Fix rmail summary commands to work with rmail-mail-new-frame.
[bpt/emacs.git] / etc / MACHINES
1 This is a list of the status of GNU Emacs on various machines and systems.
2
3 For each system and machine, we give the configuration name you should
4 pass to the `configure' script to prepare to build Emacs for that
5 system/machine.
6
7 The `configure' script uses the configuration name to decide which
8 machine and operating system description files `src/config.h' should
9 include. The machine description files are all in `src/m', and have
10 names similar to, but not identical to, the machine names used in
11 configuration names. The operating system files are all in `src/s',
12 and are named similarly. See the `configure' script if you need to
13 know which configuration names use which machine and operating system
14 description files.
15
16 If you add support for a new configuration, add a section to this
17 file, and then edit the `configure' script to tell it which
18 configuration name(s) should select your new machine description and
19 system description files.
20
21 \f
22 Here are the configurations Emacs is intended to work with, with the
23 corresponding configuration names. You can postpend version numbers
24 to operating system names (i.e. sunos4.1) or architecture names (i.e.
25 hppa1.1). If you leave out the version number, the `configure' script
26 will configure Emacs for the latest version it knows about.
27
28 Alliant (fx80-alliant-bsd):
29
30 18.52 worked on system version 4. Previous Emacs versions were
31 known to work on previous system versions.
32
33 If you are using older versions of their operating system, you may
34 need to edit `src/config.h' to use `m/alliant1.h' (on version 1) or
35 `m/alliant.h' (on versions 2 and 3).
36
37 Alliant FX/2800 (i860-alliant-bsd)
38
39 Known to work with 18.58 and OS version 2.2, compiler version 1.3.
40
41 Altos 3068 (m68k-altos-sysv)
42
43 18.52 was said to work, provided you don't compile unexec.c with -O.
44
45 Amdahl UTS (580-amdahl-sysv)
46
47 Small changes for 18.38 were merged in 18.39. It is mostly
48 working, but at last report a bug sometimes causes Emacs to
49 grab very large amounts of memory. No fix or explanation
50 has yet been reported. It may be possible to find this bug
51 if you find which Emacs command it happens within and then
52 run that command with a breakpoint set at malloc.
53
54 The 5.2u370 compiler is so brain damaged that it is not
55 even worth trying to use it. Success was obtained with the
56 uts native C compiler on uts version 5.2.5.
57
58 Apollo running Domain (m68k-apollo-bsd)
59
60 18.52 works, to some extent.
61 Code for dumping Emacs has been written, but we cannot distribute it yet.
62 There are reports of bugs in cc -O on this system.
63
64 In `lib-src/Makefile', don't expect emacsclient and emacsserver to
65 compile. You might want to remove them from your makefile.
66
67 Supposedly something in dired.c runs into a compiler bug.
68 Paraphrasing the statement should avoid the problem. I have not yet
69 received word as to the exact statement this is.
70
71 The Apollo has a bizarre operating system which does not permit
72 Emacs to be dumped with preloaded pure Lisp code. Therefore, each
73 time you start Emacs on this system, the standard Lisp code is loaded
74 into it. Expect it to take a long time. You can prevent loading of
75 the standard Lisp code by specifying the -nl switch. It must
76 come at the beginning of the command line; only the -t and -batch
77 switches may come before it.
78
79 There is one remaining problem on the Apollo. You must replace
80 the CPP line in src/Makefile with "CPP = /usr/lib/cpp".
81 The C preprocessor lives there rather than in /lib/cpp because the
82 Aegis OS uses the /lib directory as the repository for shared libraries.
83
84
85 Here is a design for a method of dumping and reloading the relevant
86 necessary impure areas of Emacs.
87
88 On dumping, you need to dump only the array `pure' plus the
89 locations that contain values of forwarded Lisp variables or that are
90 protected for garbage collection. The former can be found by a
91 garbage- collection-like technique, and the latter are in the
92 staticprolist vector (see alloc.c for both things).
93
94 Reloading would work in an Emacs that has just been started; except
95 when a switch is specified to inhibit this, it would read the dump
96 file and set all the appropriate locations. The data loaded must be
97 relocated, but that's not hard. Those locations that are of type
98 Lisp_Object can be found by a technique like garbage-collection, and
99 those of them that point to storage can be relocated. The other data
100 read from the file will not need to be relocated.
101
102 The switch to inhibit loading the data base would be used when it
103 is time to dump a new data base.
104
105 This would take a few seconds, which is much faster than loading
106 the Lisp code of Emacs from scratch.
107
108 AT&T 3b2, 3b5, 3b15, 3b20 (we32k-att-sysv)
109
110 Emacs will probably not work with certain kernel constants too small.
111
112 In param.h CDLIMIT should be at least (1L << 12) in order to allow
113 processes to write up to 2 Mbyte files. This parameter is configurable
114 by normal means in /etc/master.d/kernel; examine that file for the
115 symbol CDLIMIT or ULIMIT, and raise it by several powers of 2. Then
116 do normal kernel rebuild things via "cd /boot; mkboot -k KERNEL" and so
117 forth.
118
119 In seg.h NSEGP and STACKSEG should be at least 16 and 4 respectively
120 to allow processes with total size of up to 2Mbytes.
121 However, I'm told it is unlikely this would fail to be true.
122
123 The MAXMEM may also prevent Emacs from running. The file
124 3B-MAXMEM in this directory explains how to increase MAXMEM.
125
126 AT&T 7300 or 3b1 (m68k-att-sysv)
127
128 18.52 worked. If you have strange troubles with dumping
129 Emacs, delete the last few lines from `src/m/7300.h' and recompile.
130 These lines are supposed to produce a sharable executable.
131
132 `src/m/7300.h' defines SHORTNAMES because operating system versions
133 older than 3.5 did not support long symbol names. Version 3.5 does
134 support them, so you can remove the #define SHORTNAMES in that
135 version.
136
137 Bull sps7 (m68k-bull-sysv)
138
139 Changes partially merged in version 19, but some fixes are probably required.
140
141 CCI 5/32, 6/32
142
143 See "Tahoe".
144
145 Celerity (celerity-celerity-bsd4.2)
146
147 Version 18.49 worked. This configuration name is a hack, because we
148 don't know the processor used by Celerities. If someone
149 who uses a Celerity could get in touch with us, we can teach
150 config.sub a better name for the configuration.
151
152 Clipper (clipper-???)
153
154 Version 19 has support for some brand of clipper system. If you
155 have successfully built Emacs 19 on some sort of clipper system, let
156 us know so we can flesh out this entry.
157
158 Note that the Orion 105 is also a clipper, but some system-related
159 parameters are different.
160
161 Convex (c1-convex-bsd, c2-convex-bsd, c32-convex-bsd, c34-convex-bsd,
162 c38-convex-bsd)
163
164 18.53 supposedly to work.
165
166 Cubix QBx/386 (i386-cubix-sysv)
167
168 Changes merged in 19.1. Systems before 2/A/0 may fail to compile etags.c
169 due to a compiler bug.
170
171 Cydra 5 (cydra-cydrome-sysv)
172
173 18.51 worked in one version of their operating system but stopped
174 working in a newer version. This has not been fixed.
175
176 DECstation (mips-dec-ultrix or mips-dec-osf)
177
178 Version 19 works under Ultrix.
179
180 See under Ultrix for problems using X windows on Ultrix.
181 Note that this is a MIPS machine.
182
183 For Ultrix versions 4.1 or earlier, you may need to define
184 SYSTEM_MALLOC in `src/m/pmax.h', because XvmsAlloc.o in libX11.a seems
185 to insist on defining malloc itself.
186
187 For Ultrix versions prior to 4.0, you may need to delete
188 the definition of START_FILES from `src/m/pmax.h'.
189
190 Motorola Delta 147 (m68k-motorola-sysv)
191
192 Motorola Delta boxes running System V/68 release 3.
193 (tested on sys1147 with SVR3V5). Changes merged in 19.1.
194
195 Motorola Delta 187 (m88k-motorola-sysv or m88k-motorola-m88kbcs)
196
197 Machine support added in version 19.
198 HAVE_X_MENU does not work due to lack of insque.
199
200 Dual running System V (m68k-dual-sysv)
201
202 As of 17.46, this worked except for a few changes
203 needed in unexec.c.
204
205 Dual running Uniplus (m68k-dual-uniplus)
206
207 Worked, as of 17.51.
208
209 Elxsi 6400 (elxsi-elxsi-sysv)
210
211 Changes for 12.0 release are in 19.1.
212 Dumping should work now.
213
214 Encore machine (ns16k-encore-bsd)
215
216 This machine bizarrely uses 4.2BSD modified to use the COFF format
217 for object files. Works (as of 18.40). For the APC processor you
218 must enable two lines at the end of `src/s/umax.h', which are commented
219 out in the file as distributed.
220
221 WARNING: If you compile Emacs with the "-O" compiler switch, you
222 must also use the "-q enter_exits" switch so that all functions have
223 stack frames. Otherwise routines that call `alloca' all lose.
224
225 A kernel bug in some system versions causes input characters to be lost
226 occasionally.
227
228 GEC 63 (local-gec63-usg5.2)
229
230 Changes are partially merged in version 18, but certainly require
231 more work. Let us know if you get this working, and we'll give it a
232 real configuration name.
233
234 Gould Power Node (pn-gould-bsd4.2 or pn-gould-bsd4.3)
235
236 18.36 worked on versions 1.2 and 2.0 of the operating system.
237
238 On UTX/32 2.0, use pn-gould-bsd4.3.
239
240 On UTX/32 1.2 and UTX/32S 1.0, use pn-gould-bsd4.2 and note that
241 compiling `lib-src/sorted-doc' tickles a compiler bug: remove the -g
242 flag to cc in the makefile.
243
244 UTX/32 1.3 has a bug in the bcopy library routine. Fix it by
245 #undef BSTRING in `src/m/gould.h'.
246
247 Version 19 incorporates support for releases 2.1 and later of UTX/32.
248 A site running a pre-release of 2.1 should #define RELEASE2_1 in config.h.
249
250 Gould NP1 (np1-gould-bsd)
251
252 Version 19 supposedly works.
253
254 Honeywell XPS100 (xps100-honeywell-sysv)
255
256 Config file added in version 19.
257
258 HP 9000 series 200 or 300 (m68k-hp-bsd or m68k-hp-hpux7.)
259
260 Version 19 works under BSD.
261
262 These machines are 68000-series CPUs running HP-UX
263 (a derivative of sysV with some BSD features) or BSD 4.3 ported by Utah.
264 The operating system suffix determines which system Emacs is built for.
265
266 Series 200 HPUX runs Emacs only if it has the "HP-UX upgrade".
267
268 If you are running HP-UX release 8.0 or later, you need the optional
269 "C/ANSI C" software in order to build Emacs (older releases of HP-UX
270 do not require any special software). If the file "/etc/filesets/C"
271 exists on your machine, you have this software, otherwise you do not.
272
273 Note that HP has used two incompatible assembler syntaxes,
274 and has recently changed the format of C function frames.
275 `src/crt0.c' and `src/alloca.s' have been conditionalised for the new
276 assembler and new function-entry sequence. You may need to define
277 OLD_HP_ASSEMBLER if you are using an older hpux version. If you
278 have an official (bought from HP) series 300 machine you have
279 the new assembler. Kernels that are 5.+ or later have new
280 assembler. A Series 200 that has been upgraded to a 68010
281 processor and a 5.+ kernel has the new compiler.
282
283 Define C_SWITCH_MACHINE to be +X to make a version of Emacs that
284 runs on both 68010 and 68020 based hp-ux's.
285
286 Define HPUX_68010 if you are using the new assembler, for
287 a system that has a 68010 without a 68881. This is to say,
288 a s200 (upgraded) or s310.
289
290 Define the symbol HPUX_NET if you have the optional network features
291 that include the `netunam' system call. This is refered to as
292 Network Services (NS/9000) in HP literature.
293
294 HP 9000 series 500: not supported.
295
296 The series 500 has a seriously incompatible memory architecture
297 which relocates data in memory during execution of a program,
298 and support for it would be difficult to implement.
299
300 HP 9000 series 800 (Spectrum) (hppa1.0-hp-hpux)
301
302 These files support HP's Precision Architecture machines
303 running HP-UX. It has been moderately tested on the Series
304 840.
305
306 If you are running HP-UX release 8.0 or later, you need the optional
307 "C/ANSI C" software in order to build Emacs (older releases of HP-UX
308 do not require any special software). If the file "/etc/filesets/C"
309 exists on your machine, you have this software, otherwise you do not.
310
311 High Level Hardware Orion (orion-highlevel-bsd)
312
313 This is the original microprogrammed hardware.
314 Machine description file ought to work.
315
316 High Level Hardware Orion 1/05 (clipper-highlevel-bsd)
317
318 Changes merged in 18.52. This is the one with the Clipper cpu.
319 Note that systems which lack NFS need LOAD_AVE_TYPE changed to `double'.
320
321 C compiler has a bug; it loops compiling eval.c.
322 Compile it by hand without optimization.
323
324 IBM PS/2 (i386-ibm-aix1.1 or i386-ibm-aix1.2)
325
326 Changes merged in version 19. You may need to copy
327 /usr/lib/samples/hft/hftctl.c to the Emacs src directory.
328
329 i386-ibm-aix1.1 may not work with certain new X window managers, and
330 may be suboptimal.
331
332 IBM RS/6000 (rs6000-ibm-aix)
333
334 Changes merged in version 19. Currently the configuration
335 does not actually depend on the version of AIX.
336
337 Compiling with -O using the IBM compiler has been known
338 to make Emacs work incorrectly.
339
340 IBM RT/PC (romp-ibm-bsd or romp-ibm-aix)
341
342 18.52 worked on both operating systems.
343 Use romp-ibm-bsd for the 4.2-like system and romp-ibm-aix for AIX.
344
345 On BSD, if you have trouble, try compiling with a different compiler.
346
347 On AIX, the file /usr/lib/samples/hft/hftctl.c must be compiled into
348 hftctl.o, with this result left in the src directory (hftctl.c is
349 part of the standard AIX distribution).
350
351 window.c must not be compiled with -O on AIX.
352
353 Integrated Solutions `Optimum V' (m68k-isi-bsd4.2 or -bsd4.3)
354
355 18.52 said to work on some sort of ISI machine.
356 Version 18.45 worked (running on a Optimum V (VME bus, 68020)
357 BSD 4.2 (3.05e) system). 18.42 is reported to work on
358 a Qbus 68010 system. Has not been tried on `WorkStation' `Cluster
359 Compute Node' `Cluster WorkStation' or `Server Node' (Love the
360 StudLYCaps)
361
362 Compilation with -O is rumored to break something.
363
364 On recent system versions, you may need to undefine the macro UMAX
365 in `lib-src/loadst.c' and `src/getpagesize.h'. They stupidly defined this
366 in a system header file, which confuses Emacs (which thinks that UMAX
367 indicates the Umax operating system).
368
369 Intel 386 (i386-unknown-isc, i386-unknown-esix, i386-unknown-xenix,
370 i386-intsys-sysv, i386-unknown-sysv5.2.2, i386-unknown-sysv5.3,
371 and i386-unknown-bsd4.2)
372
373 18.58 should support a wide variety of operating systems.
374 Make sure to use i386-unknown-isc2.2 for Interactive 386/ix version
375 2.2 or later.
376 Use i386-unknown-esix for Esix.
377 Use i386-intsys-sysv for Integrated Solutions 386 machines.
378 It may also be correct for Microport systems.
379 It isn't clear what to do on an SCO system. The system's C
380 preprocessor doesn't seem to handle the src subdirectory's Make
381 trickery, so you will probably need to install the GNU C preprocessor.
382
383 If you are using Xenix, see notes above under Xenix.
384
385 Some sysV.3 systems seem to have bugs in `opendir';
386 for them, alter `config.h' to define NONSYSTEM_DIR_LIBRARY
387 and undefine SYSV_SYSTEM_DIR.
388
389 If you use optimization on V.3, you may need the option -W2,'-y 0'
390 to prevent certain faulty optimization.
391
392 On 386/ix, to link with shared libraries, add #define USG_SHARED_LIBRARIES
393 to config.h.
394
395 There is no consistency in the handling of certain system header files
396 on V.3.
397
398 Some versions have sys/sioctl.h, and require it in sysdep.c.
399 But some versions do not have sys/sioctl.h.
400 For a given version of the system, this may depend on whether you have
401 X Windows or TCP/IP. Define or undefine NO_SIOCTL_H in config.h
402 according to whether you have the file.
403
404 Likewise, some versions have been known to need sys/ttold.h, sys/stream.h,
405 and sys/ptem.h included in sysdep.c. If your system has these files,
406 try defining NEED_PTEM_H in config.h if you have trouble without it.
407
408 You may find that adding -I/usr/X/include or -I/usr/netinclude or both
409 to CFLAGS avoids compilation errors on certain systems.
410
411 Some versions convince sysdep.c to try to use `struct tchars'
412 but define `struct tc' instead; add `#define tchars tc'
413 to config.h to solve this problem.
414
415 Iris 2500 and Iris 2500 Turbo (m68k-sgi-iris3.5 or m68k-sgi-iris3.6)
416
417 Version 18 was said to work; use m68k-sgi-iris3.5 for system version 2.5
418 and m68k-sgi-iris3.6 for system version 3.6.
419 Note that the 3030 is the same as the Iris 2500 Turbo.
420
421 Iris 4D (mips-sgi-irix3.3 or mips-sgi-irix4.0)
422
423 18.58 is known to work on Silicon Graphics 4D series machines
424 with IRIX 3.3 or IRIX 4.0. Version 19 should support the
425 ANSI C compiler version 3.10.
426
427 Most irix3.3 systems do not have an ANSI C compiler, but a few do.
428 If you are using the ANSI C compiler, you may need to add
429 #define C_SWITCH_MACHINE -cckr
430 to config.h.
431
432 There is a bug in IRIX that can sometimes leave ptys owned by
433 root with a permission of 622. This causes malfunctions in use
434 of subprocesses of Emacs. This may be fixed in IRIX 4.0.5.
435
436 Macintosh
437
438 We are boycotting Apple because of Apple's efforts to take away
439 our freedom to write compatible imitations of existing software.
440 If you value your freedom to write such programs, we urge you
441 not to buy from Apple, not to develop software for Apple, and
442 certainly not to accept a job with Apple.
443
444 See the file APPLE in this directory for more information.
445
446 Masscomp (m68k-masscomp-rtu)
447
448 18.36 worked on a 5500DP running RTU v3.1a and compiler version 3.2
449 with minor fixes that are included in 18.37. However, bizarre behavior
450 was reported for 18.36 on a Masscomp (model and version unknown but probably
451 a 68020 system). The report sounds like a compiler bug.
452
453 A compiler bug affecting statements like
454 unsigned char k; unsigned char *p;... x = p[k];
455 has been reported for "C version 1.2 under RTU 3.1". We do not wish
456 to take the time to install the numerous workarounds required to
457 compensate for this bug; go complain to Masscomp.
458
459 For RTU version 3.1, define FIRST_PTY_LETTER to be 'p' in `src/s/rtu.h'
460 (or #undef and redefine it in config.h) so that ptys will be used.
461
462 GNU Emacs is said to have no chance of compiling on RTU versions
463 prior to v3.0.
464
465 Megatest (m68k-megatest-bsd)
466
467 Emacs 15 worked; do not have any reports about Emacs 16 or 17
468 but any new bugs are probably not difficult.
469
470 Mips (mips-mips-riscos, mips-mips-riscos4.0, or mips-mips-bsd)
471
472 Changes merged in 18.39. Some fixes in 18.56.
473
474 Use mips-mips-riscos4.0 for RISCOS version 4.
475 Use mips-mips-bsd with the BSD world.
476
477 Note that the proper configuration names for DECstations are
478 mips-dec-ultrix and mips-dec-osf.
479
480 If you are compiling with GCC, then you must run fixincludes;
481 the alternative of using -traditional won't work because
482 the definition of SIGN_EXTEND_CHAR uses the keyword `signed'.
483
484 If the SYSV world is the default, then you probably need the following
485 line in etc/Makefile:
486
487 CFLAGS= -g -systype bsd43
488
489 Some operating systems on MIPS machines give SIGTRAP for division by
490 zero instead of the usual signals. The only real solution is to fix
491 the system to give a proper signal.
492
493 In the meantime, you can change init_data in data.c if you wish.
494 Change it to handle SIGTRAP as well as SIGFPE. But this will have a
495 great disadvantage: you will not be able to run Emacs under a
496 debugger. I think crashing on division by zero is a lesser problem.
497
498 National Semiconductor 32000 (ns32k-ns-genix)
499
500 This is for a complete machine from National Semiconductor,
501 running Genix. Changes merged in version 19.
502
503 NCR Tower 32 (m68k-ncr-sysv2 or m68k-ncr-sysv3)
504
505 If you are running System V release 2, use m68k-ncr-sysv2.
506 If you are running System V release 3, use m68k-ncr-sysv3.
507
508 These both worked as of 18.56. If you change `src/ymakefile' so that
509 CFLAGS includes C_OPTIMIZE_SWITCH rather than C_DEBUG_SWITCH, check
510 out the comments in `src/m/tower32.h' (for System V release 2) or
511 `src/m/tower32v3.h' (for System V release 3) about this.
512
513 There is a report that compilation with -O did not work with 18.54
514 under System V release 2.
515
516 Nixdorf Targon 31 (m68k-nixdorf-sysv)
517
518 Machine description file for version 17 is included in 18
519 but whether it works is not known.
520 `src/unexec.c' bombs if compiled with -O.
521 Note that the "Targon 35" is really a Pyramid.
522
523 Nu (TI or LMI) (m68k-nu-sysv)
524
525 Version 18 is believed to work.
526
527 Plexus (m68k-plexus-sysv)
528
529 Worked as of 17.56.
530
531 Pmax (DEC Mips) (mips-dec-ultrix or mips-dec-osf1)
532
533 See under DECstation, above.
534
535 Prime EXL (i386-prime-sysv)
536
537 Minor changes merged in 19.1.
538
539 Pyramid (pyramid-pyramid-bsd)
540
541 You need to build Emacs in the Berkeley universe with
542 the `ucb' command, as in `ucb make' or `ucb build-install'.
543
544 In OSx 4.0, it seems necessary to add the following two lines
545 to `src/m/pyramid.h':
546 #define _longjmp longjmp
547 #define _setjmp setjmp
548
549 In Pyramid system 2.5 there has been a compiler bug making
550 Emacs crash just after screen-splitting with Qnil containing 0.
551 A compiler that fixes this is Pyramid customer number 8494,
552 internal number 1923.
553
554 Some versions of the pyramid compiler get fatal
555 errors when the -gx compiler switch is used; if this
556 happens to you, change `src/m/pyramid.h' to define
557 C_DEBUG_SWITCH with an empty definition.
558
559 Some old system versions may require you to define PYRAMID_OLD
560 in when alloca.s is preprocessed, in order to define _longjmp and _setjmp.
561
562 Sequent Balance (ns32k-sequent-bsd4.2 or ns32k-sequent-bsd4.3)
563
564 Emacs 18.51 worked on system version 3.0. 18.52 is said to work.
565 Delete some lines at the end of `src/m/sequent.h' for earlier system
566 versions.
567
568 Sequent Symmetry (i386-sequent-bsd)
569
570 Emacs 19 should work.
571
572 SONY News (m68k-sony-bsd4.2 or m68k-sony-bsd4.3)
573
574 18.52 worked. Use m68k-sony-bsd4.3 for system release 3.
575
576 SONY News 3000 series (RISC NEWS) (mips-sony-bsd)
577
578 Worked, as of 18.56. Note that this is a MIPS architecture machine.
579
580 Some versions of the operating system give SIGTRAP for division by zero
581 instead of the usual signals. This causes division by zero
582 to make Emacs crash. The system should be fixed to give the proper signal.
583 Changing Emacs is not a proper solution, because it would prevent
584 Emacs from working under any debugger. But you can change init_data
585 in data.c if you wish.
586
587 Stardent 1500 or 3000
588
589 See Titan.
590
591 Stride (m68k-stride-sysv)
592
593 Works (most recent news for 18.30) on their release 2.0.
594 For release 2.2, see the end of `src/m/stride.h'.
595 It may be possible to run on their V.1 system but changes
596 in the s- file would be needed.
597
598 Sun 1, 2 and 3 (m68k-sun-sunos, sparc-sun-sunos, i386-sun-sunos)
599
600 It's important to include the SunOS version number in the
601 configuration name. For example, for SunOS release 4.0 on a Sun 3,
602 use `m68k-sun-sunos4.0'; for SunOS release 4.1 on a Sparc, use
603 `sparc-sun-sunos4.1'.
604
605 Use `m68k' for the 68000-based Sun boxes, `sparc' for Sparcstations,
606 and `i386' for Sun Roadrunners.
607
608 There are three machine files for the different versions of SunOS
609 that run on the Motorola 68000 processors. All are derived from
610 Berkeley 4.2. Emacs 17 has run on all of them.
611
612 See the file etc/SUNBUG for how to solve problems caused by
613 bugs in the "export" version of SunOS 4.
614
615 If you have trouble using open-network-stream, get the
616 distribution of `bind' (the BSD name-server), build libresolv.a,
617 and link Emacs with -lresolv. This problem is due to obsolete
618 software in the nonshared standard library.
619
620 If you want to use SunWindows, define HAVE_SUN_WINDOWS
621 in config.h to enable a special interface called `emacstool'.
622 The definition must *precede* the #include "machine.h".
623 System version 3.2 is required for this facility to work.
624
625 We recommend that you instead use the X window system, which
626 has technical advantages, is an industry standard, and is also
627 free software.
628
629 If you are compiling for X windows, and the X window library was
630 compiled to use the 68881, then you must edit config.h according
631 the comments at the end of `src/m/sun3.h'.
632
633 Note that Emacs on a Sun is not really as big as it looks.
634 As dumped, it includes around 200k of zeros between the
635 original text section and the original data section
636 (now remapped as part of the text). These are never
637 swapped in.
638
639 To build a single Emacs that will run on Sun 2 and Sun 3
640 HARDWARE, just build it on the Sun 2.
641
642 Changes for the Sparc architecture were merged in 18.50. Some
643 people say optimizing compilation does not work; some say that -O2
644 (whatever that is) works perhaps with a small change.
645
646 Changes for the Roadrunner architecture were merged in 18.51.
647
648 There is a bug in the Export version of SunOS 4.0 shipped outsde the
649 US; it has something to do with Pentagon export restrictions on the
650 DES chips in Suns. The symptom is that "cc -Bstatic ..." WILL NOT
651 WORK ON SUNOS 4.0 EXPORT without a little help from "ar". The
652 static C-library is /lib/libc.a, and this is where the problem
653 occurs. There are a bunch of .o files in there relating to DES
654 stuff (des_crypt.o, des_soft.o, _crypt.o, etc). All of them will
655 cause cc -Bstatic to die with these errors:
656
657 > _edata: ld: user attempt to redefine loader-defined symbol
658 > _end: user attempt to redefine loader-defined symbol
659 > _etext: /lib/libc.a(des_crypt.o): multiply defined
660
661 In order to make cc -Bstatic useful, you must remove all the
662 brain-damaged .o files from /lib/libc.a. To do this use
663
664 ar d /lib/libc.a des_crypt.o des_soft.o _crypt.o ....
665
666 (Make a backup of /lib/libc.a first, you may decide you need the "real"
667 thing someday). Note that there are a bunch of these files, these may
668 not be all of them. You will find them quick enough by trying to
669 compile ANY C program, even one which does NOTHING.
670
671 Tadpole 68K (m68k-tadpole-sysv)
672
673 Changes merged in 19.1.
674
675 You may need to edit Makefile to change the variables LIBDIR and
676 BINDIR from /usr/local to /usr/contrib.
677
678 To give movemail access to /usr/mail, you may need to execute
679
680 chmod 2755 etc/movemail; chgrp mail etc/movemail
681
682 Tahoe (tahoe-tahoe-bsd4.2 or tahoe-tahoe-bsd4.3)
683
684 18.52 was known to work on some Tahoes, but a compiler bug intervenes
685 on others. Some Emacs versions have worked in Unisys 1r4
686 (not in 1r3) and CCI I.21.
687
688 If you have trouble compiling `lib-src/loadst.c', turn off the definition
689 of DKSTAT_HEADER_FILE in `src/m/tahoe.h'.
690
691 Tandem Integrity S2 (mips-tandem-sysv)
692
693 Changes merged in 18.56 but subprocess support is turned off.
694 You will probably want to see if you can make subprocesses work.
695
696 You must edit `lib-src/Makefile' to define LOADLIBES = -mld.
697
698 Tektronix 16000 box (6130?) (ns16k-tektronix-bsd)
699
700 Emacs 17.61 worked.
701
702 Tektronix 4300 (m68k-tektronix-bsd)
703
704 Emacs 18.51 worked.
705
706 Titan P2 or P3 (titan-titan-sysv)
707
708 Changes probably merged in version 19.
709
710 Ustation E30 (SS5E) (m68k-unisys-unipl)
711
712 Changes merged in 18.52; don't know whether they work.
713
714 Vaxen running Berkeley Unix (vax-dec-bsd4.1, vax-dec-bsd4.2, vax-dec-bsd4.3),
715 Ultrix (vax-dec-ultrix),
716 System V (vax-dec-sysv0, vax-dec-sysv2), or
717 VMS (vax-dec-vms)
718
719 Works.
720
721 See under Ultrix for problems using X windows on Ultrix (vax-dec-ultrix).
722
723 18.27 worked on System V rel 2 (vax-dec-sysv2).
724
725 18.36 worked on System V rel 0 (vax-dec-sysv0).
726
727 18.36 was believed to work on VMS. Addition of features is necessary
728 to make this Emacs version more usable.
729
730 Whitechapel MG1 (ns16k-whitechapel-?)
731
732 May work. Supposedly no changes were needed except in `src/m/mg1.h'
733 file. I do not know what Unix version runs on them.
734
735 Wicat (m68k-wicat-sysv)
736
737 Changes merged as of 18.6; whether they work is unknown.
738 See comments in `src/m/wicat.h' for things you should change
739 depending on the system and compiler version you have.
740 \f
741 Here is a summary of the systems supported:
742
743 Berkeley 4.1 (bsd4.1)
744
745 Works on vaxes.
746
747 Berkeley 4.2 (bsd4.2)
748
749 Works on several machines.
750
751 Berkeley 4.3 (bsd4.3)
752
753 Works, on Vaxes at least.
754
755 Microport
756
757 See under "Intel 386".
758
759 System V rel 0 (usg5.0)
760
761 Works, on Vaxes and 3bxxx's.
762 There are some problems in 18.37 due to shortnames/cccp problems:
763 use the emacs 17 cpp if you have it.
764
765 System V rel 2 (usg5.2)
766
767 Works on various machines.
768 On some (maybe all) machines the library -lPW exists and contains
769 a version of `alloca'. On these machines, to use it, put
770 #define HAVE_ALLOCA
771 #define LIB_STANDARD -lPW -lc
772 in the `src/m/MACHINENAME.h' file for the machine.
773
774 If you find that the character Meta-DEL makes Emacs crash,
775 find where function init_sys_modes in sysdep.c sets sg.c_cc[VQUIT]
776 and make it store 7 there. I have as yet no evidence of whether
777 this problem, known in HP-UX, exists in other system V versions.
778
779 System V rel 2.2 (usg5.2.2)
780
781 In 5.2.2 AT&T undid, incompatibly, their previous incompatible
782 change to the way the nlist library is called. A different s- file
783 is used to enable the other interface.
784
785 They call themselves the right choice--can't they choose?
786
787 Emacs version 18 unexec is currently not working properly
788 on 5.2.2. Nobody knows why yet. A workaround is to define
789 NO_REMAP. It is not yet known whether this applies to all
790 machines running 5.2.2.
791
792 System V rel 3 (usg5.3)
793
794 Some versions of this system support ptys and BSD-style sockets.
795 On such systems, you should define HAVE_PTYS and HAVE_SOCKETS in config.h.
796
797 If you want to link Emacs with shared libraries, define
798 USG_SHARED_LIBRARIES.
799
800 You may have to add ANSI idempotence #-lines to your sys/types.h
801 file to get Emacs to compile correctly. This may be necessary on
802 other pre-ANSI systems as well.
803
804 On an AT&T 6386WGS using System V Release 3.2 and X11R3, the X support
805 cannot be made to work. Whether or not the GNU relocating malloc is
806 used, the symptom is that the first call Emacs makes to sbrk(0) returns
807 (char *)-1. Sorry, you're stuck with character-only mode. Try
808 installing Xfree86 to fix this.
809
810 System V rel 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 (usg5.4)
811
812 Supported, including shared libraries for ELF, but ptys do not work
813 because TIOCGPGRP fails to work on ptys (but Dell 2.2 seems to have
814 fixed this). This failure is probably due to a misunderstanding of
815 the consequences of the POSIX spec: many system designers mistakenly
816 think that POSIX requires this feature to fail. This is untrue;
817 ptys are an extension, and POSIX says that extensions *when used*
818 may change the action of standard facilities in any fashion.
819
820 The standard C preprocessor may generate xmakefile incorrectly. However,
821 /lib/cpp will work, so use `make CPP=/lib/cpp'. Standard cpp
822 seems to work OK under Dell 2.2.
823
824 Some versions 3 and earlier of V.4, on the Intel 386 and 860, had
825 problems in the X11 libraries. These prevent Emacs from working
826 with X. You can use Emacs with X provided your copy of X is based
827 on X11 release 4 or newer, or is Dell's 2.2 (which is a 4.0.3).
828 Unfortunately, the only way you can tell whether your X11 library is
829 new enough is to try compiling Emacs to use X. If emacs runs, your
830 X11 library is new enough.
831
832 In this context, GSV4 and GSV4i are alternate names for X11R4.
833 OL2.* is X11R3 based. OL3 is in between X11R3 and X11R4, and may or
834 may not work, depending on who made the Unix system. If the library
835 libXol is part of the X distribution, then you have X11R3 and Emacs
836 won't work with X.
837
838 Most versions of V.4 support sockets. If `/usr/lib/libsocket.so'
839 exists, your system supports them. If yours does not, you must add
840 #undef HAVE_SOCKETS in config.h, after the inclusion of s-usg5-4.h.
841 (Any system that supports Internet should implement sockets.)
842
843 Ultrix (bsd4.3)
844
845 Recent versions of Ultrix appear to support the features of Berkeley 4.3.
846 Ultrix was at the BSD 4.2 level for a long time after BSD 4.3 came out.
847
848 Ultrix 3.0 has incompatibilities in its X library if you have the
849 Ultrix version of X (UWS version 2.0). To solve them, you need to
850 prevent XvmsAlloc.o in Xlib from being used. Israel Pinkas says:
851
852 I added the following lines to config.h after the X defines:
853
854 #if defined(ultrix) && defined(X11)
855 #define OBJECTS_SYSTEM calloc.o
856 #endif
857
858 Then I ran the following:
859
860 ar x /usr/lib/libc.a calloc.o
861
862 The problem is said to be gone in UWS version 2.1.
863
864 Uniplus 5.2 (unipl5.2)
865
866 Works, on Dual machines at least.
867
868 VMS (vmsM.N)
869
870 The config file s/vms5-5.h may be right for some earlier versions;
871 please let us know what happens when you try it in VMS versions 5.0
872 thru 5.4.
873
874 Note that Emacs for VMS is usually distributed in a special VMS
875 distribution. See the file ../vms/VMSINSTALL for info on moving
876 Unix distributions to VMS, and other VMS-related topics.
877
878 Xenix (xenix)
879
880 Should work in 18.50, but you will need to edit the files
881 `lib-src/Makefile' and `src/ymakefile'
882 (see the comments that mention "Xenix" for what to change.)
883 Compiling Emacs with -O is said not to work.
884
885 If you want Emacs to work with Smail (installed as /usr/bin/smail)
886 then add the line #define SMAIL to config.h.
887
888 The file etc/XENIX suggests some useful things to do to Xenix
889 to make the Emacs meta key work.
