need to specify -traditional when src/Makefile
|
|
752 builds xmakefile.
|
|
753
|
|
754 NeXT users might want to implement direct operation with NeXTStep,
|
|
755 but from the point of view of the GNU project, that is a
|
|
756 distraction.
|
|
757
|
|
758 Thanks to Thorsten Ohl for working on the NeXT port of Emacs 19.

760 Nixdorf Targon 31 (m68k-nixdorf-sysv)
|
|
761
|
|
762 Machine description file for version 17 is included in 18
|
|
763 but whether it works is not known.
|
|
764 `src/unexec.c' bombs if compiled with -O.
|
|
765 Note that the "Targon 35" is really a Pyramid.
|
|
766
|
|
767 Nu (TI or LMI) (m68k-nu-sysv)
|
|
768
|
|
769 Version 18 is believed to work.
|
|
770
|
|
771 Paragon OSF/1 (i860-intel-osf1)
|
|
772
|
|
773 Changes merged in 19.29.
|
|
774
|
|
775 There is a bug in OSF/1 make which claims there is a syntax error
|
|
776 in the src/xmakefile. You can successfully build emacs with:
|
|
777
|
|
778 pmake MAKE=pmake
|
|
779
|
|
780 Plexus (m68k-plexus-sysv)
|
|
781
|
|
782 Worked as of 17.56.
|

|
|
784 Pmax (DEC Mips) (mips-dec-ultrix or mips-dec-osf1)

790 Minor changes merged in 19.1.
|

791
|
|
792 Pyramid (pyramid-pyramid-bsd)
|
|
793
|
|
794 The 19.26 pretest was observed to work on OSx 5.0, but it is necessary
|
|
795 to edit gmalloc.c. You must add #include <sys/types.h> at the top,
|
|
796 and delete the #define for size_t.
|
|
797
|
|
798 You need to build Emacs in the Berkeley universe with
|
|
799 the `ucb' command, as in `ucb make' or `ucb build-install'.
|
|
800
|
|
801 In OSx 4.0, it seems necessary to add the following two lines
|
|
802 to `src/m/pyramid.h':
|
|
803 #define _longjmp longjmp
|
|
804 #define _setjmp setjmp
|
|
805
|
|
806 In Pyramid system 2.5 there has been a compiler bug making
|
|
807 Emacs crash just after screen-splitting with Qnil containing 0.
|
|
808 A compiler that fixes this is Pyramid customer number 8494,
|
|
809 internal number 1923.
|
|
810
|
|
811 Some versions of the pyramid compiler get fatal
|
|
812 errors when the -gx compiler switch is used; if this
|
|
813 happens to you, change `src/m/pyramid.h' to define
|
|
814 C_DEBUG_SWITCH with an empty definition.
|
|
815
|
|
816 Some old system versions may require you to define PYRAMID_OLD
|
|
817 in when alloca.s is preprocessed, in order to define _longjmp and _setjmp.
|
|
818
|
|
819 Sequent Balance (ns32k-sequent-bsd4.2 or ns32k-sequent-bsd4.3)
|
|
820
|
|
821 Emacs 18.51 worked on system version 3.0. 18.52 is said to work.
|
|
822 Delete some lines at the end of `src/m/sequent.h' for earlier system
|
|
823 versions.
|
|
824
|
|
825 Sequent Symmetry (i386-sequent-bsd, i386-sequent-ptx)
|
|
826
|
|
827 Emacs 19 should work on Dynix (BSD). However, if you compile with
|
|
828 the Sequent compiler, you may find Emacs does not restore the
|
|
829 terminal settings on exit. If this happens, compile with GCC.
|
|
830
|
|
831 Emacs 19.27 contains patches that should support
|
|
832 DYNIX/ptx 1.4 and 2.1 with the native cc compiler.
|
|
833
|
|
834 Gcc can't compile src/process.c due to a non-standard Sequent asm
|
|
835 keyword extension supported by cc and used for the network byte/word
|
|
836 swapping functions in the PTX /usr/include/netinet/in.h file. Gcc
|
|
837 2.5.8 includes the file <sys/byteorder.h> which can be included into
|
|
838 netinet/in.h to perform these byte/word swapping functions in the
|
|
839 same manner. Patches have been submitted to the FSF against gcc
|
|
840 2.6.0 to fix this problem and allow Emacs to be built with gcc.
|
|
841
|
|
842 If your machine does not have TCP/IP installed, you will have to edit the
|
|
843 src/s/ptx.h file and comment out #define TCPIP_INSTALLED.
|
|
844
|
|
845 Siemens Nixdorf RM600 and RM400 (mips-siemens-sysv4)
|
|
846
|
|
847 Changes merged in 19.29. This configuration should also work for
|
|
848 Pyramid MIS Server running DC-OSX 1.x. The version configured with
|
|
849 `--with-x' works without any modifications, but `--with-x-toolkit'
|
|
850 works only if the Athena library and the Toolkit library are linked
|
|
851 statically. For this, edit `src/Makefile' after the `configure' run
|
|
852 and modify the lines with `-lXaw' and `-lXt' as follows:
|
|
853
|
|
854 LIBW= /usr/lib/libXaw.a
|
|
855 LIBXT= $(LIBW) -lXmu /usr/lib/libXt.a $(LIBXTR6) -lXext

857 SONY News (m68k-sony-bsd4.2 or m68k-sony-bsd4.3)
|
|
858
|
|
859 18.52 worked. Use m68k-sony-bsd4.3 for system release 3.
|
|
860
|
|
861 SONY News 3000 series (RISC NEWS) (mips-sony-bsd)
|
|
862
|
|
863 The 19.26 pretest is reported to work.
|
|
864
|
|
865 Some versions of the operating system give SIGTRAP for division by zero
|
|
866 instead of the usual signals. This causes division by zero
|
|
867 to make Emacs crash. The system should be fixed to give the proper signal.
|
|
868 Changing Emacs is not a proper solution, because it would prevent
|
|
869 Emacs from working under any debugger. But you can change init_data
|
|
870 in data.c if you wish.
|
|
871
|
|
872 Stardent i860 (i860-stardent-sysv4.0)
|
|
873
|
|
874 19.26 pretest reported to work.
|
|
875
|
|
876 Stardent 1500 or 3000
|
|
877
|
|
878 See Titan.
|
|
879
|
|
880 Stride (m68k-stride-sysv)
|
|
881
|
|
882 Works (most recent news for 18.30) on their release 2.0.
|
|
883 For release 2.2, see the end of `src/m/stride.h'.
|
|
884 It may be possible to run on their V.1 system but changes
|
|
885 in the s- file would be needed.
|
|
886
|
|
887 Sun 3, Sun 4 (sparc), Sun 386 (m68k-sun-sunos, sparc-sun-sunos, i386-sun-sunos,
|
|
888 sparc-sun-sunos4shr, sparc-sun-solaris2.*,
|
|
889 i386-sun-solaris2.*)
|
|
890
|
|
891 19.26 is believed to work on Sparcs and Sun 3's. Some people report
|
|
892 that Emacs crashes immediately on startup when used with a non-X
|
|
893 terminal, but we think this is due to compiling with GCC and failing
|
|
894 to use GCC's "fixed" system header files.
|
|
895
|
|
896 Some Sun versions of X windows use the clipboard, not the selections,
|
|
897 for transferring text between clients. The Cut, Paste and Copy items
|
|
898 in the menu bar Edit menu work with the clipboard.
|
|
899
|
|
900 It's important to include the SunOS version number in the
|
|
901 configuration name. For example, for SunOS release 4.0 on a Sun 3,
|
|
902 use `m68k-sun-sunos4.0'; for SunOS release 4.1 on a Sparc, use
|
|
903 `sparc-sun-sunos4.1'. For SunOS release 4.1.3 on a Sparc, use
|
|
904 `sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3'. Use sunos4shr to link with shared libraries
|
|
905 on Sunos 4.1.
|
|
906
|
|
907 (FSF MACHINES file says use of shared libraries does not work with
|
|
908 X11R5 or X11R6 on Sunos 4 as of 19.26, but I think this does not
|
|
909 apply to XEmacs.)
|
|
910
|
|
911 Use `m68k' for the 68000-based Sun boxes, `sparc' for Sparcstations,
|
|
912 and `i386' for Sun Roadrunners. i386 calls for Sunos4.0.
|
|
913
|
|
914 Do not define the environment variable 'KEEP_STATE' while running
|
|
915 `configure'.
|
|
916
|
|
917 FSF MACHINES file says the following: (may not apply to XEmacs)
|
|
918
|
|
919 If you compile with Sun's ANSI compiler acc, you need additional options
|
|
920 when linking temacs, such as
|
|
921 /usr/lang/SC2.0.1/values-Xt.o -L/usr/lang/SC2.0.1/cg87 -L/usr/lang/SC2.0.1
|
|
922 (those should be added just before the libraries) and you need to
|
|
923 add -lansi just before -lc. The precise file names depend on the
|
|
924 compiler version, so we cannot easily arrange to supply them.
|
|
925
|
|
926 On SunOS 4.1.1, do not use /usr/5bin/cc. You can use gcc or/usr/bin/cc.
|
|
927 Make sure the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not defined.
|
|
928
|
|
929 Some people report crashes on SunOS 4.1.3 if SYSTEM_MALLOC is defined.
|
|
930 Others have reported that Emacs works if SYSTEM_MALLOC is defined, and not
|
|
931 if it is undefined. So far we do not know why results vary in this way.
|
|
932 The sources are set up so that SYSTEM_MALLOC is defined; if that crashes,
|
|
933 or if you want the benefit of the relocating memory allocator, you can
|
|
934 try enabling the #undef SYSTEM_MALLOC in src/s/sunos4-1-3.h.
|
|
935
|
|
936 On Solaris 2, you need to install patch 100947-02 to fix a system bug.
|
|
937 Presumably this patch comes from Sun. You must alter the definition of
|
|
938 LD_SWITCH_SYSTEM if your X11 libraries are not in /usr/openwin/lib.
|
|
939 You must make sure that /usr/ucblib is not in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
|
|
940
|
|
941 On Solaris 2.2, with a multiprocessor SparcCenter 1000, Emacs 19.17 is
|
|
942 reported to hang sometimes if it exits while it has one or more
|
|
943 subprocesses (e.g. the `wakeup' subprocess used by `display-time').
|
|
944 Emacs and its subprocesses become zombies, and in their zombie state
|
|
945 slow down their host and disable rlogin and telnet. This is most
|
|
946 likely due to a bug in Solaris 2.2's multiprocessor support,
|
|
947 rather than an Emacs bug.
|
|
948
|
|
949 On Solaris, do not use /usr/ucb/cc. Use /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc. Make
|
|
950 sure that /usr/ccs/bin and /opt/SUNWspro/bin are in your PATH before
|
|
951 /usr/ucb. (Most free software packages have the same requirement on
|
|
952 Solaris.)
|
|
953
|
|
954 If you have trouble using open-network-stream, get the distribution
|
|
955 of `bind' (the BSD name-server), build libresolv.a, and link Emacs
|
|
956 with -lresolv, by copying the #definition of LIBS_SYSTEM in
|
|
957 src/s/sunos4-1.h to src/config.h. This problem is due to obsolete
|
|
958 software in the nonshared standard library.
|
|
959
|
|
960 If you want to use SunWindows, define HAVE_SUN_WINDOWS
|
|
961 in config.h to enable a special interface called `emacstool'.
|
|
962 The definition must *precede* the #include "machine.h".
|
|
963 System version 3.2 is required for this facility to work.
|
|
964
|
|
965 We recommend that you instead use the X window system, which
|
|
966 has technical advantages, is an industry standard, and is also
|
|
967 free software. The FSF does not support the SunWindows code;
|
|
968 we installed it only on the understanding we would not let it
|
|
969 divert our efforts from what we think is important.
|
|
970
|
|
971 If you are compiling for X windows, and the X window library was
|
|
972 compiled to use the 68881, then you must edit config.h according
|
|
973 the comments at the end of `src/m/sun3.h'.
|
|
974
|
|
975 Note that Emacs on a Sun is not really as big as it looks.
|
|
976 As dumped, it includes around 200k of zeros between the
|
|
977 original text section and the original data section
|
|
978 (now remapped as part of the text). These are never
|
|
979 swapped in.
|
|
980
|
|
981 To build a single Emacs that will run on Sun 2 and Sun 3
|
|
982 HARDWARE, just build it on the Sun 2.
|
|
983
|
|
984 On Sunos 4.1.3, the word is that Emacs can loop infinitely
|
|
985 on startup with X due perhaps to a bug in Sunos. Installing all of
|
|
986 these Sun patches fixes the problem. We don't know which of them
|
|
987 are really relevant.

1008
|

1009 18.52 was known to work on some Tahoes, but a compiler bug intervenes

1011 (not in 1r3) and CCI I.21.
|
|
1012
|

1042 Changes merged in 18.52; don't know whether they work.
|
|
1043
|
|
1044 Vaxen running Berkeley Unix (vax-dec-bsd4.1, vax-dec-bsd4.2, vax-dec-bsd4.3),
|
|
1045 Ultrix (vax-dec-ultrix),
|
|
1046 System V (vax-dec-sysv0, vax-dec-sysv2), or
|
|
1047 VMS (vax-dec-vms)
|
|
1048
|
|
1049 Works.
|
|
1050
|
|
1051 See under Ultrix for problems using X windows on Ultrix (vax-dec-ultrix).
|
|
1052
|
|
1053 18.27 worked on System V rel 2 (vax-dec-sysv2).
|
|
1054
|
|
1055 18.36 worked on System V rel 0 (vax-dec-sysv0).
|
|
1056
|
|
1057 Richard Levitte <levitte@e.kth.se> distributes a set of patches to
|
|
1058 Emacs 18.59 to make it work nicely under VMS. Emacs 19 probably
|
|
1059 won't work very well, or even compile. Levitte is working on a
|
|
1060 port, so these problems should be fixed in the near future.
|
|
1061
|
|
1062 Whitechapel MG1 (ns16k-whitechapel-?)
|
|
1063
|
|
1064 May work. Supposedly no changes were needed except in `src/m/mg1.h'
|
|
1065 file. I do not know what Unix version runs on them.
|
|
1066
|
|
1067 Wicat (m68k-wicat-sysv)
|
|
1068
|
|
1069 Changes merged as of 18.6; whether they work is unknown.
|
|
1070 See comments in `src/m/wicat.h' for things you should change
|
|
1071 depending on the system and compiler version you have.
|
|
1072
|
|
1073 Here are notes about some of the systems supported:
|
|
1074
|
|
1075 Berkeley 4.1 (bsd4.1)
|
|
1076
|
|
1077 Works on vaxes.
|
|
1078
|
|
1079 Berkeley 4.2 (bsd4.2)
|
|
1080
|
|
1081 Works on several machines.
|
|
1082
|
|
1083 Berkeley 4.3 (bsd4.3)
|
|
1084
|
|
1085 Works, on Vaxes at least.
|
|
1086
|
|
1087 Esix
|
|
1088
|
|
1089 The following was written for Emacs 18.59 and has been
|
|
1090 slightly adapted for Emacs 19. It may need more change to be correct.
|
|
1091
|
|
1092 Use s/usg5-4.h for Esix System V 4.0.[34] systems if you also have
|
|
1093 XFree86. If you insist on using the Esix X Window libraries, good
|
|
1094 luck. s/esix5r4.h provides a starting point, but doesn't seem to
|
|
1095 work consistently. The basic problems involve the need to load
|
|
1096 -lX11 *last* in the link command, and even then some things break.
|
|
1097 You get best results by installing XFree86 and forgetting about the
|
|
1098 Esix stuff unless you want to run IXI xdt3, which really only needs
|
|
1099 the Esix X11 shared libraries.
|
|
1100
|
|
1101 To compile with XFree86, make sure that your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
|
|
1102 contains /usr/X386/lib. Be careful if you also have the Esix X
|
|
1103 Window libraries that /usr/X386/lib appears *first* in the
|
|
1104 LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Then define C_SWITCH_X_SYSTEM -I/usr/X386/include.
|
|
1105
|
|
1106 Microport
|
|
1107
|
|
1108 See under "Intel 386".
|
|
1109
|
|
1110 SCO Unix
|
|
1111 If you have TCP but not X, you need to edit src/s/sco4.h
|
|
1112 to define HAVE_SOCKETS.
|
|
1113
|
|
1114 If you are using MMDF instead of sendmail, you need to remove
|
|
1115 /usr/lib/sendmail or modify lisp/paths.el before compiling.
|
|
1116 lisp/paths.el (which is loaded during the build) will attempt to use
|
|
1117 sendmail if it exists.
|
|
1118
|
|
1119 If you are using SMAIL, you need to define the macro
|
|
1120 SMAIL in config.h.
|
|
1121
|
|
1122 System V rel 0 (usg5.0)
|
|
1123
|
|
1124 Works, on Vaxes and 3bxxx's.
|
|
1125 There are some problems in 18.37 due to shortnames/cccp problems:
|
|
1126 use the emacs 17 cpp if you have it.
|
|
1127
|
|
1128 System V rel 2 (usg5.2)
|
|
1129
|
|
1130 Works on various machines.
|
|
1131 On some (maybe all) machines the library -lPW exists and contains
|
|
1132 a version of `alloca'. On these machines, to use it, put
|
|
1133 #define HAVE_ALLOCA
|
|
1134 #define LIB_STANDARD -lPW -lc
|
|
1135 in the `src/m/MACHINENAME.h' file for the machine.
|
|
1136
|
|
1137 If you find that the character Meta-DEL makes Emacs crash,
|
|
1138 find where function init_sys_modes in sysdep.c sets sg.c_cc[VQUIT]
|
|
1139 and make it store 7 there. I have as yet no evidence of whether
|
|
1140 this problem, known in HP/UX, exists in other system V versions.
|
|
1141
|
|
1142 System V rel 2.2 (usg5.2.2)
|
|
1143
|
|
1144 In 5.2.2 AT&T undid, incompatibly, their previous incompatible
|
|
1145 change to the way the nlist library is called. A different s- file
|
|
1146 is used to enable the other interface.
|
|
1147
|
|
1148 They call themselves the right choice--can't they choose?
|
|
1149
|
|
1150 Emacs version 18 unexec is currently not working properly
|
|
1151 on 5.2.2. Nobody knows why yet. A workaround is to define
|
|
1152 NO_REMAP. It is not yet known whether this applies to all
|
|
1153 machines running 5.2.2.
|
|
1154
|
|
1155 System V rel 3 (usg5.3)
|
|
1156
|
|
1157 Some versions of this system support ptys and BSD-style sockets.
|
|
1158 On such systems, you should define HAVE_PTYS and HAVE_SOCKETS in config.h.
|
|
1159
|
|
1160 If you want to link Emacs with shared libraries, define
|
|
1161 USG_SHARED_LIBRARIES.
|
|
1162
|
|
1163 You may have to add ANSI idempotence #-lines to your sys/types.h
|
|
1164 file to get Emacs to compile correctly. This may be necessary on
|
|
1165 other pre-ANSI systems as well.
|
|
1166
|
|
1167 On an AT&T 6386WGS using System V Release 3.2 and X11R3, the X support
|
|
1168 cannot be made to work. Whether or not the GNU relocating malloc is
|
|
1169 used, the symptom is that the first call Emacs makes to sbrk(0) returns
|
|
1170 (char *)-1. Sorry, you're stuck with character-only mode. Try
|
|
1171 installing Xfree86 to fix this.
|
|
1172
|
|
1173 System V rel 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 (usg5.4)
|
|
1174
|
|
1175 Supported, including shared libraries for ELF, but ptys do not work
|
|
1176 because TIOCGPGRP fails to work on ptys (but Dell 2.2 seems to have
|
|
1177 fixed this). This failure is probably due to a misunderstanding of
|
|
1178 the consequences of the POSIX spec: many system designers mistakenly
|
|
1179 think that POSIX requires this feature to fail. This is untrue;
|
|
1180 ptys are an extension, and POSIX says that extensions *when used*
|
|
1181 may change the action of standard facilities in any fashion.
|
|
1182
|
|
1183 If you get compilation errors about wrong number of
|
|
1184 arguments to getpgrp, define GETPGRP_NO_ARG.
|
|
1185
|
|
1186 The standard C preprocessor may generate xmakefile incorrectly. However,
|
|
1187 /lib/cpp will work, so use `make CPP=/lib/cpp'. Standard cpp
|
|
1188 seems to work OK under Dell 2.2.
|
|
1189
|
|
1190 Some versions 3 and earlier of V.4, on the Intel 386 and 860, had
|
|
1191 problems in the X11 libraries. These prevent Emacs from working
|
|
1192 with X. You can use Emacs with X provided your copy of X is based
|
|
1193 on X11 release 4 or newer, or is Dell's 2.2 (which is a 4.0.3).
|
|
1194 Unfortunately, the only way you can tell whether your X11 library is
|
|
1195 new enough is to try compiling Emacs to use X. If emacs runs, your
|
|
1196 X11 library is new enough.
|
|
1197
|
|
1198 In this context, GSV4 and GSV4i are alternate names for X11R4.
|
|
1199 OL2.* is X11R3 based. OL3 is in between X11R3 and X11R4, and may or
|
|
1200 may not work, depending on who made the Unix system. If the library
|
|
1201 libXol is part of the X distribution, then you have X11R3 and Emacs
|
|
1202 won't work with X.
|
|
1203
|
|
1204 Most versions of V.4 support sockets. If `/usr/lib/libsocket.so'
|
|
1205 exists, your system supports them. If yours does not, you must add
|
|
1206 #undef HAVE_SOCKETS in config.h, after the inclusion of s-usg5-4.h.
|
|
1207 (Any system that supports Internet should implement sockets.)
|
|
1208
|
|
1209 Ultrix (bsd4.3)
|
|
1210
|
|
1211 Recent versions of Ultrix appear to support the features of Berkeley 4.3.
|
|
1212 Ultrix was at the BSD 4.2 level for a long time after BSD 4.3 came out.
|
|
1213
|
|
1214 Ultrix 3.0 has incompatibilities in its X library if you have the
|
|
1215 Ultrix version of X (UWS version 2.0). To solve them, you need to
|
|
1216 prevent XvmsAlloc.o in Xlib from being used. Israel Pinkas says:
|
|
1217
|
|
1218 I added the following lines to config.h after the X defines:
|
|
1219
|
|
1220 #if defined(ultrix) && defined(X11)
|
|
1221 #define OBJECTS_SYSTEM calloc.o
|
|
1222 #endif
|
|
1223
|
|
1224 Then I ran the following:
|
|
1225
|
|
1226 ar x /usr/lib/libc.a calloc.o
|
|
1227
|
|
1228 The problem is said to be gone in UWS version 2.1.
|
|
1229
|
|
1230 Uniplus 5.2 (unipl5.2)
|
|
1231
|
|
1232 Works, on Dual machines at least.
|
|
1233
|
|
1234 VMS (vmsM.N)
|
|
1235
|
|
1236 Richard Levitte <levitte@e.kth.se> distributes a set of patches to
|
|
1237 Emacs 18.59 to make it work nicely under VMS. Emacs 19 probably
|
|
1238 won't work very well, or even compile. Levitte is working on a
|
|
1239 port, so these problems should be fixed in the near future.
|
|
1240
|
|
1241 Note that Emacs for VMS is usually distributed in a special VMS
|
|
1242 distribution. See the file ../vms/VMSINSTALL for info on moving
|
|
1243 Unix distributions to VMS, and other VMS-related topics.
|
|
1244
|
|
1245 Xenix (xenix)
|
|
1246
|
|
1247 Should work in 18.50, but you will need to edit the files
|
|
1248 `lib-src/Makefile' and `src/ymakefile'
|
|
1249 (see the comments that mention "Xenix" for what to change.)
|
|
1250 Compiling Emacs with -O is said not to work.
|
|
1251
|
|
1252 If you want Emacs to work with Smail (installed as /usr/bin/smail)
|
|
1253 then add the line #define SMAIL to config.h.
|
|
1254
|
|
1255 The file etc/XENIX suggests some useful things to do to Xenix
|
|
1256 to make the Emacs meta key work.
|
|
1257
|
|
1258 Local variables:
|
|
1259 mode: indented-text
|
|
1260 fill-prefix: " "
|
|
1261 End:
|
