This is a list of the status of GNU Emacs on various machines and systems.
-For each system and machine, we give the configuration name you should
-pass to the `configure' script to prepare to build Emacs for that
-system/machine.
+Information about older releases, and platforms that are no longer
+supported, has been removed. Consult older versions of this file if
+you are interested in this information.
The `configure' script uses the configuration name to decide which
machine and operating system description files `src/config.h' should
system description files.
Some obsolete platforms are unsupported beginning with Emacs 23.1, see
-the full list at the end of this file.

-Here are the configurations Emacs is intended to work with, with the
-corresponding configuration names. You can postpend version numbers
-to operating system names (i.e. sunos4.1) or architecture names (i.e.
-hppa1.1). If you leave out the version number, the `configure' script
-will configure Emacs for the latest version it knows about.

+** Alpha (DEC) running GNU/Linux (alpha-dec-linux-gnu)
DEC C compiler version 5.9 (DEC C V5.9-005 on Digital UNIX V4.0f)
is reported to produce bogus binaries of Emacs 21.2 when the
versions fail to build with a message "Invalid dimension for the
charset-ID 160".
- Note that the X11 libraries on GNU/Linux systems for the Alpha are
- said to have bugs that prevent Emacs from working with X (as of
- November 1995). Recent releases work (July 2000).
-
-Apple Macintosh running Mac OS X
-
- For installation on all versions of the Mac OS platform, see the file
- mac/INSTALL.
-
-Apple PowerPC Macintosh running GNU/Linux
-
- There are special considerations for a variety of this system which
- is known as the ``Yellow Dog [GNU/]Linux'': Emacs may crash during
- dumping. To solve this, edit the header file src/m/macppc.h in the
- Emacs distribution, and remove the "#if 0" and "#endif" directives
- which surround the following block near the end of the file:
-
- #if 0 /* This breaks things on PPC GNU/Linux except for Yellowdog,
- even with identical GCC, as, ld. Let's take it out until we
- know what's really going on here. */
- /* GCC 2.95 and newer on GNU/Linux PPC changed the load address to
- 0x10000000. */
- #if defined __linux__
- #if __GNUC__ > 2 || (__GNUC__ == 2 && __GNUC_MINOR__ >= 95)
- #define DATA_SEG_BITS 0x10000000
- #endif
- #endif
- #endif /* 0 */
-
- After that, reconfigure and rebuild Emacs. It should now build
- successfully.
-
-Cubix QBx/386 (i386-cubix-sysv)
-
- Changes merged in 19.1. Systems before 2/A/0 may fail to compile etags.c
- due to a compiler bug.
-
-DECstation (mips-dec-ultrix or mips-dec-osf)
-
- This machine is the older Mips-based DECstation.
- Emacs should now work on the Alpha CPU.
-
- 19.25 works on Ultrix 4.2. The 19.26 pretest was reported to work
- on Ultrix 4.2a and on 4.4.
-
- One user reported 19.25 did not work at all with --with-x-toolkit
- using X11R5 patch level 10, but worked ok with X11R5 pl26.
-
- See under Ultrix for problems using X windows on Ultrix.
- Note that this is a MIPS machine.
-
- For Ultrix versions 4.1 or earlier, you may need to define
- SYSTEM_MALLOC in `src/m/pmax.h', because XvmsAlloc.o in libX11.a seems
- to insist on defining malloc itself.
-
- For Ultrix versions prior to 4.0, you may need to delete
- the definition of START_FILES from `src/m/pmax.h'.

-HP 9000 series 500: not supported.
-
- The series 500 has a seriously incompatible memory architecture
- which relocates data in memory during execution of a program,
- and support for it would be difficult to implement.
-

Emacs 20 may work on HPUX 10. You need patch PHSS_6202 to install
the Xaw and Xmu libraries. On HPUX 10.20 you may need to compile with GCC;
when Emacs was compiled with HP's C compiler, HP92453-01 A.10.32.03,
the subprocess features failed to work.
- 19.26 is believed to work on HPUX 9 provided you compile with GCC.
- As of version 19.16, Emacs was reported to build (using GCC) and run
- on HP 9000/700 series machines running HP/UX versions 8.07 and 9.01.
- The HP compiler is known to fail on some versions if you use +O3,
- but it may work with lower optimization levels.
-
- Use hppa1.1-hp-hpux9shr to use shared libraries on HPUX version 9.
- You may need to create the X libraries libXaw.a and libXmu.a from
- the MIT X distribute, and you may need to edit src/Makefile's
- definition of LIBXT to look like this:
-
- LIBXT= $(LIBW) -lXmu -lXt $(LIBXTR6) -lXext
-
- Some people report trouble using the GNU memory allocator under
- HP/UX version 9. The problems often manifest as lots of ^@'s in the
- buffer.
-
- We are told that these problems go away if you obtain the latest
- patches for the HP/UX C compiler. James J Dempsey
- <jjd@spserv.bbn.com> says that this set of versions works for him:
- /bin/cc:
- HP92453-01 A.09.28 HP C Compiler
- /lib/ccom:
- HP92453-01 A.09.28 HP C Compiler
- HP-UX SLLIC/OPTIMIZER HP-UX.09.00.23 02/18/93
- Ucode Code Generator - HP-UX.09.00.23.5 (patch) 2/18/93
-
- For 700 series machines, the HP-UX patch needed is known as
- PHSS_2653. (Perhaps for 800 series machines as well; we don't
- know.) If you are on the Internet, you should be able to obtain
- this patch by using telnet to access the machine
- support.mayfield.hp.com and logging in as "hpslreg" and following
- the instructions there. Or you may be able to use this
- web site:
-
- HP Patch Server: http://support.mayfield.hp.com/patches/html/patches.html
- HP Support Line: http://support.mayfield.hp.com
-
- Please do not ask FSF for further support on this. If you have any
- trouble obtaining the patch, contact HP Software Support.
-
- If your buffer fills up with nulls (^@) at some point, it could well
- be that problem. That problem does not happen when people use GCC
- to compile Emacs. On the other hand, the HP compiler version 9.34
- was reported to work for the 19.26 pretest. 9.65 was also reported to work.
-
- If you turn on the DSUSP character (delayed suspend),
- Emacs 19.26 does not know how to turn it off on HPUX.
- You need to turn it off manually.

+ does not know how to turn it off on HPUX. You need to turn it off manually.
If you are running HP/UX release 8.0 or later, you need the optional
"C/ANSI C" software in order to build Emacs (older releases of HP/UX
do not require any special software). If the file "/etc/filesets/C"
exists on your machine, you have this software, otherwise you do not.

- The 19.26 pretest was reported to work on SVR4.3 and on Freebsd.
-
- 19.29 is reported to crash when using Motif on Solaris 2.5.
- The reasons are not yet known.
-
- Use i386-*-bsdiN for BSDI BSD/OS version N; Emacs runs as of version 19.23.
- In some system versions, `make' is broken; use GNU make instead.
- Shell bugs in version 1.0 of BSD/OS cause configure
- to do the wrong thing with --with-x-toolkit; the workaround is to edit
- configure to run another shell such as bash.
-
- For System V release 3, use i386-*-sysv3.
- For System V release 4, use i386-*-sysv4.

+ On NetBSD and FreeBSD, at one time, it was necessary to use
GNU make, not the system's make. Assuming it's installed as gmake,
do `gmake install MAKE=gmake'. However, more recently it is
reported that using the system Make on NetBSD 1.3.1 works ok.
- If you are using System V release 4.2, you may find that `cc -E'
- puts spurious spaces in `src/xmakefile'. If that happens,
- specify CPP=/lib/cpp as an option when you run make.
- There is no problem if you compile with GCC.
-
Note that use of Linux with GCC 2.4 and the DLL 4.4 libraries
requires the experimental "net 2" network patches (no relation to
Berkeley Net 2). There is a report that (some version of) Linux
but no coherent explanation of why that might be so. If it is so,
in current versions of Linux, something else should probably be changed.
- Some sysV.3 systems seem to have bugs in `opendir';
- for them, alter `config.h' to define NONSYSTEM_DIR_LIBRARY
- and undefine SYSV_SYSTEM_DIR.
-
- If you use optimization on V.3, you may need the option -W2,'-y 0'
- to prevent certain faulty optimization.
-
- On 386/ix, to link with shared libraries, add #define USG_SHARED_LIBRARIES
- to config.h.
-
- On SCO, there are problems in regexp matching when Emacs is compiled
- with the system compiler. The compiler version is "Microsoft C
- version 6", SCO 4.2.0h Dev Sys Maintenance Supplement 01/06/93;
- Quick C Compiler Version 1.00.46 (Beta). The solution is to compile

-
- On ISC systems (2.02 and more recent), don't try to use the versions

-
- There is no consistency in the handling of certain system header files

- Some versions have sys/sioctl.h, and require it in sysdep.c.

- Likewise, some versions have been known to need sys/ttold.h, sys/stream.h,
- and sys/ptem.h included in sysdep.c. If your system has these files,

whether that fixes the problem.
-Mips (mips-mips-riscos, mips-mips-riscos4.0, or mips-mips-bsd)
-
- The C compiler on Riscos 4.51 dumps core trying to optimize
- parts of Emacs. Try without optimization or try GCC.
-
- Meanwhile, the linker on that system returns success even if
- there are undefined symbols; as a result, configure gets the
- wrong answers to various questions. No work-around is known
- except to edit src/config.h by hand to indicate which functions
- don't exist.
-
- Use mips-mips-riscos4.0 for RISCOS version 4.
- Use mips-mips-bsd with the BSD world.
-
- Note that the proper configuration names for DECstations are
- mips-dec-ultrix and mips-dec-osf.
-
- If you are compiling with GCC, then you must run fixincludes;
- the alternative of using -traditional won't work because
- the definition of SIGN_EXTEND_CHAR uses the keyword `signed'.
-
- If the SYSV world is the default, then you probably need the following
- line in etc/Makefile:
-
- CFLAGS= -g -systype bsd43
-
- Some operating systems on MIPS machines give SIGTRAP for division by
- zero instead of the usual signals. The only real solution is to fix
- the system to give a proper signal.
-
- In the meantime, you can change init_data in data.c if you wish.
- Change it to handle SIGTRAP as well as SIGFPE. But this will have a
- great disadvantage: you will not be able to run Emacs under a
- debugger. I think crashing on division by zero is a lesser problem.
-
- dsg@mitre.org reported needing to use --x-libraries=/bsd43/usr/lib
- on a riscos4bsd site. But it is not clear whether this is needed in
- general or only because of quirks on a particular site.

+ For installation on MSDOS, see the file msdos/INSTALL.
+ See the "MS-DOS" chapter of the manual for information about using
+ Emacs on MSDOS.
- Supported, including shared libraries for ELF, but ptys do not work
- because TIOCGPGRP fails to work on ptys (but Dell 2.2 seems to have
- fixed this). This failure is probably due to a misunderstanding of
- the consequences of the POSIX spec: many system designers mistakenly
- think that POSIX requires this feature to fail. This is untrue;
- ptys are an extension, and POSIX says that extensions *when used*
- may change the action of standard facilities in any fashion.
-
- If you get compilation errors about wrong number of
- arguments to getpgrp, define GETPGRP_NO_ARG.
-
- The standard C preprocessor may generate xmakefile incorrectly. However,
- /lib/cpp will work, so use `make CPP=/lib/cpp'. Standard cpp
- seems to work OK under Dell 2.2.
-
- Some versions 3 and earlier of V.4, on the Intel 386 and 860, had
- problems in the X11 libraries. These prevent Emacs from working
- with X. You can use Emacs with X provided your copy of X is based
- on X11 release 4 or newer, or is Dell's 2.2 (which is a 4.0.3).
- Unfortunately, the only way you can tell whether your X11 library is
- new enough is to try compiling Emacs to use X. If emacs runs, your
- X11 library is new enough.
-
- In this context, GSV4 and GSV4i are alternate names for X11R4.
- OL2.* is X11R3 based. OL3 is in between X11R3 and X11R4, and may or
- may not work, depending on who made the Unix system. If the library
- libXol is part of the X distribution, then you have X11R3 and Emacs
- won't work with X.
-
- Most versions of V.4 support sockets. If `/usr/lib/libsocket.so'
- exists, your system supports them. If yours does not, you must add
- #undef HAVE_SOCKETS in config.h, after the inclusion of s-usg5-4.h.
- (Any system that supports Internet should implement sockets.)
-
-VMS (vmsM.N)
-
- Richard Levitte <levitte@e.kth.se> distributes a set of patches to
- Emacs 18.59 to make it work nicely under VMS. Emacs 19 probably
- won't work very well, or even compile. Levitte is working on a
- port, so these problems should be fixed in the near future.
-
- Note that Emacs for VMS is usually distributed in a special VMS
- distribution. See the file ../vms/VMSINSTALL for info on moving
- Unix distributions to VMS, and other VMS-related topics.

No special procedures should be needed to build a 64-bit Emacs. To
build a 32-bit Emacs, first ensure that the necessary 32-bit system
(using the location of the 32-bit X libraries on your system).
