This is a list of the status of GNU Emacs on various machines and systems.
-Last updated 27 December 1990.
+Last updated 4 March 1991.
+
+For each system and machine, we give the `-opsystem' and `-machine'
+options you should pass to config.emacs to prepare to build Emacs for
+that system/machine.
+
+These options tell Emacs which machine- and system-descriptive files
+to include. For each `-machine=MACHNAME' option, there exists a file
+`src/m/MACHNAME.h', and for each `-opsystem=OSNAME' option, there
+exists a file `src/s/OSNAME.h'.
Systems:
- For each type of system, the name of the appropriate s- header file
- is given.
-Berkeley 4.1 (s-bsd4-1.h)
+Berkeley 4.1 (-opsystem=bsd4-1)
Works on vaxes.
-Berkeley 4.2 (s-bsd4-2.h)
+Berkeley 4.2 (-opsystem=bsd4-2)
Works on several machines.
-Berkeley 4.3 (s-bsd4-3.h)
+Berkeley 4.3 (-opsystem=bsd4-3)
Works, on Vaxes at least.
See under "Intel 386".
-System V rel 0 (s-usg5-0.h)
+System V rel 0 (-opsystem=usg5-0)
Works, on Vaxes and 3bxxx's.
There are some problems in 18.37 due to shortnames/cccp problems:
use the emacs 17 cpp if you have it.
-System V rel 2 (s-usg5-2.h)
+System V rel 2 (-opsystem=usg5-2)
Works on various machines.
On some (maybe all) machines the library -lPW exists and contains
a version of `alloca'. On these machines, to use it, put
#define HAVE_ALLOCA
#define LIB_STANDARD -lPW -lc
- in the m-...h file for the machine.
+ in the src/m/MACHINENAME.h file for the machine.
If you find that the character Meta-DEL makes Emacs crash,
find where function init_sys_modes in sysdep.c sets sg.c_cc[VQUIT]
and make it store 7 there. I have as yet no evidence of whether
this problem, known in HP-UX, exists in other system V versions.
-System V rel 2.2 (s-usg5-2-2.h)
+System V rel 2.2 (-opsystem=usg5-2-2)
In 5.2.2 AT&T undid, incompatibly, their previous incompatible
change to the way the nlist library is called. A different s- file
NO_REMAP. It is not yet known whether this applies to all
machines running 5.2.2.
-System V rel 3 (s-usg5-3.h)
+System V rel 3 (-opsystem=usg5-3)
Some versions of this system support ptys and BSD-style sockets.
On such systems, you should define HAVE_PTYS and HAVE_SOCKETS in config.h.
If you want to link Emacs with shared libraries, define
USG_SHARED_LIBRARIES.
-System V rel 4 (s-usg5-4.h)
+System V rel 4 (-opsystem=usg5-4)
Supported, including shared libraries for ELF, but ptys do not
work because TIOCGPGRP fails to work on ptys.
The standard C preprocessor generate xmakefile incorrectly. However,
/lib/cpp will work, so use `make CPP=/lib/cpp'.
-Ultrix (s-bsd4-2.h)
+Ultrix (-opsystem=bsd4-2)
DEC's Ultrix OS is essentially Berkeley 4.2. It does not correctly
implement certain features of 4.3.
The problem is said to be gone in UWS version 2.1.
-Uniplus 5.2 (s-unipl5-2.h)
+Uniplus 5.2 (-opsystem=unipl5-2)
Works, on Dual machines at least.
-VMS (s-vms.h)
+VMS (-opsystem=vms)
Works except for certain features (directory listing, dired,
sending and receiving mail) that use synchronous subprocesses.
Xenix
Should work in 18.50, but you will need to edit the files
- etc/Makefile and src/ymakefile
+ lib-src/Makefile and src/ymakefile
(see the comments that mention "Xenix" for what to change.)
Compiling Emacs with -O is said not to work.
If you want Emacs to work with Smail (installed as /usr/bin/smail)
then add the line #define SMAIL to config.h.
- The file etc/XENIX suggests some useful things to do to Xenix
+ The file share-lib/XENIX suggests some useful things to do to Xenix
to make the Emacs meta key work.

Machines:
- For each type of machine, the names of the m- and s- header files
- are given.
-Alliant (m-alliant4.h or m-alliant.h or m-alliant1.h; s-bsd4-2.h)
+Alliant (-machine=alliant4, -machine=alliant or -machine=alliant1;
+ -opsystem=bsd4-2)
18.52 works on system version 4. Previous Emacs versions were
known to work on previous system versions.
- Use m-alliant1.h on version 1 of their operating system
- and use m-alliant.h on version 2 or 3.
- Use m-alliant4.h on version 4.
+ Use -machine=alliant1 on version 1 of their operating system
+ and use -machine=alliant on version 2 or 3.
+ Use -machine=alliant4 on version 4.
+
+Alliant FX/2800 (-machine=alliant-2800; -opsystem=bsd4-3)
+
+ Known to work with 18.58 and OS version 2.2, compiler version 1.3.
-Altos 3068 (m-altos.h; s-usg5-2.h)
+Altos 3068 (-machine=altos; -opsystem=usg5-2)
18.52 is said to work, provided you don't compile unexec.c with -O.
-Amdahl UTS (m-amdahl.h; s-usg5-2-2.h)
+Amdahl UTS (-machine=amdahl; -opsystem=usg5-2-2)
Small changes for 18.38 were merged in 18.39. It is mostly
working, but at last report a bug sometimes causes Emacs to
even worth trying to use it. Success was obtained with the
uts native C compiler on uts version 5.2.5.
-Apollo running Domain (m-apollo.h; s-bsd4-2.h)
+Apollo running Domain (-machine=apollo; -opsystem=bsd4-2)
18.52 works, to some extent.
Code for dumping Emacs has been written, but we cannot
distribute it yet.
There are reports of bugs in cc -O on this system.
- In etc/Makefile, don't expect emacsclient and emacsserver to
+ In lib-src/Makefile, don't expect emacsclient and emacsserver to
compile. You might want to remove them from your makefile.
Supposedly something in dired.c runs into a compiler bug.
- Paraphrasing the statement should avoid the problem.
- I havenot yet received word as to the exact statement this is.
+ Paraphrasing the statement should avoid the problem. I have not yet

+AT&T 3b2, 3b5, 3b15, 3b20 (-machine=att3b; -opsystem=usg5-2-2)
Emacs will probably not work with certain kernel constants too small.
The MAXMEM may also prevent Emacs from running. The file
3B-MAXMEM in this directory explains how to increase MAXMEM.
-AT&T 7300 or 3b1 (m-7300.h; s-usg5-2-2.h)
+AT&T 7300 or 3b1 (-machine=7300; -opsystem=usg5-2-2)
- 18.52 seems to work. If you have strange troubles with dumping Emacs,
- delete the last few lines from m-7300.h and recompile. These lines
- are supposed to produce a sharable executable.

working in a newer version. This has not been fixed.
-DECstation (m-pmax.h; s-bsd4-2.h)
+DECstation (-machine=pmax; -opsystem=bsd4-2)
Works, as of 18.55. See under Ultrix for problems using X windows
on Ultrix. Note that this is a MIPS machine.
+ For Ultrix versions prior to 4.0, you may need to delete
+ the definition of START_FILES from src/m/pmax.h.
-Delta (m-delta.h; s-usg5-3.h)
+Motorola Delta 147 (-machine=delta; -opsystem=usg5-3)

Dumping should work now.
-Encore machine (m-ns16000.h; s-umax.h)
+Encore machine (-machine=ns16000; -opsystem=umax)
This machine bizarrely uses 4.2BSD modified to use the COFF format
for object files. Works (as of 18.40). For the APC processor you

UTX/32 1.3 has a bug in the bcopy library routine. Fix it by
- #undef BSTRING in m-gould.h.
+ #undef BSTRING in -machine=gould.
Version 19 incorporates support for releases 2.1 and later of UTX/32.
