4For each system and machine, we give the `-opsystem' and `-machine'
5options you should pass to config.emacs to prepare to build Emacs for
6that system/machine.
7
8These options tell Emacs which machine- and system-descriptive files
9to include. For each `-machine=MACHNAME' option, there exists a file
10`src/m/MACHNAME.h', and for each `-opsystem=OSNAME' option, there
11exists a file `src/s/OSNAME.h'.

13Systems:
2e493ffe 14
77d78be1 15Berkeley 4.1 (-opsystem=bsd4-1)
2e493ffe
JB
16
17 Works on vaxes.
18
77d78be1 19Berkeley 4.2 (-opsystem=bsd4-2)
2e493ffe
JB
20
21 Works on several machines.
22
77d78be1 23Berkeley 4.3 (-opsystem=bsd4-3)
2e493ffe
JB
24
25 Works, on Vaxes at least.
26
27Microport
28
29 See under "Intel 386".
30
77d78be1 31System V rel 0 (-opsystem=usg5-0)
2e493ffe
JB
32
33 Works, on Vaxes and 3bxxx's.
34 There are some problems in 18.37 due to shortnames/cccp problems:
35 use the emacs 17 cpp if you have it.
36
77d78be1 37System V rel 2 (-opsystem=usg5-2)
2e493ffe
JB
38
39 Works on various machines.
40 On some (maybe all) machines the library -lPW exists and contains
41 a version of `alloca'. On these machines, to use it, put
42 #define HAVE_ALLOCA
43 #define LIB_STANDARD -lPW -lc
77d78be1 44 in the src/m/MACHINENAME.h file for the machine.
2e493ffe
JB
45
46 If you find that the character Meta-DEL makes Emacs crash,
47 find where function init_sys_modes in sysdep.c sets sg.c_cc[VQUIT]
48 and make it store 7 there. I have as yet no evidence of whether
49 this problem, known in HP-UX, exists in other system V versions.
50
77d78be1 51System V rel 2.2 (-opsystem=usg5-2-2)
2e493ffe
JB
52
53 In 5.2.2 AT&T undid, incompatibly, their previous incompatible
54 change to the way the nlist library is called. A different s- file
55 is used to enable the other interface.
56
57 They call themselves the right choice--can't they choose?
58
59 Emacs version 18 unexec is currently not working properly
60 on 5.2.2. Nobody knows why yet. A workaround is to define
61 NO_REMAP. It is not yet known whether this applies to all
62 machines running 5.2.2.
63
77d78be1 64System V rel 3 (-opsystem=usg5-3)
2e493ffe
JB
65
66 Some versions of this system support ptys and BSD-style sockets.
67 On such systems, you should define HAVE_PTYS and HAVE_SOCKETS in config.h.
68
69 If you want to link Emacs with shared libraries, define
70 USG_SHARED_LIBRARIES.
71
77d78be1 72System V rel 4 (-opsystem=usg5-4)
2e493ffe
JB
73
74 Supported, including shared libraries for ELF, but ptys do not
75 work because TIOCGPGRP fails to work on ptys.
76 This failure is probably due to a misunderstanding of the
77 consequences of the POSIX spec: many system designers mistakenly
0ec1ba5b
JB
78 think that POSIX requires this feature to fail. This is untrue;
79 ptys are an extension, and POSIX says that extensions *when used*
80 may change the action of standard facilities in any fashion.
81
82 The standard C preprocessor generate xmakefile incorrectly. However,
83 /lib/cpp will work, so use `make CPP=/lib/cpp'.
2e493ffe 84
77d78be1 85Ultrix (-opsystem=bsd4-2)
2e493ffe
JB
86
87 DEC's Ultrix OS is essentially Berkeley 4.2. It does not correctly
88 implement certain features of 4.3.
89
90 Ultrix 3.0 has incompatibilities in its X library if you have the
91 Ultrix version of X (UWS version 2.0). To solve them, you need to
92 prevent XvmsAlloc.o in Xlib from being used. Israel Pinkas says:
93
94 I added the following lines to config.h after the X defines:
95
96 #if defined(ultrix) && defined(X11)
97 #define OBJECTS_SYSTEM calloc.o
98 #endif
99
100 Then I ran the following:
101
102 ar x /usr/lib/libc.a calloc.o
103
104 The problem is said to be gone in UWS version 2.1.
105
77d78be1 106Uniplus 5.2 (-opsystem=unipl5-2)
2e493ffe
JB
107
108 Works, on Dual machines at least.
109
77d78be1 110VMS (-opsystem=vms)
2e493ffe
JB
111
112 Works except for certain features (directory listing, dired,
113 sending and receiving mail) that use synchronous subprocesses.
114 We need people to write alternative implementations of these
115 facilities.
116
117 Note that Emacs for VMS is usually distributed in a special
118 VMS distribution. See the file ../VMSINSTALL for info on moving
119 Unix distributions to VMS, and other VMS-related topics.
120
121Xenix
122
123 Should work in 18.50, but you will need to edit the files
77d78be1 124 lib-src/Makefile and src/ymakefile
2e493ffe
JB
125 (see the comments that mention "Xenix" for what to change.)
126 Compiling Emacs with -O is said not to work.
127
128 If you want Emacs to work with Smail (installed as /usr/bin/smail)
129 then add the line #define SMAIL to config.h.
130
77d78be1 131 The file share-lib/XENIX suggests some useful things to do to Xenix
2e493ffe
JB
132 to make the Emacs meta key work.

JB
136Alliant (-machine=alliant4, -machine=alliant or -machine=alliant1;
137 -opsystem=bsd4-2)
2e493ffe
JB
138
139 18.52 works on system version 4. Previous Emacs versions were
140 known to work on previous system versions.
141
77d78be1
JB
142 Use -machine=alliant1 on version 1 of their operating system
143 and use -machine=alliant on version 2 or 3.
144 Use -machine=alliant4 on version 4.
145
146Alliant FX/2800 (-machine=alliant-2800; -opsystem=bsd4-3)
147
148 Known to work with 18.58 and OS version 2.2, compiler version 1.3.
2e493ffe 149
77d78be1 150Altos 3068 (-machine=altos; -opsystem=usg5-2)
2e493ffe
JB
151
152 18.52 is said to work, provided you don't compile unexec.c with -O.
153
77d78be1 154Amdahl UTS (-machine=amdahl; -opsystem=usg5-2-2)
2e493ffe
JB
155
156 Small changes for 18.38 were merged in 18.39. It is mostly
157 working, but at last report a bug sometimes causes Emacs to
158 grab very large amounts of memory. No fix or explanation
159 has yet been reported. It may be possible to find this bug
160 if you find which Emacs command it happens within and then
161 run that command with a breakpoint set at malloc.
162
163 The 5.2u370 compiler is so brain damaged that it is not
164 even worth trying to use it. Success was obtained with the
165 uts native C compiler on uts version 5.2.5.
166
77d78be1 167Apollo running Domain (-machine=apollo; -opsystem=bsd4-2)
2e493ffe
JB
168
169 18.52 works, to some extent.
170 Code for dumping Emacs has been written, but we cannot
171 distribute it yet.
172 There are reports of bugs in cc -O on this system.
173
77d78be1 174 In lib-src/Makefile, don't expect emacsclient and emacsserver to
2e493ffe
JB
175 compile. You might want to remove them from your makefile.
176
177 Supposedly something in dired.c runs into a compiler bug.
77d78be1
JB
178 Paraphrasing the statement should avoid the problem. I have not yet
179 received word as to the exact statement this is.
2e493ffe 180
77d78be1 181AT&T 3b2, 3b5, 3b15, 3b20 (-machine=att3b; -opsystem=usg5-2-2)
2e493ffe
JB
182
183 Emacs will probably not work with certain kernel constants too small.
184
185 In param.h CDLIMIT should be at least (1L << 12) in order to allow
186 processes to write up to 2 Mbyte files. If it's too small,
187 you can perhaps fix it using the file `ulimit.hack' in this directory.
188
189 Note that for V.3.1 and later releases, this parameter is configurable
190 by normal means in /etc/master.d/kernel; examine that file for the
191 symbol CDLIMIT or ULIMIT, and raise it by several powers of 2. Then
192 do normal kernel rebuild things via "cd /boot; mkboot -k KERNEL" and so
193 forth. Do not use ulimit.hack if you have V.3.1 or later.
194
195 In seg.h NSEGP and STACKSEG should be at least 16 and 4 respectively
196 to allow processes with total size of up to 2Mbytes.
197 However, I'm told it is unlikely this would fail to be true.
198
199 The MAXMEM may also prevent Emacs from running. The file
200 3B-MAXMEM in this directory explains how to increase MAXMEM.
201
77d78be1 202AT&T 7300 or 3b1 (-machine=7300; -opsystem=usg5-2-2)
2e493ffe 203
77d78be1
JB
204 18.52 seems to work. If you have strange troubles with dumping
205 Emacs, delete the last few lines from -machine=7300 and recompile.
206 These lines are supposed to produce a sharable executable.
2e493ffe 207
77d78be1 208 -machine=7300 defines SHORTNAMES because operating system versions
2e493ffe 209 older than 3.5 did not support long symbol names. Version 3.5 does
77d78be1
JB
210 support them, so you can remove the #define SHORTNAMES in that
211 version.
2e493ffe 212
77d78be1 213Bull sps7 (-machine=sps7; -opsystem=usg5-2)

222
223 Version 18.49 works.
224
77d78be1 225Clipper (-machine=clipper; ???)
2e493ffe
JB
226
227 Version 19 has support for some brand of clipper system.
228 Note that the Orion 105 is also a clipper, but some system-related
229 parameters are different.
230
77d78be1 231Convex (-machine=convex; -opsystem=bsd4-3)

77d78be1 235Cubix QBx/386 (-machine=intel386; -opsystem=usg5-3)
2e493ffe
JB
236
237 Changes merged in 19.1. Systems before 2/A/0 may fail to compile etags.c
238 due to a compiler bug.
239
77d78be1 240Cydra 5 (-machine=cydra5; -opsystem=usg5-3)
2e493ffe
JB
241
242 18.51 worked in one version of their operating system but stopped
243 working in a newer version. This has not been fixed.
244
77d78be1 245DECstation (-machine=pmax; -opsystem=bsd4-2)
2e493ffe
JB
246
247 Works, as of 18.55. See under Ultrix for problems using X windows
248 on Ultrix. Note that this is a MIPS machine.
77d78be1
JB
249 For Ultrix versions prior to 4.0, you may need to delete
250 the definition of START_FILES from src/m/pmax.h.

255 (tested on sys1147 with SVR3V5). Changes merged in 19.1.
256
77d78be1
JB
257Motorola Delta 187 (-machine=delta88k; -opsystem=usg5-3)
258
259 Machine support added in version 19.
260 HAVE_X_MENU does not work due to lack of insque.
261
262Dual running System V (-machine=dual; -opsystem=usg5-2)
2e493ffe
JB
263
264 As of 17.46, this works except for a few changes
265 needed in unexec.c.
266
77d78be1 267Dual running Uniplus (-machine=dual; -opsystem=unipl5-2)
2e493ffe
JB
268

2e493ffe
JB
272
273 Changes for 12.0 release are in 19.1.
274 Dumping should work now.
275
77d78be1 276Encore machine (-machine=ns16000; -opsystem=umax)
2e493ffe
JB
277
278 This machine bizarrely uses 4.2BSD modified to use the COFF format
279 for object files. Works (as of 18.40). For the APC processor you
77d78be1 280 must enable two lines at the end of src/s/umax.h, which are commented
2e493ffe
JB
281 out in the file as distributed.
282
283 WARNING: If you compile Emacs with the "-O" compiler switch, you
284 must also use the "-q enter_exits" switch so that all functions have
285 stack frames. Otherwise routines that call `alloca' all lose.
286
287 A kernel bug in some system versions causes input characters to be lost
288 occasionally.
289
77d78be1 290GEC 93 (-machine=gec93; -opsystem=usg5-2?)
2e493ffe

291
292 Changes are partially merged in version 18, but
293 certainly require more work.
294
77d78be1 295Gould Power Node (-machine=gould; -opsystem=bsd4-2 or -opsystem=bsd4-3)
2e493ffe
JB
296
297 18.36 worked on versions 1.2 and 2.0 of the operating system.
298
77d78be1 299 On UTX/32 2.0, use -opsystem=bsd4-3.
2e493ffe 300
77d78be1
JB
301 On UTX/32 1.2 and UTX/32S 1.0, use -opsystem=bsd4-2 and note that
302 compiling lib-src/sorted-doc tickles a compiler bug: remove the -g
303 flag to cc in the makefile.
2e493ffe
JB
304
305 UTX/32 1.3 has a bug in the bcopy library routine. Fix it by
77d78be1 306 #undef BSTRING in -machine=gould.
2e493ffe
JB
307
308 Version 19 incorporates support for releases 2.1 and later of UTX/32.
309 A site running a pre-release of 2.1 should #define RELEASE2_1 in config.h.
310
77d78be1 311Gould NP1 (-machine=gould-np1; -opsystem=bsd4-3)
2e493ffe
JB
312
313 Version 19 supposedly works.

319HP 9000 series 200 or 300 (-machine=hp9000s300;
320 -opsystem=hpux or -opsystem=bsd4-3)
2e493ffe
JB
321
322 Version 18 works.
323 These machines are 68000-series CPUs running HP-UX
324 (a derivative of sysV with some BSD features) or BSD 4.3 ported by Utah.
325 The choice of s- file determines which system Emacs is built for.
326
327 Series 200 HPUX runs Emacs only if it has the "HP-UX upgrade".
328
956ace37
JB
329 If you are running HP-UX release 8.0 or later, you need the optional
330 "C/ANSI C" software in order to build Emacs (older releases of HP-UX
331 do not require any special software). If the file "/etc/filesets/C"
332 exists on your machine, you have this software, otherwise you do not.
333
2e493ffe
JB
334 Note that HP has used two incompatible assembler syntaxes,
335 and has recently changed the format of C function frames.
336 src/crt0.c and src/alloca.s have been conditionalised for the new
337 assembler and new function-entry sequence. You may need to define
338 OLD_HP_ASSEMBLER if you are using an older hpux version. If you
339 have an official (bought from HP) series 300 machine you have
340 the new assembler. Kernels that are 5.+ or later have new
341 assembler. A Series 200 that has been upgraded to a 68010
342 processor and a 5.+ kernel has the new compiler.
343
344 Define C_SWITCH_MACHINE to be +X to make a version of Emacs that
345 runs on both 68010 and 68020 based hp-ux's.
346
347 Define HPUX_68010 if you are using the new assembler, for
348 a system that has a 68010 without a 68881. This is to say,
349 a s200 (upgraded) or s310.
350
351 Define the symbol HPUX_NET if you have the optional network features
352 that include the `netunam' system call. This is refered to as
353 Network Services (NS/9000) in HP literature.
354
77d78be1 355HP 9000 series 300 running BSD 4.3 (-machine=hp300bsd; -opsystem=bsd4-3)
2e493ffe 356
77d78be1 357 Version 19.1 works.
2e493ffe
JB
358
359HP 9000 series 500: not supported.
360
361 The series 500 has a seriously incompatible memory architecture
362 which relocates data in memory during execution of a program,
363 and support for it would be difficult to implement.
364
77d78be1 365HP 9000 series 800 (Spectrum) (-machine=hp9000s800; -opsystem=hpux)
2e493ffe
JB
366
367 These files support HP's Precision Architecture machines
368 running HP-UX. It has been moderately tested on the Series
369 840.
370
956ace37
JB
371 If you are running HP-UX release 8.0 or later, you need the optional
372 "C/ANSI C" software in order to build Emacs (older releases of HP-UX
373 do not require any special software). If the file "/etc/filesets/C"
374 exists on your machine, you have this software, otherwise you do not.

377
378 This is the original microprogrammed hardware.

2e493ffe
JB
382
383 Changes merged in 18.52. This is the one with the Clipper cpu.
384 Note that systems which lack NFS need LOAD_AVE_TYPE changed to `double'.
385
386 C compiler has a bug; it loops compiling eval.c.
387 Compile it by hand without optimization.

77d78be1 389IBM PS/2 (-machine=ibmps2-aix; -opsystem=usg5-2-2 or -opsystem=usg5-3)
2e493ffe
JB
390
391 Changes merged in version 19. You may need to copy
392 /usr/lib/samples/hft/hftctl.c to the Emacs src directory.
393
77d78be1
JB
394 Use -opsystem=usg5-3 on AIX 1.2.
395 -opsystem=usg5-2-2 should work on either AIX 1.1 or 1.2, but may not
396 work with certain new X window managers, and may be suboptimal.
397
398IBM RS/6000 (-machine=ibmrs6000; -opsystem=aix3-1)

400 Changes merged in version 19.
401

JB
402 Dumping does not work. Code has been written to implement it, but
403 it fails because the address of bss seems to vary occasionally
404 between Emacs runs. It does not seem to vary from minute to minute,
405 but every few days or weeks it changes to a new steady state.
406 When this happens, the dumped Emacs data file becomes invalid.

408IBM RT/PC (-machine=ibmrt or -machine=ibmrt-aix;
409 -opsystem=bsd4-2 or -opsystem=usg5-2-2)
2e493ffe
JB
410
411 18.52 works on both operating systems.
77d78be1
JB
412 Use -opsystem=bsd4-2 for the 4.2-like system and -opsystem=usg5-2-2
413 for AIX.
2e493ffe
JB
414
415 On BSD, if you have trouble, try compiling with a different compiler.
416
417 On AIX, the file /usr/lib/samples/hft/hftctl.c must be compiled into
418 hftctl.o, with this result left in the src directory (hftctl.c is
419 part of the standard AIX distribution).
420
421 window.c must not be compiled with -O on AIX.

426 18.52 said to work on some sort of ISI machine.
427 Version 18.45 worked (running on a Optimum V (VME bus, 68020)
428 BSD 4.2 (3.05e) system). 18.42 is reported to work on
429 a Qbus 68010 system. Has not been tried on `WorkStation' `Cluster
430 Compute Node' `Cluster WorkStation' or `Server Node' (Love the
431 StudLYCaps)
432
433 Compilation with -O is rumored to break something.
434
435 On recent system versions, you may need to undefine the macro UMAX
77d78be1 436 in lib-src/loadst.c and src/getpagesize.h. They stupidly defined this
2e493ffe
JB
437 in a system header file, which confuses Emacs (which thinks that UMAX
438 indicates the Umax operating system).
439
77d78be1
JB
440Intel 386 (-machine=intel386 or -machine=is386;
441 -opsystem=bsd4-2, usg5-2-2, usg5-3, isc2-2, 386-ix,
442 esix, or xenix)
443
444 18.58 should support a wide variety of operating systems.
445 Use -opsystem=isc2-2 for Interactive 386/ix version 2.2.
446 Use -opsystem=386ix for prior versions.
b5752bd1
JB
447 Use -opsystem=esix for Esix.
448 It isn't clear what to do on an SCO system. The system's C
449 preprocessor doesn't seem to handle the src subdirectory's Make
450 trickery, so you will probably need to install the GNU C preprocessor.
2e493ffe 451
2e493ffe
JB
452 If you are using Xenix, see notes above under Xenix.
453
454 Some sysV.3 systems seem to have bugs in `opendir';
455 for them, alter `config.h' to define NONSYSTEM_DIR_LIBRARY
456 and undefine SYSV_SYSTEM_DIR.
457
458 If you use optimization on V.3, you may need the option -W2,'-y 0'
459 to prevent certain faulty optimization.
460
0ec1ba5b
JB
461 On 386/ix, to link with shared libraries, add #define USG_SHARED_LIBRARIES
462 to config.h.
463
2e493ffe
JB
464 There is no consistency in the handling of certain system header files
465 on V.3.
466
467 Some versions have sys/sioctl.h, and require it in sysdep.c.
468 But some versions do not have sys/sioctl.h.
0ec1ba5b
JB
469 For a given version of the system, this may depend on whether you have
470 X Windows or TCP/IP. Define or undefine NO_SIOCTL_H in config.h
471 according to whether you have the file.
472
473 Likewise, some versions have been known to need sys/ttold.h, sys/stream.h,
474 and sys/ptem.h included in sysdep.c. If your system has these files,
475 try defining NEED_PTEM_H in config.h if you have trouble without it.
476
477 You may find that adding -I/usr/X/include or -I/usr/netinclude or both
478 to CFLAGS avoids compilation errors on certain systems.
479
2e493ffe
JB
480 Some versions convince sysdep.c to try to use `struct tchars'
481 but define `struct tc' instead; add `#define tchars tc'
482 to config.h to solve this problem.
483
77d78be1 484 The file -machine=is386 is used for an Integrated Solutions 386 machine.
2e493ffe
JB
485 It may also be correct for Microport systems.

501 If you use the X menu facility, you must edit oldXmenu/Makefile
502 to add the line
2e493ffe 503
0ec1ba5b 504 RANLIB=true
2e493ffe 505
77d78be1
JB
506 Someone said that with the yellow pages you must change two definitions
507 in -machine=iris4d as follows:
2e493ffe
JB
508
509 #define LIBS_MACHINE -lsun -lbsd -lPW -lmld
510 #define C_SWITCH_MACHINE -I/usr/include/sun -I/usr/include/bsd

77d78be1 525Masscomp (-machine=masscomp; -opsystem=rtu)
2e493ffe
JB
526
527 18.36 worked on a 5500DP running RTU v3.1a and compiler version 3.2
528 with minor fixes that are included in 18.37. However, bizarre behavior
529 was reported for 18.36 on a Masscomp (model and version unknown but probably
530 a 68020 system). The report sounds like a compiler bug.
531
532 A compiler bug affecting statements like
533 unsigned char k; unsigned char *p;... x = p[k];
534 has been reported for "C version 1.2 under RTU 3.1". We do not wish
535 to take the time to install the numerous workarounds required to
536 compensate for this bug; go complain to Masscomp.
537
77d78be1 538 For RTU version 3.1, define FIRST_PTY_LETTER to be 'p' in src/s/rtu.h
2e493ffe
JB
539 (or #undef and redefine it in config.h) so that ptys will be used.
540
541 GNU Emacs is said to have no chance of compiling on RTU versions
542 prior to v3.0.

77d78be1 602Pyramid (-machine=pyramid; -opsystem=bsd4-2)
2e493ffe
JB
603
604 In OSx 4.0, it seems necessary to add the following two lines
77d78be1 605 to src/m/pyramid.h:
2e493ffe
JB
606 #define _longjmp longjmp
607 #define _setjmp setjmp
608
609 In Pyramid system 2.5 there has been a compiler bug making
610 Emacs crash just after screen-splitting with Qnil containing 0.
611 A compiler that fixes this is Pyramid customer number 8494,
612 internal number 1923.
613
614 Some versions of the pyramid compiler get fatal
615 errors when the -gx compiler switch is used; if this
77d78be1 616 happens to you, change src/m/pyramid.h to define
2e493ffe
JB
617 C_DEBUG_SWITCH with an empty definition.
618
619 Some old system versions may require you to define PYRAMID_OLD
620 in when alloca.s is preprocessed, in order to define _longjmp and _setjmp.

653Sun 1, 2 and 3 (-machine=sun1, -machine=sun2, -machine=sun3;
654 -opsystem=bsd4-2, sunos4-0, or sunos4-1)
2e493ffe 655
77d78be1 656 There are three machine files for different versions of SunOS.
2e493ffe 657 All are derived from Berkeley 4.2. Emacs 17 has run on all of them.
77d78be1
JB
658 Whether you should use -machine=sun1, -machine=sun2 or -machine=sun3
659 depends on the VERSION OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM you have.
660 You will need to use -machine=sun3 on Sun 2's running SunOS release 3.
2e493ffe 661
77d78be1
JB
662 For SunOS release 4 on a Sun 3, use -machine=sun3 and
663 -opsystem=sunos4-0 or -opsystem=sunos4-1.
664 See the file share-lib/SUNBUG for how to solve problems caused by
665 bugs in the "export" version of SunOS 4.
2e493ffe
JB
666
667 If you have trouble using open-network-stream, get the
668 distribution of `bind' (the BSD name-server), build libresolv.a,
669 and link Emacs with -lresolv. This problem is due to obsolete
670 software in the nonshared standard library.
671
672 If you want to use SunWindows, define HAVE_SUN_WINDOWS
673 in config.h to enable a special interface called `emacstool'.
77d78be1 674 The definition must *precede* the #include "machine.h".
2e493ffe
JB
675 System version 3.2 is required for this facility to work.
676
677 We recommend that you instead use the X window system, which
678 has technical advantages, is an industry standard, and is also
679 free software.
680
681 If you are compiling for X windows, and the X window library was
682 compiled to use the 68881, then you must edit config.h according
77d78be1 683 the comments at the end of -machine=sun3.
2e493ffe
JB
684
685 Note that Emacs on a Sun is not really as big as it looks.
686 As dumped, it includes around 200k of zeros between the
687 original text section and the original data section
688 (now remapped as part of the text). These are never
689 swapped in.
690
691 To build a single Emacs that will run on Sun 2 and Sun 3
692 HARDWARE, just build it on the Sun 2.

698 does not work; some say that -O2 (whatever that is) works
699 perhaps with a small change.
700
77d78be1
JB
701 Use -opsystem=sunos4-0 for operating system version 4.0, and
702 -opsystem=sunos4-1 for later versions.

704 bugs in the "export" version of SunOS 4.
