   7 This is a list of the status of GNU Emacs on various machines and systems.
   8
   9 Information about older releases, and platforms that are no longer
  10 supported, has been removed.  Consult older versions of this file if
  11 you are interested in this information.
  12
  13 The `configure' script uses the configuration name, and the results of
  14 testing the system, to decide which options to use in src/config.h and
  15 elsewhere (eg Makefiles).
  16
  17 If you add support for a new configuration, add a section to this
  18 file, and edit the `configure.ac' source as needed.
  19
  20 Some obsolete platforms are unsupported beginning with Emacs 23.1.  See
  21 the list at the end of this file.

  24 * Here are notes about some of the systems supported:
  25
  26 ** GNU/Linux
  27
  28   Most of the complete systems which use the Linux kernel are close
  29   enough to the GNU system to be considered variant GNU systems.  We
  30   call them "Linux-based GNU systems," or GNU/Linux for short.
  31
  32   It is not coincidence that many of the other components used with
  33   Linux--including GNU Emacs--were developed specifically for the GNU
  34   project.  The GNU project was launched in 1984 to develop a free
  35   complete Unix-like operating system.  To reach this goal, we had to
  36   develop whatever system components were not available as freely
  37   redistributable software from some other source.
  38
  39   The GNU project wants users of GNU/Linux systems to be aware of how
  40   these systems relate to the GNU project, because that will help
  41   spread the GNU idea that software should be free--and thus encourage
  42   people to write more free software.  For more information, see
  43   <http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html>.
  44
  45 *** 64-bit GNU/Linux
  46
  47   No special procedures should be needed to build a 64-bit Emacs on a
  48   64-bit GNU/Linux system.  To build a 32-bit Emacs, first ensure that
  49   the necessary 32-bit system libraries and include files are
  50   installed.  Then use:
  51
  52     ./configure CC='gcc -m32' --build=i386-linux-gnu \
  53       --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib
  54
  55   (using the location of the 32-bit X libraries on your system).
  56
  57 *** IBM System/390 running GNU/Linux (s390-*-linux-gnu)
  58
  59   As of Emacs 21.2, a 31-bit only version is supported on this system.
  60
  61 *** SuperH (sh[34]*-*-linux-gnu)
  62
  63   Emacs 23.0.60 was reported to work on GNU/Linux (October 2008).
  64   This was tested on a little-endian sh4 system (cpu type SH7751R) running
  65   Gentoo Linux 2008.0.
  66
  67 ** Mac OS X
  68
  69   For installation instructions see the file nextstep/INSTALL.
  70
  71 ** Microsoft Windows
  72
  73   For installation instructions see the file nt/INSTALL.
  74
  75 ** MS-DOS
  76
  77   For installation instructions see the file msdos/INSTALL.
  78   See the "MS-DOS" chapter of the manual for information about using
  79   Emacs on MS-DOS.
  80
  81 ** Solaris
  82
  83   On Solaris it is also possible to use either GCC or Solaris Studio
  84   to build Emacs, by pointing ./configure to the right compiler:
  85
  86     ./configure CC='/usr/sfw/bin/gcc'  # GCC
  87     ./configure CC='cc'                # Solaris Studio
  88
  89   On Solaris, do not use /usr/ucb/cc.  Use /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc.  Make
  90   sure that /usr/ccs/bin and /opt/SUNWspro/bin are in your PATH before
  91   /usr/ucb.  (Most free software packages have the same requirement on
  92   Solaris.)  With this compiler, use `/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -E' as the
  93   preprocessor.  If this inserts extra whitespace into its output (see
  94   the PROBLEMS file) then add the option `-Xs'.
  95
  96   To build a 64-bit Emacs (with larger maximum buffer size) on a
  97   Solaris system which supports 64-bit executables, specify the -m64
  98   compiler option.  For example:
  99
 100     ./configure CC='/usr/sfw/bin/gcc -m64'  # GCC
 101     ./configure CC='cc -m64'                # Solaris Studio
 102
 103 ** Irix 6.5
 104
 105   It *may* be possible to build Emacs on Irix 6.5 with an old version
 106   (3.1) of gcc.  Newer versions of gcc may not work.  None of the
 107   current Emacs developers use Irix, though.  If you want to help
 108   make Emacs on Irix work, see <http://debbugs.gnu.org/9684>.
