7This is a list of the status of GNU Emacs on various machines and systems.
8
9For each system and machine, we give the configuration name you should
10pass to the `configure' script to prepare to build Emacs for that
11system/machine.
12
13The `configure' script uses the configuration name to decide which
14machine and operating system description files `src/config.h' should
15include. The machine description files are all in `src/m', and have
16names similar to, but not identical to, the machine names used in
17configuration names. The operating system files are all in `src/s',
18and are named similarly. See the `configure' script if you need to
19know which configuration names use which machine and operating system
20description files.
21
22If you add support for a new configuration, add a section to this
23file, and then edit the `configure' script to tell it which
24configuration name(s) should select your new machine description and
25system description files.
26
27\f
28Here are the configurations Emacs is intended to work with, with the
29corresponding configuration names. You can postpend version numbers
30to operating system names (i.e. sunos4.1) or architecture names (i.e.
31hppa1.1). If you leave out the version number, the `configure' script
32will configure Emacs for the latest version it knows about.
33
34Acorn RISCiX (arm-acorn-riscix1.2)
35
36 Emacs 19.29 has changes that ought to support RISCiX 1.2.
37
38 Due to a bug in the RISCiX C compiler (3.4.5), emacs must
39 be built with gcc (versions 2.5.8 onwards).
40
41 In addition, you will need GNU sed and GNU make, as the RISCiX release
42 versions of these utilities cannot cope with building emacs-19!
43
44 GNU sed should be configured with:
45
46 env 'DEFS=-Dgetopt=gnu_getopt -Dopterr=gnu_opterr -Doptind=gnu_optind \
47 -Doptarg=gnu_optarg' ./configure
48
49 GNU make (3.72+) should be configured with:
50
51 env 'CFLAGS=-Dgetopt=gnu_getopt -Dopterr=gnu_opterr -Doptind=gnu_optind \
52 -Doptarg=gnu_optarg' ./configure
53
54 Emacs may be configured to use the X toolkit, by adding --with-x-toolkit
55 to the configure command. If you do this, you will need to edit the line
56 in src/Makefile which defines LIBW (about line 59) to read:
57
58 LIBW= -lXaw_n
59
60 This ensures that the non-shared widget library is used.
61
62 It is unlikely that this version of emacs will work with RISCiX 1.1.
63
64Alliant (fx80-alliant-bsd):
65
66 18.52 worked on system version 4. Previous Emacs versions were
67 known to work on previous system versions.
68
69 If you are using older versions of their operating system, you may
70 need to edit `src/config.h' to use `m/alliant1.h' (on version 1) or
71 `m/alliant.h' (on versions 2 and 3).
72
73Alliant FX/2800 (i860-alliant-bsd)
74
75 Known to work with 19.26 and OS version 2.2, compiler version 1.3.
76
77Alpha (DEC) running OSF/1 or GNU/Linux (alpha-dec-osf1, alpha-dec-linux-gnu)
78
79 For OSF/1 (aka Digital Unix) version 4.0, update 386,
80 it is reported that you need to run configure this way:
81
82 configure --x-includes=/usr/include --x-libraries=/usr/shlib
83
538af1cd
EZ
84 DEC C compiler version 5.9 (DEC C V5.9-005 on Digital UNIX V4.0f)
85 is reported to produce bogus binaries of Emacs 21.2 when the
86 command-line switches "-O4 -arch ev6 -tune ev6" are used. Using
87 just -O4 produces a good executable.
88
f4b79972
EZ
89 For 4.0 revision 564, and 4.0A and 4.0B, Emacs 20 seems to work
90 with no special configuration options. However, if you use GCC as
91 your compiler, you will need version 2.8.1 or later, as older
92 versions fail to build with a message "Invalid dimension for the
93 charset-ID 160".
94
95 Note that the X11 libraries on GNU/Linux systems for the Alpha are
96 said to have bugs that prevent Emacs from working with X (as of
97 November 1995). Recent releases work (July 2000).
98
99Altos 3068 (m68k-altos-sysv)
100
101 18.52 was said to work, provided you don't compile unexec.c with -O.
102
103Amdahl UTS (580-amdahl-sysv)
104
105 Small changes for 18.38 were merged in 18.39. It is mostly
106 working, but at last report a bug sometimes causes Emacs to
107 grab very large amounts of memory. No fix or explanation
108 has yet been reported. It may be possible to find this bug
109 if you find which Emacs command it happens within and then
110 run that command with a breakpoint set at malloc.
111
112 The 5.2u370 compiler is so brain damaged that it is not
113 even worth trying to use it. Success was obtained with the
114 uts native C compiler on uts version 5.2.5.

121Apple PowerPC Macintosh running GNU/Linux
122
123 There are special considerations for a variety of this system which
723718ff 124 is known as the ``Yellow Dog [GNU/]Linux'': Emacs may crash during
9ff069a5
EZ
125 dumping. To solve this, edit the header file src/m/macppc.h in the
126 Emacs distribution, and remove the "#if 0" and "#endif" directives
127 which surround the following block near the end of the file:
128
178b60d7 129 #if 0 /* This breaks things on PPC GNU/Linux except for Yellowdog,
9ff069a5
EZ
130 even with identical GCC, as, ld. Let's take it out until we
131 know what's really going on here. */
132 /* GCC 2.95 and newer on GNU/Linux PPC changed the load address to
133 0x10000000. */
134 #if defined __linux__
135 #if __GNUC__ > 2 || (__GNUC__ == 2 && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 95)
136 #define DATA_SEG_BITS 0x10000000
137 #endif
138 #endif
139 #endif /* 0 */
140
141 After that, reconfigure and rebuild Emacs. It should now build
142 successfully.
143
f4b79972

144Apollo running X Windows (m68k-apollo-bsd)
145
146 Apollo version now supports dumping. It has been tested on SR10.3 and
147 SR10.4. It certainly requires at least SR10.0, and maybe SR10.2. Be sure
148 to build in the BSD environment.
149
150 By default, everything is compiled with the switch "-W0,-opt,2". Don't try
151 to change this to full optimization (-O). The full optimizer (in Domain CC
152 6.7, 6.8 and 6.9) generates some bad code in several modules which causes
153 the emacs window, under X, to be refreshed with each keystroke.
154
155 The configuration stuff should work for the most part. However, some Domain
156 installations may have to edit src/Makefile manually after it is created.
157 There are too many versions of both cc and X to automate this easily.
158
178b60d7
GM
159 In `lib-src/Makefile', emacsclient compiles and works fine under CC 6.9.
160 It now probably works under other versions of the compiler, as well.
f4b79972
EZ
161
162 The Apollo Domain CC compiler will issue quite a few warning messages,
163 mostly complaining about incompatible pointers. In general, these are
164 harmless and can be ignored. If you discover otherwise, please submit a bug
165 report identifying the problem in detail.
166
167 When you try to dump emacs, you may get the message ".rwdi section needs
168 relocation." This means you are linking with some code that has compressed
169 data sections. In some cases this comes from linking with X libraries. Try
170 using shared X libraries instead. With some versions of Domain/OS this is
c60ee5e7
JB
171 as simple as removing the "-lX11" from the LIBX line in src/Makefile.
172
f4b79972
EZ
173 When running the configure script, use the configuration name
174 "m68k-apollo-bsd". You will also need to use the "-with-gcc=no" and
175 "-with-x" options. Depending upon your site configuration, you may have to
176 use other configure options, as well. Examine the INSTALL file for other
177 configure options.
178
179 Check out the file 'lisp/x-apollo.el'. To use it, add
180
181 (load "x-apollo")
182
183 to your .emacs file. It provides useful default Apollo function key
184 bindings.
185
186AT&T 3b2, 3b5, 3b15, 3b20 (we32k-att-sysv)
187
c60ee5e7 188 Emacs will probably not work with certain kernel constants too small.
f4b79972 189
c60ee5e7 190 In param.h CDLIMIT should be at least (1L << 12) in order to allow
f4b79972
EZ
191 processes to write up to 2 Mbyte files. This parameter is configurable
192 by normal means in /etc/master.d/kernel; examine that file for the
193 symbol CDLIMIT or ULIMIT, and raise it by several powers of 2. Then
194 do normal kernel rebuild things via "cd /boot; mkboot -k KERNEL" and so
195 forth.
196
197 In seg.h NSEGP and STACKSEG should be at least 16 and 4 respectively
198 to allow processes with total size of up to 2Mbytes.
199 However, I'm told it is unlikely this would fail to be true.
200
201 The MAXMEM may also prevent Emacs from running. The file
202 3B-MAXMEM in this directory explains how to increase MAXMEM.
203
204 On some of these machines, you may need to define IN_SCCS_ID
205 in config.h to make Emacs work. Supposedly you can tell whether
206 this is necessary by checking something in /usr/include/sys/time.h;
207 we do not know precisely what.
208
209AT&T 7300 or 3b1 (m68k-att-sysv)
210
211 18.52 worked. If you have strange troubles with dumping
212 Emacs, delete the last few lines from `src/m/7300.h' and recompile.
213 These lines are supposed to produce a sharable executable.
214
215 `src/m/7300.h' defines SHORTNAMES because operating system versions
216 older than 3.5 did not support long symbol names. Version 3.5 does
217 support them, so you can remove the #define SHORTNAMES in that
218 version.
219
220Bull DPX/2 models 2nn or 3nn (m68k-bull-sysv3)
221
222 Minor fixes merged into 19.19, which should work with CC or GCC.
223
224 You should compile with all the POSIX stuff: undef _SYSV and define
225 _POSIX_SOURCE, _XOPEN_SOURCE and _BULL_SOURCE.
226
227 On bos2.00.45 there is a bug that makes the F_SETOWN fcntl
c60ee5e7 228 call enters in an infinite loop. F_SETOWN_BUG has been defined to avoid
f4b79972
EZ
229 calling it.
230
231Bull DPX/20 (rs6000-bull-bosx)
232
233 Version 19 works.
234
235Bull sps7 (m68k-bull-sysv2)
236
237 Changes partially merged in version 19, but some fixes are probably required.
238
239CCI 5/32, 6/32
240
241 See "Tahoe".
242
243Celerity (celerity-celerity-bsd4.2)
244
245 Version 18.49 worked. This configuration name is a hack, because we
246 don't know the processor used by Celerities. If someone
247 who uses a Celerity could get in touch with us, we can teach
248 config.sub a better name for the configuration.
249
250Clipper (clipper-???)
251
252 Version 19 has support for some brand of clipper system. If you
253 have successfully built Emacs 19 on some sort of clipper system, let
254 us know so we can flesh out this entry.
255
256 Note that the Orion 105 is also a clipper, but some system-related
257 parameters are different.
258
259Convex (c1-convex-bsd, c2-convex-bsd, c32-convex-bsd, c34-convex-bsd,
260 c38-convex-bsd)
261
262 Support updated and residual bugs fixed in 19.26.
263
264Cubix QBx/386 (i386-cubix-sysv)
265
266 Changes merged in 19.1. Systems before 2/A/0 may fail to compile etags.c
267 due to a compiler bug.
268
269Cydra 5 (cydra-cydrome-sysv)
270
271 18.51 worked in one version of their operating system but stopped
272 working in a newer version. This has not been fixed.
273
274Data General Aviion (m88k-dg-dgux)
275
276 19.23 works; however, the GCC provided with DGUX 5.4R3.00 fails to
277 compile src/emacs.c. GCC 2.5.8 does work.
278 The 19.26 pretest was reported to work; no word on which compiler.
279 System versions other than DGUX 5.4R3.00 have not been tested.
280
281 DGUX 5.4R3.10 works with 19.29 and 19.30.
c60ee5e7 282
f4b79972
EZ
283 DGUX R4.11 contains changes to the stdio internals and it doesn't work
284 with versions before 20.2 without patches. 20.2 works in interactive
285 mode but usually fails in batch mode. The problem is that using
286 stderr in the dumped emacs usually leads to a segmentation fault.
287 Only m88k has been tested.
288
289DECstation (mips-dec-ultrix or mips-dec-osf)
290
291 This machine is the older Mips-based DECstation.
292 Emacs should now work on the Alpha CPU.
293
294 19.25 works on Ultrix 4.2. The 19.26 pretest was reported to work
295 on Ultrix 4.2a and on 4.4.
296
297 One user reported 19.25 did not work at all with --with-x-toolkit
298 using X11R5 patch level 10, but worked ok with X11R5 pl26.
299
300 See under Ultrix for problems using X windows on Ultrix.
301 Note that this is a MIPS machine.
302
303 For Ultrix versions 4.1 or earlier, you may need to define
304 SYSTEM_MALLOC in `src/m/pmax.h', because XvmsAlloc.o in libX11.a seems
305 to insist on defining malloc itself.
306
307 For Ultrix versions prior to 4.0, you may need to delete
308 the definition of START_FILES from `src/m/pmax.h'.
309
310Motorola Delta 147 (m68k-motorola-sysv)
311
312 The EMacs 19.26 pretest was reported to work.
313
314 Motorola Delta boxes running System V/68 release 3.
315 Tested on 147 board with SVR3V7, no X and gcc.
316 Tested on 167 board with SVR3V7, no X, cc, gnucc and gcc.
317 Reports say it works with X too.
318
319 The installation script chooses the compiler itself. gnucc is
320 preferred.
321
322Motorola Delta 187 (m88k-motorola-sysv,
323 m88k-motorola-sysvr4, or
324 m88k-motorola-m88kbcs)
325
326 The 19.26 pretest was reported to run on SVR3. However, if you
327 use --with-x-toolkit on svr3, you will have problems compiling some
328 files because time.h and sys/time.h get included twice.
329 One fix is to edit those files to protect against multiple inclusion.
330
331 As of version 19.13, Emacs was reported to run under SYSVr3 and SYSVr4.
c60ee5e7 332

EZ
333Dual running System V (m68k-dual-sysv)
334
335 As of 17.46, this worked except for a few changes
336 needed in unexec.c.
337
338Dual running Uniplus (m68k-dual-uniplus)
339
340 Worked, as of 17.51.
341
342Elxsi 6400 (elxsi-elxsi-sysv)
343
344 Changes for 12.0 release are in 19.1.
345 Dumping should work now.
346
347Encore machine (ns16k-encore-bsd)
348
349 This machine bizarrely uses 4.2BSD modified to use the COFF format
350 for object files. Works (as of 18.40). For the APC processor you
351 must enable two lines at the end of `src/s/umax.h', which are commented
352 out in the file as distributed.
353
354 WARNING: If you compile Emacs with the "-O" compiler switch, you
355 must also use the "-q enter_exits" switch so that all functions have
356 stack frames. Otherwise routines that call `alloca' all lose.
357
358 A kernel bug in some system versions causes input characters to be lost
359 occasionally.
360
361Fujitsu DS/90 (sparc-fujitsu-sysv4)
362
363 Changes merged in 20.3.
364
365GEC 63 (local-gec63-usg5.2)
366
367 Changes are partially merged in version 18, but certainly require
368 more work. Let us know if you get this working, and we'll give it a
369 real configuration name.
370
371Gould Power Node (pn-gould-bsd4.2 or pn-gould-bsd4.3)
372
373 18.36 worked on versions 1.2 and 2.0 of the operating system.
374
375 On UTX/32 2.0, use pn-gould-bsd4.3.
376
377 On UTX/32 1.2 and UTX/32S 1.0, use pn-gould-bsd4.2 and note that
378 compiling `lib-src/sorted-doc' tickles a compiler bug: remove the -g
379 flag to cc in the makefile.
380
c60ee5e7 381 UTX/32 1.3 has a bug in the bcopy library routine. Fix it by
f4b79972
EZ
382 #undef BSTRING in `src/m/gould.h'.
383
384 Version 19 incorporates support for releases 2.1 and later of UTX/32.
385 A site running a pre-release of 2.1 should #define RELEASE2_1 in config.h.
386
387Gould NP1 (np1-gould-bsd)
388
389 Version 19 supposedly works.
390
391Harris Night Hawk (m68k-harris-cxux or m88k-harris-cxux)
392
393 This port was added in 19.23. The configuration actually tested was
394 a Night Hawk 4800 running CX/UX 7.0.
395
396 If you have GCC ported and want to build with it, you probably need to
397 change things (like compiler switches) defined in the s/cxux.h file.
398
399 If you have X11R6 installed in /usr/lib, configure will fail to find
400 it and may find X11R5 instead. To work around this problem, use
401 --x-libraries=/usr/lib when you run configure.
402
403 With CX/UX 7.0 and later releases, you need to build after setting the
404 SDE_TARGET environment variable to COFF (a port using ELF and shared
405 libraries has not yet been done).
406
407Harris Power PC (powerpc-harris-powerunix)
408
409 Patches have been merged in 19.31.
410
411Honeywell XPS100 (xps100-honeywell-sysv)
412
413 Config file added in version 19.
414
415Hewlett-Packard 9000 series 200 or 300 (m68k-hp-bsd or m68k-hp-hpux
416 or m68k-hp-netbsd)
417
418 These machines are 68000-series CPUs running HP/UX
419 (a derivative of sysV with some BSD features) or BSD 4.3 ported by Utah.
420 The operating system suffix determines which system Emacs is built for.
421
422 Series 200 HPUX runs Emacs only if it has the "HP/UX upgrade".
423
424 Version 19 works under BSD. The 19.26 pretest was reported
425 to work on HPUX 9. 19.31 works on HPUX 10.01, but there are
426 some problems on 10.10 which have not been resolved. Emacs 19.34
427 works on HPUX 10.20 provided you compile with GCC; with the HP C
428 compiler, subprocess commands do not work.
c60ee5e7 429
f4b79972
EZ
430 On HPUX 9, Emacs sometimes crashes with SIGBUS or SIGSEGV after you
431 delete a frame. We think this is due to a bug in the X libraries
432 provided by HP. With the alternative X libraries in
433 /usr/contrib/mitX11R5/lib, the problem does not happen.
434
435 If you are running HP/UX release 8.0 or later, you need the optional
436 "C/ANSI C" software in order to build Emacs (older releases of HP/UX
437 do not require any special software). If the file "/etc/filesets/C"
438 exists on your machine, you have this software, otherwise you do not.
439
440 Note that HP has used two incompatible assembler syntaxes,
441 and has recently changed the format of C function frames.
442 `src/crt0.c' and `src/alloca.s' have been conditionalised for the new
443 assembler and new function-entry sequence. You may need to define
444 OLD_HP_ASSEMBLER if you are using an older hpux version. If you
445 have an official (bought from HP) series 300 machine you have
446 the new assembler. Kernels that are 5.+ or later have new
447 assembler. A Series 200 that has been upgraded to a 68010
448 processor and a 5.+ kernel has the new compiler.
449
450 Define C_SWITCH_MACHINE to be +X to make a version of Emacs that
451 runs on both 68010 and 68020 based HP/UX's.
452
453 Define HPUX_68010 if you are using the new assembler, for
454 a system that has a 68010 without a 68881. This is to say,
455 a s200 (upgraded) or s310.
456
457 Define the symbol HPUX_NET if you have the optional network features
458 that include the `netunam' system call. This is referred to as
459 Network Services (NS/9000) in HP literature.
460
461HP 9000 series 500: not supported.
462
463 The series 500 has a seriously incompatible memory architecture
464 which relocates data in memory during execution of a program,

469
470 Use hppa1.1 for the 700 series and hppa1.0 for the 800
471 series machines. (Emacs may not actually care which one you use.)
472
473 Support for NextSTEP was added in 19.31.

475 Emacs 20 may work on HPUX 10. You need patch PHSS_6202 to install
476 the Xaw and Xmu libraries. On HPUX 10.20 you may need to compile with GCC;
477 when Emacs was compiled with HP's C compiler, HP92453-01 A.10.32.03,
478 the subprocess features failed to work.
479
480 19.26 is believed to work on HPUX 9 provided you compile with GCC.
481 As of version 19.16, Emacs was reported to build (using GCC) and run
482 on HP 9000/700 series machines running HP/UX versions 8.07 and 9.01.
483 The HP compiler is known to fail on some versions if you use +O3,
484 but it may work with lower optimization levels.
485
486 Use hppa1.1-hp-hpux9shr to use shared libraries on HPUX version 9.
487 You may need to create the X libraries libXaw.a and libXmu.a from
488 the MIT X distribute, and you may need to edit src/Makefile's
489 definition of LIBXT to look like this:
490
491 LIBXT= $(LIBW) -lXmu -lXt $(LIBXTR6) -lXext
492
493 Some people report trouble using the GNU memory allocator under
494 HP/UX version 9. The problems often manifest as lots of ^@'s in the
495 buffer.

497 We are told that these problems go away if you obtain the latest
498 patches for the HP/UX C compiler. James J Dempsey
499 <jjd@spserv.bbn.com> says that this set of versions works for him:
500 /bin/cc:

505 Ucode Code Generator - HP-UX.09.00.23.5 (patch) 2/18/93
506
507 For 700 series machines, the HP-UX patch needed is known as
508 PHSS_2653. (Perhaps for 800 series machines as well; we don't
509 know.) If you are on the Internet, you should be able to obtain
510 this patch by using telnet to access the machine
511 support.mayfield.hp.com and logging in as "hpslreg" and following
512 the instructions there. Or you may be able to use this
513 web site:

518 Please do not ask FSF for further support on this. If you have any
519 trouble obtaining the patch, contact HP Software Support.
520
521 If your buffer fills up with nulls (^@) at some point, it could well
522 be that problem. That problem does not happen when people use GCC
523 to compile Emacs. On the other hand, the HP compiler version 9.34
524 was reported to work for the 19.26 pretest. 9.65 was also reported to work.
525
526 If you turn on the DSUSP character (delayed suspend),
527 Emacs 19.26 does not know how to turn it off on HPUX.
528 You need to turn it off manually.
529
530 If you are running HP/UX release 8.0 or later, you need the optional
531 "C/ANSI C" software in order to build Emacs (older releases of HP/UX
532 do not require any special software). If the file "/etc/filesets/C"
533 exists on your machine, you have this software, otherwise you do not.

583 At last report, Emacs didn't run well on terminals. Informed
584 persons say that the tty VMIN and VTIME settings have been
585 corrupted; if you have a fix, please send it to us.
586
587 Compiling with -O using the IBM compiler has been known
588 to make Emacs work incorrectly. It's reported that on
589 AIX 3.2.5 with an IBM compiler earlier than 1.03.00.14,
590 cc -O fails for some files. You need to install any
591 PTF containing APAR #IX42810 to bring the compiler to
592 the 1.03.00.14 level to allow optimized compiles.
593
594 There are reports that IBM compiler versions earlier than 1.03.00.02
595 fail even without -O. However, another report said that compiler
596 version 1.02.01.00 did work, on AIX 3.2.4, with Emacs 19.31.
597
598 As of 19.11, if you strip the Emacs executable, it ceases to work.
599
600 If you are using AIX 3.2.3, you may get a core dump when loading
601 ange-ftp. You may be able to fix the problem by defining LIBS_TERMCAP
602 as -ltermcap -lcurses. Please tell us if this fails to work.

636 On recent system versions, you may need to undefine the macro UMAX
637 in `lib-src/loadst.c' and `src/getpagesize.h'. They stupidly defined this

639 indicates the Umax operating system).

665 On GNU/Linux systems, Emacs 19.23 was said to work properly with libc
666 version 4.5.21, but not with 4.5.19. If your system uses QMAGIC
667 for the executable format, you must edit config.h to define LINUX_QMAGIC.
668
669 On GNU/Linux, configure may fail to put these definitions in config.h:
670
671 #define HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY
672 #define HAVE_MKDIR
673 #define HAVE_RMDIR
674 #define HAVE_XSCREENNUMBEROFSCREEN
675
676 To work around the problem, add those definitions by hand.
677 It is possible that this problem happens only with X11R6.
678 Newer system versions have fixed it.

686 In some system versions, `make' is broken; use GNU make instead.
687 Shell bugs in version 1.0 of BSD/OS cause configure
688 to do the wrong thing with --with-x-toolkit; the workaround is to edit

699 On 386bsd, NetBSD and FreeBSD, at one time, it was necessary to use
700 GNU make, not the system's make. Assuming it's installed as gmake,
701 do `gmake install MAKE=gmake'. However, more recently it is
702 reported that using the system Make on NetBSD 1.3.1 works ok.
703
704 If you are using System V release 4.2, you may find that `cc -E'
705 puts spurious spaces in `src/xmakefile'. If that happens,
706 specify CPP=/lib/cpp as an option when you run make.
707 There is no problem if you compile with GCC.

709 Note that use of Linux with GCC 2.4 and the DLL 4.4 libraries
710 requires the experimental "net 2" network patches (no relation to
711 Berkeley Net 2). There is a report that (some version of) Linux
712 requires including `/usr/src/linux/include/linux' in buffer.c
713 but no coherent explanation of why that might be so. If it is so,
714 in current versions of Linux, something else should probably be changed.
715
716 Some sysV.3 systems seem to have bugs in `opendir';
717 for them, alter `config.h' to define NONSYSTEM_DIR_LIBRARY
718 and undefine SYSV_SYSTEM_DIR.
719
720 If you use optimization on V.3, you may need the option -W2,'-y 0'
721 to prevent certain faulty optimization.
722
723 On 386/ix, to link with shared libraries, add #define USG_SHARED_LIBRARIES
724 to config.h.
725
726 On SCO, there are problems in regexp matching when Emacs is compiled
727 with the system compiler. The compiler version is "Microsoft C
728 version 6", SCO 4.2.0h Dev Sys Maintenance Supplement 01/06/93;
729 Quick C Compiler Version 1.00.46 (Beta). The solution is to compile
730 with GCC.
731
732 On ISC systems (2.02 and more recent), don't try to use the versions
733 of X that come with the system; use XFree86 instead.
734
735 There is no consistency in the handling of certain system header files
736 on V.3.
737
738 Some versions have sys/sioctl.h, and require it in sysdep.c.
739 But some versions do not have sys/sioctl.h.
740 For a given version of the system, this may depend on whether you have
741 X Windows or TCP/IP. Define or undefine NO_SIOCTL_H in config.h
742 according to whether you have the file.
743
744 Likewise, some versions have been known to need sys/ttold.h, sys/stream.h,
745 and sys/ptem.h included in sysdep.c. If your system has these files,
746 try defining NEED_PTEM_H in config.h if you have trouble without it.
747
748 You may find that adding -I/usr/X/include or -I/usr/netinclude or both
749 to CFLAGS avoids compilation errors on certain systems.
750
751 Some versions convince sysdep.c to try to use `struct tchars'
752 but define `struct tc' instead; add `#define tchars tc'
753 to config.h to solve this problem.

765 You can build a 64-bit executable (with larger maximum buffer size)
766 on Irix 6.5 by specifying the 64-bit ABI using the `-64' compiler
767 flag or otherwise (see cc(1)). This may work on earlier Irix 6
768 systems if you edit src/s/irix6-0.h following irix6-5.h.
769
770 If compiling with GCC on Irix 6 yields an error "conflicting types
771 for `initstate'", install GCC 2.95 or a newer version, and this
772 problem should go away. It is possible that this problem results
773 from upgrading the operating system without reinstalling GCC; so you
774 could also try reinstalling the same version of GCC, and telling us
775 whether that fixes the problem.

780 with minor fixes that are included in 18.37. However, bizarre behavior
781 was reported for 18.36 on a Masscomp (model and version unknown but probably
782 a 68020 system). The report sounds like a compiler bug.

786 has been reported for "C version 1.2 under RTU 3.1". We do not wish
787 to take the time to install the numerous workarounds required to
788 compensate for this bug.
789
790 For RTU version 3.1, define FIRST_PTY_LETTER to be 'p' in `src/s/rtu.h'
791 (or #undef and redefine it in config.h) so that ptys will be used.

801Mips (mips-mips-riscos, mips-mips-riscos4.0, or mips-mips-bsd)
802
803 The C compiler on Riscos 4.51 dumps core trying to optimize
804 parts of Emacs. Try without optimization or try GCC.
805
806 Meanwhile, the linker on that system returns success even if
807 there are undefined symbols; as a result, configure gets the
808 wrong answers to various questions. No work-around is known
809 except to edit src/config.h by hand to indicate which functions
810 don't exist.
811
812 Use mips-mips-riscos4.0 for RISCOS version 4.
813 Use mips-mips-bsd with the BSD world.
814
815 Note that the proper configuration names for DECstations are
816 mips-dec-ultrix and mips-dec-osf.
817
818 If you are compiling with GCC, then you must run fixincludes;
819 the alternative of using -traditional won't work because
820 the definition of SIGN_EXTEND_CHAR uses the keyword `signed'.
821
822 If the SYSV world is the default, then you probably need the following
823 line in etc/Makefile:
824
825 CFLAGS= -g -systype bsd43
826
827 Some operating systems on MIPS machines give SIGTRAP for division by
828 zero instead of the usual signals. The only real solution is to fix
829 the system to give a proper signal.
830
831 In the meantime, you can change init_data in data.c if you wish.
832 Change it to handle SIGTRAP as well as SIGFPE. But this will have a
833 great disadvantage: you will not be able to run Emacs under a
834 debugger. I think crashing on division by zero is a lesser problem.
835
836 dsg@mitre.org reported needing to use --x-libraries=/bsd43/usr/lib

897 There is a bug in OSF/1 make which claims there is a syntax error
898 in the src/xmakefile. You can successfully build emacs with:

914Pyramid (pyramid-pyramid-bsd)
915
916 The 19.26 pretest was observed to work on OSx 5.0, but it is necessary
917 to edit gmalloc.c. You must add #include <sys/types.h> at the top,
918 and delete the #define for size_t.
919
920 You need to build Emacs in the Berkeley universe with
921 the `ucb' command, as in `ucb make' or `ucb build-install'.

923 In OSx 4.0, it seems necessary to add the following two lines
924 to `src/m/pyramid.h':
925 #define _longjmp longjmp
926 #define _setjmp setjmp
927
928 In Pyramid system 2.5 there has been a compiler bug making
929 Emacs crash just after screen-splitting with Qnil containing 0.
930 A compiler that fixes this is Pyramid customer number 8494,
931 internal number 1923.
932
933 Some versions of the pyramid compiler get fatal
934 errors when the -gx compiler switch is used; if this
935 happens to you, change `src/m/pyramid.h' to define
936 C_DEBUG_SWITCH with an empty definition.
937
938 Some old system versions may require you to define PYRAMID_OLD
939 in when alloca.s is preprocessed, in order to define _longjmp and _setjmp.
940
941Sequent Balance (ns32k-sequent-bsd4.2 or ns32k-sequent-bsd4.3)
942
943 Emacs 18.51 worked on system version 3.0. 18.52 is said to work.
944 Delete some lines at the end of `src/m/sequent.h' for earlier system
945 versions.
946
947Sequent Symmetry (i386-sequent-bsd, i386-sequent-ptx, i386-sequent-ptx4)
948
949 19.33 has changes to support ptx 4 (a modified SVR4).
950
951 Emacs 19 should work on Dynix (BSD). However, if you compile with
952 the Sequent compiler, you may find Emacs does not restore the
953 terminal settings on exit. If this happens, compile with GCC.
954
955 Emacs 19.27 contains patches that should support
956 DYNIX/ptx 1.4 and 2.1 with the native cc compiler.
957
958 GCC can't compile src/process.c due to a non-standard Sequent asm
959 keyword extension supported by cc and used for the network byte/word
960 swapping functions in the PTX /usr/include/netinet/in.h file. GCC
961 2.5.8 includes the file <sys/byteorder.h> which can be included into
962 netinet/in.h to perform these byte/word swapping functions in the
963 same manner. Patches have been submitted to the FSF against GCC
964 2.6.0 to fix this problem and allow Emacs to be built with GCC.
965
966 If your machine does not have TCP/IP installed, you will have to edit the
967 src/s/ptx.h file and comment out #define TCPIP_INSTALLED.
968
969Siemens Nixdorf RM600 and RM400 (mips-siemens-sysv4)
970
971 Changes merged in 19.29. This configuration should also work for
972 Pyramid MIS Server running DC-OSX 1.x. The version configured with
973 `--with-x' works without any modifications, but `--with-x-toolkit'
974 works only if the Athena library and the Toolkit library are linked
975 statically. For this, edit `src/Makefile' after the `configure' run
976 and modify the lines with `-lXaw' and `-lXt' as follows:
977
978 LIBW= /usr/lib/libXaw.a
979 LIBXT= $(LIBW) -lXmu /usr/lib/libXt.a $(LIBXTR6) -lXext
980
981 In addition, `--with-x-toolkit=motif' works only
982 if the Motif library and the Toolkit library are linked statically.
983 To do this, edit `src/Makefile' after the `configure' run
984 and modify the lines with `-lXm' and `-lXt' as follows:
985
986 LIBW= /usr/lib/libXm.a /usr/ccs/lib/libgen.a
987 LIBXT= $(LIBW) -lXmu /usr/lib/libXt.a $(LIBXTR6) -lXext

989SONY News (m68k-sony-bsd4.2 or m68k-sony-bsd4.3)

994
995 The 19.26 pretest is reported to work.
996
997 Some versions of the operating system give SIGTRAP for division by zero
998 instead of the usual signals. This causes division by zero
999 to make Emacs crash. The system should be fixed to give the proper signal.
1000 Changing Emacs is not a proper solution, because it would prevent
1001 Emacs from working under any debugger. But you can change init_data
1002 in data.c if you wish.
1003

1013
1014 Works (most recent news for 18.30) on their release 2.0.
1015 For release 2.2, see the end of `src/m/stride.h'.
1016 It may be possible to run on their V.1 system but changes
1017 in the s- file would be needed.

1023 To build a 32-bit Emacs (i.e. if you are having any sort of problem
1024 bootstrapping a 64-bit version), you can use the Sun Studio compiler
1025 and configure Emacs with:
1026 env CC="cc -xarch=v7" CFLAGS='' ./configure # on SPARC systems
1027 env CC="cc -xarch=386" CFLAGS='' ./configure # on x86 systems
1028 On Solaris 2.10, it is also possible to use /usr/sfw/bin/gcc to build
1029 a 32-bit version of Emacs. Just make sure you point ./configure to
1030 the right compiler:
1031
1032 env CC='/usr/sfw/bin/gcc -m32' ./configure

1034 To build a 64-bit Emacs (with larger maximum buffer size and
1035 including large file support) on a Solaris system which supports
1036 64-bit executables, use the Sun compiler, configuring something like
1037 this (see the cc documentation for information on 64-bit
5ebc76c9

1038 compilation):
1039
1040 env CC="cc -xarch=v9" CFLAGS='' ./configure # on SPARC systems

1046 Some versions of Solaris 8 have a bug in their XIM (X Input Method)
1047 implementation which causes Emacs to dump core when one of several
1048 frames is closed. To avoid this, either install patch 108773-12
1049 (for Sparc) or 108874-12 (for x86), or configure Emacs with the
1050 `--with-xim=no' switch (you can use Leim input methods instead).

1052 On Solaris 2.7, building Emacs with WorkShop Compilers 5.0 98/12/15
1053 C 5.0 failed, apparently with non-default CFLAGS, most probably due to
1054 compiler bugs. Using Sun Solaris 2.7 Sun WorkShop 6 update 1 C
1055 release was reported to work without problems. It worked OK on
1056 another system with Solaris 8 using apparently the same 5.0 compiler
1057 and the default CFLAGS.

1059 Emacs 21.1 and 21.2 built with Sun's ProWorks PC3.0.1 compiler on
1060 Intel/Solaris 8 was reported to abort and dump core during startup.
1061 Using GCC or a newer SUN compiler (Sun WokShop 6 update 2 C 5.3
1062 2001/05/15) solves the problem.

1064 Emacs 20.5 and later work on SPARC GNU/Linux with the 32-bit ABI.
1065 As of release 2.95, GCC doesn't work properly with the 64-bit ABI
1066 (applicable on UltraSPARC), but that isn't the default mode.
1067
1068 Emacs 20.3 fails to build on Solaris 2.5 if you use GCC 2.7.2.3.
1069 Installing GCC 2.8 fixes the problem.
1070
1071 19.32 works on Solaris 2.4 and 2.5. On Solaris 2.5
1072 you may need one of these patches to prevent Emacs from crashing
1073 when it starts up:

1078 There are reports that using SunSoft cc with -xO4 -xdepend produces
1079 bad code for some part of Emacs.
1080
1081 Emacs works ok Sunos 4.1.x
1082 provided you completely replace your C shared library
1083 using one of the SunOS 4.1.x jumbo replacement patches from Sun.
1084 Here are the patch numbers for Sunos 4.1.3:
1085 100890-10 SunOS 4.1.3: domestic libc jumbo patch
1086 100891-10 SunOS 4.1.3: international libc jumbo patch
1087
1088 Some people report that Emacs crashes immediately on startup when
1089 used with a non-X terminal, but we think this is due to compiling
1090 with GCC and failing to use GCC's "fixed" system header files.
1091
1092 Some Sun versions of X windows use the clipboard, not the selections,
1093 for transferring text between clients. The Cut, Paste and Copy items
1094 in the menu bar Edit menu work with the clipboard.
1095
1096 It's important to include the SunOS version number in the
1097 configuration name. For example, for SunOS release 4.0 on a Sun 3,
1098 use `m68k-sun-sunos4.0'; for SunOS release 4.1 on a Sparc, use
1099 `sparc-sun-sunos4.1'. For SunOS release 4.1.3 on a Sparc, use
1100 `sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3'. Note that shared libraries are now
1101 used by default on SunOS 4.1.

1103 A user reported irreproducible segmentation faults when using 19.29
1104 on Solaris 2.3 and 2.4 after compiling it with the Sun compiler.
1105 The problem went away when GCC 2.7.0 was used instead. We do not know
1106 whether anything in Emacs is partly to blame for this.
1107
1108 X11R6 is set up to make shared libraries only, on Sunos 4.
1109 Therefore, in order to link Emacs, you need to create static X libraries.
1110 To do this, rebuild X11 after setting
1111 #define ForceNormalLib YES
1112 #define SeparateSharedCompile YES
1113 in site.def (after #ifdef AfterVendorCF).
1114
1115 Use `m68k' for the 68000-based Sun boxes, `sparc' for Sparcstations,
1116 and `i386' for Sun Roadrunners. i386 calls for Sunos4.0.
1117
1118 If you compile with Sun's ANSI compiler acc, you need additional options
1119 when linking temacs, such as
1120 /usr/lang/SC2.0.1/values-Xt.o -L/usr/lang/SC2.0.1/cg87 -L/usr/lang/SC2.0.1
1121 (those should be added just before the libraries) and you need to
1122 add -lansi just before -lc. The precise file names depend on the
1123 compiler version, so we cannot easily arrange to supply them.
1124
1125 On SunOS 4.1.1, do not use /usr/5bin/cc. You can use gcc or/usr/bin/cc.
1126 Make sure the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not defined.
1127
1128 Some people report crashes on SunOS 4.1.3 if SYSTEM_MALLOC is defined.
1129 Others have reported that Emacs works if SYSTEM_MALLOC is defined, and not
1130 if it is undefined. So far we do not know why results vary in this way.
1131 The sources are set up so that SYSTEM_MALLOC is defined; if that crashes,
1132 or if you want the benefit of the relocating memory allocator, you can
1133 try enabling the #undef SYSTEM_MALLOC in src/s/sunos4-1-3.h.
1134
1135 On Solaris 2, you need to install patch 100947-02 to fix a system bug.
1136 Presumably this patch comes from Sun. You must alter the definition of
1137 LD_SWITCH_SYSTEM if your X11 libraries are not in /usr/openwin/lib.
1138 You must make sure that /usr/ucblib is not in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
1139
1140 On Solaris 2.2, with a multiprocessor SparcCenter 1000, Emacs 19.17 is
1141 reported to hang sometimes if it exits while it has one or more
1142 subprocesses (e.g. the `wakeup' subprocess used by `display-time').
1143 Emacs and its subprocesses become zombies, and in their zombie state
1144 slow down their host and disable rlogin and telnet. This is most
1145 likely due to a bug in Solaris 2.2's multiprocessor support,
1146 rather than an Emacs bug.
1147
1148 On Solaris, do not use /usr/ucb/cc. Use /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc. Make
1149 sure that /usr/ccs/bin and /opt/SUNWspro/bin are in your PATH before
1150 /usr/ucb. (Most free software packages have the same requirement on
67b33cb0
GM
1151 Solaris.) With this compiler, use `/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -E' as the
1152 preprocessor. If this inserts extra whitespace into its output (see
1153 the PROBLEMS file) then add the option `-Xs'.

1154
1155 If you have trouble using open-network-stream, get the distribution
1156 of `bind' (the BSD name-server), build libresolv.a, and link Emacs
1157 with -lresolv, by copying the #definition of LIBS_SYSTEM in
1158 src/s/sunos4-1.h to src/config.h. This problem is due to obsolete
1159 software in the nonshared standard library.
1160
1161 If you want to use SunWindows, define HAVE_SUN_WINDOWS
1162 in config.h to enable a special interface called `emacstool'.
1163 The definition must *precede* the #include "machine.h".
1164 System version 3.2 is required for this facility to work.
1165
1166 We recommend that you instead use the X window system, which
1167 has technical advantages, is an industry standard, and is also
1168 free software. The FSF does not support the SunWindows code;
1169 we installed it only on the understanding we would not let it
1170 divert our efforts from what we think is important.
1171
1172 If you are compiling for X windows, and the X window library was
1173 compiled to use the 68881, then you must edit config.h according
1174 the comments at the end of `src/m/sun3.h'.
1175
1176 Note that Emacs on a Sun is not really as big as it looks.
1177 As dumped, it includes around 200k of zeros between the
1178 original text section and the original data section
1179 (now remapped as part of the text). These are never
1180 swapped in.
1181
1182 To build a single Emacs that will run on Sun 2 and Sun 3
1183 HARDWARE, just build it on the Sun 2.
1184
1185 On Sunos 4.1.3, the word is that Emacs can loop infinitely
1186 on startup with X due perhaps to a bug in Sunos. Installing all of
1187 these Sun patches fixes the problem. We don't know which of them
1188 are really relevant.

1287
1288Esix
1289
1290 The following was written for Emacs 18.59 and has been
1291 slightly adapted for Emacs 19. It may need more change to be correct.
1292
1293 Use s/usg5-4.h for Esix System V 4.0.[34] systems if you also have
1294 XFree86. If you insist on using the Esix X Window libraries, good
1295 luck. s/esix5r4.h provides a starting point, but doesn't seem to
1296 work consistently. The basic problems involve the need to load
1297 -lX11 *last* in the link command, and even then some things break.
1298 You get best results by installing XFree86 and forgetting about the
1299 Esix stuff unless you want to run IXI xdt3, which really only needs
1300 the Esix X11 shared libraries.
1301
1302 To compile with XFree86, make sure that your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
1303 contains /usr/X386/lib. Be careful if you also have the Esix X
1304 Window libraries that /usr/X386/lib appears *first* in the
1305 LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Then define C_SWITCH_X_SYSTEM -I/usr/X386/include.
1306
1307Linux (actually GNU/Linux)
1308
1309 Most of the complete systems which use the Linux kernel are close
1310 enough to the GNU system to be considered variant GNU systems. We
1311 call them "Linux-based GNU systems," or GNU/Linux for short.
1312
1313 It is not coincidence that many of the other components used with
1314 Linux--including GNU Emacs--were developed specifically for the GNU
1315 project. The GNU project was launched in 1984 to develop a free
1316 complete Unix-like operating system. To reach this goal, we had to
1317 develop whatever system components were not available as freely
1318 redistributable software from some other source.
1319
1320 The GNU project wants users of GNU/Linux systems to be aware of how
1321 these systems relate to the GNU project, because that will help
1322 spread the GNU idea that software should be free--and thus encourage
1323 people to write more free software. See the file LINUX-GNU in this
1324 directory for more explanation.

1331
1332 For installation on MSDOS, see the file INSTALL (search for `MSDOG',
1333 near the end of the file). See the "MS-DOS" chapter of the manual
1334 for information about using Emacs on MSDOS.
1335
1336SCO Unix
1337 If you have TCP but not X, you need to edit src/s/sco4.h
1338 to define HAVE_SOCKETS.
1339
1340 If you are using MMDF instead of sendmail, you need to remove
1341 /usr/lib/sendmail or modify lisp/paths.el before compiling.
1342 lisp/paths.el (which is loaded during the build) will attempt to use
1343 sendmail if it exists.
1344
1345 If you are using SMAIL, you need to define the macro
1346 SMAIL in config.h.
1347
1348System V rel 0 (usg5.0)
1349
1350 Works, on Vaxes and 3bxxx's.
1351 There are some problems in 18.37 due to shortnames/cccp problems:
1352 use the emacs 17 cpp if you have it.
1353
1354System V rel 2 (usg5.2)
1355
1356 Works on various machines.
1357 On some (maybe all) machines the library -lPW exists and contains
1358 a version of `alloca'. On these machines, to use it, put
1359 #define HAVE_ALLOCA
1360 #define LIB_STANDARD -lPW -lc
1361 in the `src/m/MACHINENAME.h' file for the machine.
1362
1363 If you find that the character Meta-DEL makes Emacs crash,
1364 find where function init_sys_modes in sysdep.c sets sg.c_cc[VQUIT]
1365 and make it store 7 there. I have as yet no evidence of whether
1366 this problem, known in HP/UX, exists in other system V versions.
1367
1368System V rel 2.2 (usg5.2.2)
1369
1370 In 5.2.2 AT&T undid, incompatibly, their previous incompatible
1371 change to the way the nlist library is called. A different s- file
1372 is used to enable the other interface.
1373
1374 They call themselves the right choice--can't they choose?
1375
1376 Emacs version 18 unexec is currently not working properly
1377 on 5.2.2. Nobody knows why yet. A workaround is to define
1378 NO_REMAP. It is not yet known whether this applies to all
1379 machines running 5.2.2.
1380
1381System V rel 3 (usg5.3)
1382
1383 Some versions of this system support ptys and BSD-style sockets.
1384 On such systems, you should define HAVE_PTYS and HAVE_SOCKETS in config.h.
1385
1386 If you want to link Emacs with shared libraries, define
1387 USG_SHARED_LIBRARIES.
1388
1389 You may have to add ANSI idempotence #-lines to your sys/types.h
1390 file to get Emacs to compile correctly. This may be necessary on
1391 other pre-ANSI systems as well.
1392
1393 On an AT&T 6386WGS using System V Release 3.2 and X11R3, the X support
1394 cannot be made to work. Whether or not the GNU relocating malloc is
1395 used, the symptom is that the first call Emacs makes to sbrk(0) returns
1396 (char *)-1. Sorry, you're stuck with character-only mode. Try
178b60d7 1397 installing XFree86 to fix this.

1399System V rel 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 (usg5.4)
1400
1401 Supported, including shared libraries for ELF, but ptys do not work
1402 because TIOCGPGRP fails to work on ptys (but Dell 2.2 seems to have
1403 fixed this). This failure is probably due to a misunderstanding of
1404 the consequences of the POSIX spec: many system designers mistakenly
1405 think that POSIX requires this feature to fail. This is untrue;
1406 ptys are an extension, and POSIX says that extensions *when used*
1407 may change the action of standard facilities in any fashion.
1408
1409 If you get compilation errors about wrong number of
1410 arguments to getpgrp, define GETPGRP_NO_ARG.
1411
1412 The standard C preprocessor may generate xmakefile incorrectly. However,
1413 /lib/cpp will work, so use `make CPP=/lib/cpp'. Standard cpp
1414 seems to work OK under Dell 2.2.
1415
1416 Some versions 3 and earlier of V.4, on the Intel 386 and 860, had
1417 problems in the X11 libraries. These prevent Emacs from working
1418 with X. You can use Emacs with X provided your copy of X is based
1419 on X11 release 4 or newer, or is Dell's 2.2 (which is a 4.0.3).
1420 Unfortunately, the only way you can tell whether your X11 library is
1421 new enough is to try compiling Emacs to use X. If emacs runs, your
1422 X11 library is new enough.
1423
1424 In this context, GSV4 and GSV4i are alternate names for X11R4.
1425 OL2.* is X11R3 based. OL3 is in between X11R3 and X11R4, and may or
1426 may not work, depending on who made the Unix system. If the library
1427 libXol is part of the X distribution, then you have X11R3 and Emacs
1428 won't work with X.
1429
1430 Most versions of V.4 support sockets. If `/usr/lib/libsocket.so'
1431 exists, your system supports them. If yours does not, you must add
1432 #undef HAVE_SOCKETS in config.h, after the inclusion of s-usg5-4.h.
1433 (Any system that supports Internet should implement sockets.)
1434
1435Ultrix (bsd4.3)
1436
1437 Recent versions of Ultrix appear to support the features of Berkeley 4.3.
1438 Ultrix was at the BSD 4.2 level for a long time after BSD 4.3 came out.
1439
1440 Ultrix 3.0 has incompatibilities in its X library if you have the
1441 Ultrix version of X (UWS version 2.0). To solve them, you need to
1442 prevent XvmsAlloc.o in Xlib from being used. Israel Pinkas says:
1443
1444 I added the following lines to config.h after the X defines:
1445
1446 #if defined(ultrix) && defined(X11)
1447 #define OBJECTS_SYSTEM calloc.o
1448 #endif
1449
1450 Then I ran the following:
1451
1452 ar x /usr/lib/libc.a calloc.o
1453
1454 The problem is said to be gone in UWS version 2.1.
1455
1456Uniplus 5.2 (unipl5.2)
1457
1458 Works, on Dual machines at least.
1459
1460VMS (vmsM.N)
1461
1462 Richard Levitte <levitte@e.kth.se> distributes a set of patches to
1463 Emacs 18.59 to make it work nicely under VMS. Emacs 19 probably
1464 won't work very well, or even compile. Levitte is working on a
1465 port, so these problems should be fixed in the near future.
1466
1467 Note that Emacs for VMS is usually distributed in a special VMS
1468 distribution. See the file ../vms/VMSINSTALL for info on moving
1469 Unix distributions to VMS, and other VMS-related topics.

1476X86_64 GNU/Linux
1477
1478 No special procedures should be needed to build a 64-bit Emacs. To
1479 build a 32-bit Emacs, first ensure that the necessary 32-bit system
1480 libraries and include files are installed. Then use:
1481
1482 env CC="gcc -m32" ./configure --build=i386-linux-gnu \
1483 --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib
1484
1485 (using the location of the 32-bit X libraries on your system).

1487Xenix (xenix)
1488
1489 Should work in 18.50, but you will need to edit the files
1490 `lib-src/Makefile' and `src/ymakefile'
1491 (see the comments that mention "Xenix" for what to change.)
1492 Compiling Emacs with -O is said not to work.
1493
1494 If you want Emacs to work with Smail (installed as /usr/bin/smail)
1495 then add the line #define SMAIL to config.h.
1496
1497 The file etc/XENIX suggests some useful things to do to Xenix
1498 to make the Emacs meta key work.
