+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.
+
+The `configure' script uses the configuration name to decide which
+machine and operating system description files `src/config.h' should
+include. The machine description files are all in `src/m', and have
+names similar to, but not identical to, the machine names used in
+configuration names. The operating system files are all in `src/s',
+and are named similarly. See the `configure' script if you need to
+know which configuration names use which machine and operating system
+description files.
+
+If you add support for a new configuration, add a section to this
+file, and then edit the `configure' script to tell it which
+configuration name(s) should select your new machine description and
+system description files.
+
+\f
+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.
+
+Acorn RISCiX (arm-acorn-riscix1.2)
+
+ Emacs 19.29 has changes that ought to support RISCiX 1.2.
+
+ Due to a bug in the RISCiX C compiler (3.4.5), emacs must
+ be built with gcc (versions 2.5.8 onwards).
+
+ In addition, you will need GNU sed and GNU make, as the RISCiX release
+ versions of these utilities cannot cope with building emacs-19!
+
+ GNU sed should be configured with:
+
+ env 'DEFS=-Dgetopt=gnu_getopt -Dopterr=gnu_opterr -Doptind=gnu_optind \
+ -Doptarg=gnu_optarg' ./configure
+
+ GNU make (3.72+) should be configured with:
+
+ env 'CFLAGS=-Dgetopt=gnu_getopt -Dopterr=gnu_opterr -Doptind=gnu_optind \
+ -Doptarg=gnu_optarg' ./configure
+
+ Emacs may be configured to use the X toolkit, by adding --with-x-toolkit
+ to the configure command. If you do this, you will need to edit the line
+ in src/Makefile which defines LIBW (about line 59) to read:
+
+ LIBW= -lXaw_n
+
+ This ensures that the non-shared widget library is used.
+
+ It is unlikely that this version of emacs will work with RISCiX 1.1.
+
+Alliant (fx80-alliant-bsd):
+
+ 18.52 worked on system version 4. Previous Emacs versions were
+ known to work on previous system versions.
+
+ If you are using older versions of their operating system, you may
+ need to edit `src/config.h' to use `m/alliant1.h' (on version 1) or
+ `m/alliant.h' (on versions 2 and 3).
+
+Alliant FX/2800 (i860-alliant-bsd)
+
+ Known to work with 19.26 and OS version 2.2, compiler version 1.3.
+
+Alpha (DEC) running OSF/1 or GNU/Linux (alpha-dec-osf1, alpha-dec-linux-gnu)
+
+ For OSF/1 (aka Digital Unix) version 4.0, update 386,
+ it is reported that you need to run configure this way:
+
+ configure --x-includes=/usr/include --x-libraries=/usr/shlib
+
+ For 4.0 revision 564, and 4.0A and 4.0B, Emacs 20 seems to work
+ with no special configuration options. However, if you use GCC as
+ your compiler, you will need version 2.8.1 or later, as older
+ 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).
+
+Altos 3068 (m68k-altos-sysv)
+
+ 18.52 was said to work, provided you don't compile unexec.c with -O.
+
+Amdahl UTS (580-amdahl-sysv)
+
+ Small changes for 18.38 were merged in 18.39. It is mostly
+ working, but at last report a bug sometimes causes Emacs to
+ grab very large amounts of memory. No fix or explanation
+ has yet been reported. It may be possible to find this bug
+ if you find which Emacs command it happens within and then
+ run that command with a breakpoint set at malloc.
+
+ The 5.2u370 compiler is so brain damaged that it is not
+ even worth trying to use it. Success was obtained with the
+ uts native C compiler on uts version 5.2.5.
+
+Apollo running X Windows (m68k-apollo-bsd)
+
+ Apollo version now supports dumping. It has been tested on SR10.3 and
+ SR10.4. It certainly requires at least SR10.0, and maybe SR10.2. Be sure
+ to build in the BSD environment.
+
+ By default, everything is compiled with the switch "-W0,-opt,2". Don't try
+ to change this to full optimization (-O). The full optimizer (in Domain CC
+ 6.7, 6.8 and 6.9) generates some bad code in several modules which causes
+ the emacs window, under X, to be refreshed with each keystroke.
+
+ The configuration stuff should work for the most part. However, some Domain
+ installations may have to edit src/Makefile manually after it is created.
+ There are too many versions of both cc and X to automate this easily.
+
+ In `lib-src/Makefile', emacsclient and emacsserver compile and work fine
+ under CC 6.9. They now probably work under other versions of the compiler,
+ as well.
+
+ The Apollo Domain CC compiler will issue quite a few warning messages,
+ mostly complaining about incompatible pointers. In general, these are
+ harmless and can be ignored. If you discover otherwise, please submit a bug
+ report identifying the problem in detail.
+
+ When you try to dump emacs, you may get the message ".rwdi section needs
+ relocation." This means you are linking with some code that has compressed
+ data sections. In some cases this comes from linking with X libraries. Try
+ using shared X libraries instead. With some versions of Domain/OS this is
+ as simple as removing the "-lX11" from the LIBX line in src/Makefile.
+
+ When running the configure script, use the configuration name
+ "m68k-apollo-bsd". You will also need to use the "-with-gcc=no" and
+ "-with-x" options. Depending upon your site configuration, you may have to
+ use other configure options, as well. Examine the INSTALL file for other
+ configure options.
+
+ Check out the file 'lisp/x-apollo.el'. To use it, add
+
+ (load "x-apollo")
+
+ to your .emacs file. It provides useful default Apollo function key
+ bindings.
+
+AT&T 3b2, 3b5, 3b15, 3b20 (we32k-att-sysv)
+
+ Emacs will probably not work with certain kernel constants too small.
+
+ In param.h CDLIMIT should be at least (1L << 12) in order to allow
+ processes to write up to 2 Mbyte files. This parameter is configurable
+ by normal means in /etc/master.d/kernel; examine that file for the
+ symbol CDLIMIT or ULIMIT, and raise it by several powers of 2. Then
+ do normal kernel rebuild things via "cd /boot; mkboot -k KERNEL" and so
+ forth.
+
+ In seg.h NSEGP and STACKSEG should be at least 16 and 4 respectively
+ to allow processes with total size of up to 2Mbytes.
+ However, I'm told it is unlikely this would fail to be true.
+
+ The MAXMEM may also prevent Emacs from running. The file
+ 3B-MAXMEM in this directory explains how to increase MAXMEM.
+
+ On some of these machines, you may need to define IN_SCCS_ID
+ in config.h to make Emacs work. Supposedly you can tell whether
+ this is necessary by checking something in /usr/include/sys/time.h;
+ we do not know precisely what.
+
+AT&T 7300 or 3b1 (m68k-att-sysv)
+
+ 18.52 worked. If you have strange troubles with dumping
+ Emacs, delete the last few lines from `src/m/7300.h' and recompile.
+ These lines are supposed to produce a sharable executable.
+
+ `src/m/7300.h' defines SHORTNAMES because operating system versions
+ older than 3.5 did not support long symbol names. Version 3.5 does
+ support them, so you can remove the #define SHORTNAMES in that
+ version.
+
+Bull DPX/2 models 2nn or 3nn (m68k-bull-sysv3)
+
+ Minor fixes merged into 19.19, which should work with CC or GCC.
+
+ You should compile with all the POSIX stuff: undef _SYSV and define
+ _POSIX_SOURCE, _XOPEN_SOURCE and _BULL_SOURCE.
+
+ On bos2.00.45 there is a bug that makes the F_SETOWN fcntl
+ call enters in an infinite loop. F_SETOWN_BUG has been defined to avoid
+ calling it.
+
+Bull DPX/20 (rs6000-bull-bosx)
+
+ Version 19 works.
+
+Bull sps7 (m68k-bull-sysv2)
+
+ Changes partially merged in version 19, but some fixes are probably required.
+
+CCI 5/32, 6/32
+
+ See "Tahoe".
+
+Celerity (celerity-celerity-bsd4.2)
+
+ Version 18.49 worked. This configuration name is a hack, because we
+ don't know the processor used by Celerities. If someone
+ who uses a Celerity could get in touch with us, we can teach
+ config.sub a better name for the configuration.
+
+Clipper (clipper-???)
+
+ Version 19 has support for some brand of clipper system. If you
+ have successfully built Emacs 19 on some sort of clipper system, let
+ us know so we can flesh out this entry.
+
+ Note that the Orion 105 is also a clipper, but some system-related
+ parameters are different.
+
+Convex (c1-convex-bsd, c2-convex-bsd, c32-convex-bsd, c34-convex-bsd,
+ c38-convex-bsd)
+
+ Support updated and residual bugs fixed in 19.26.
+
+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.
+
+Cydra 5 (cydra-cydrome-sysv)
+
+ 18.51 worked in one version of their operating system but stopped
+ working in a newer version. This has not been fixed.
+
+Data General Aviion (m88k-dg-dgux)
+
+ 19.23 works; however, the GCC provided with DGUX 5.4R3.00 fails to
+ compile src/emacs.c. GCC 2.5.8 does work.
+ The 19.26 pretest was reported to work; no word on which compiler.
+ System versions other than DGUX 5.4R3.00 have not been tested.
+
+ DGUX 5.4R3.10 works with 19.29 and 19.30.
+
+ DGUX R4.11 contains changes to the stdio internals and it doesn't work
+ with versions before 20.2 without patches. 20.2 works in interactive
+ mode but usually fails in batch mode. The problem is that using
+ stderr in the dumped emacs usually leads to a segmentation fault.
+ Only m88k has been tested.
+
+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'.
+
+Motorola Delta 147 (m68k-motorola-sysv)
+
+ The EMacs 19.26 pretest was reported to work.
+
+ Motorola Delta boxes running System V/68 release 3.
+ Tested on 147 board with SVR3V7, no X and gcc.
+ Tested on 167 board with SVR3V7, no X, cc, gnucc and gcc.
+ Reports say it works with X too.
+
+ The installation script chooses the compiler itself. gnucc is
+ preferred.
+
+Motorola Delta 187 (m88k-motorola-sysv,
+ m88k-motorola-sysvr4, or
+ m88k-motorola-m88kbcs)
+
+ The 19.26 pretest was reported to run on SVR3. However, if you
+ use --with-x-toolkit on svr3, you will have problems compiling some
+ files because time.h and sys/time.h get included twice.
+ One fix is to edit those files to protect against multiple inclusion.
+
+ As of version 19.13, Emacs was reported to run under SYSVr3 and SYSVr4.
+
+Dual running System V (m68k-dual-sysv)
+
+ As of 17.46, this worked except for a few changes
+ needed in unexec.c.
+
+Dual running Uniplus (m68k-dual-uniplus)
+
+ Worked, as of 17.51.
+
+Elxsi 6400 (elxsi-elxsi-sysv)
+
+ Changes for 12.0 release are in 19.1.
+ Dumping should work now.
+
+Encore machine (ns16k-encore-bsd)
+
+ 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
+ must enable two lines at the end of `src/s/umax.h', which are commented
+ out in the file as distributed.
+
+ WARNING: If you compile Emacs with the "-O" compiler switch, you
+ must also use the "-q enter_exits" switch so that all functions have
+ stack frames. Otherwise routines that call `alloca' all lose.
+
+ A kernel bug in some system versions causes input characters to be lost
+ occasionally.
+
+Fujitsu DS/90 (sparc-fujitsu-sysv4)
+
+ Changes merged in 20.3.
+
+GEC 63 (local-gec63-usg5.2)
+
+ Changes are partially merged in version 18, but certainly require
+ more work. Let us know if you get this working, and we'll give it a
+ real configuration name.
+
+Gould Power Node (pn-gould-bsd4.2 or pn-gould-bsd4.3)
+
+ 18.36 worked on versions 1.2 and 2.0 of the operating system.
+
+ On UTX/32 2.0, use pn-gould-bsd4.3.
+
+ On UTX/32 1.2 and UTX/32S 1.0, use pn-gould-bsd4.2 and note that
+ compiling `lib-src/sorted-doc' tickles a compiler bug: remove the -g
+ flag to cc in the makefile.
+
+ UTX/32 1.3 has a bug in the bcopy library routine. Fix it by
+ #undef BSTRING in `src/m/gould.h'.
+
+ Version 19 incorporates support for releases 2.1 and later of UTX/32.
+ A site running a pre-release of 2.1 should #define RELEASE2_1 in config.h.
+
+Gould NP1 (np1-gould-bsd)
+
+ Version 19 supposedly works.
+
+Harris Night Hawk (m68k-harris-cxux or m88k-harris-cxux)
+
+ This port was added in 19.23. The configuration actually tested was
+ a Night Hawk 4800 running CX/UX 7.0.
+
+ If you have GCC ported and want to build with it, you probably need to
+ change things (like compiler switches) defined in the s/cxux.h file.
+
+ If you have X11R6 installed in /usr/lib, configure will fail to find
+ it and may find X11R5 instead. To work around this problem, use
+ --x-libraries=/usr/lib when you run configure.
+
+ With CX/UX 7.0 and later releases, you need to build after setting the
+ SDE_TARGET environment variable to COFF (a port using ELF and shared
+ libraries has not yet been done).
+
+Harris Power PC (powerpc-harris-powerunix)
+
+ Patches have been merged in 19.31.
+
+Honeywell XPS100 (xps100-honeywell-sysv)
+
+ Config file added in version 19.
+
+Hewlett-Packard 9000 series 200 or 300 (m68k-hp-bsd or m68k-hp-hpux
+ or m68k-hp-netbsd)
+
+ These machines are 68000-series CPUs running HP/UX
+ (a derivative of sysV with some BSD features) or BSD 4.3 ported by Utah.
+ The operating system suffix determines which system Emacs is built for.
+
+ Series 200 HPUX runs Emacs only if it has the "HP/UX upgrade".
+
+ Version 19 works under BSD. The 19.26 pretest was reported
+ to work on HPUX 9. 19.31 works on HPUX 10.01, but there are
+ some problems on 10.10 which have not been resolved. Emacs 19.34
+ works on HPUX 10.20 provided you compile with GCC; with the HP C
+ compiler, subprocess commands do not work.
+
+ On HPUX 9, Emacs sometimes crashes with SIGBUS or SIGSEGV after you
+ delete a frame. We think this is due to a bug in the X libraries
+ provided by HP. With the alternative X libraries in
+ /usr/contrib/mitX11R5/lib, the problem does not happen.
+
+ 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.
+
+ Note that HP has used two incompatible assembler syntaxes,
+ and has recently changed the format of C function frames.
+ `src/crt0.c' and `src/alloca.s' have been conditionalised for the new
+ assembler and new function-entry sequence. You may need to define
+ OLD_HP_ASSEMBLER if you are using an older hpux version. If you
+ have an official (bought from HP) series 300 machine you have
+ the new assembler. Kernels that are 5.+ or later have new
+ assembler. A Series 200 that has been upgraded to a 68010
+ processor and a 5.+ kernel has the new compiler.
+
+ Define C_SWITCH_MACHINE to be +X to make a version of Emacs that
+ runs on both 68010 and 68020 based HP/UX's.
+
+ Define HPUX_68010 if you are using the new assembler, for
+ a system that has a 68010 without a 68881. This is to say,
+ a s200 (upgraded) or s310.
+
+ Define the symbol HPUX_NET if you have the optional network features
+ that include the `netunam' system call. This is referred to as
+ Network Services (NS/9000) in HP literature.
+
+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.
+
+HP 9000 series 700 or 800 (Spectrum) (hppa1.0-hp-hpux or hppa1.1-hp-hpux
+ or ...hpux9shr, or ...-nextstep)
+
+ Use hppa1.1 for the 700 series and hppa1.0 for the 800
+ series machines. (Emacs may not actually care which one you use.)
+
+ Support for NextSTEP was added in 19.31.
+
+ 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.
+
+ 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.
+
+High Level Hardware Orion (orion-highlevel-bsd)
+
+ This is the original microprogrammed hardware.
+ Machine description file ought to work.
+
+High Level Hardware Orion 1/05 (clipper-highlevel-bsd)
+
+ Changes merged in 18.52. This is the one with the Clipper cpu.
+ Note that systems which lack NFS need LOAD_AVE_TYPE changed to `double'.
+
+ C compiler has a bug; it loops compiling eval.c.
+ Compile it by hand without optimization.
+
+HITACHI SR2001/SR2201 series (hppa1.1-hitachi-hiuxwe2)
+
+ These machines are based on PA architecture running HI-UX/MPP
+ (based on OSF1. `MPP' stands for `Massively Parallel Processor').
+
+ Emacs 19.34 is believed to work; its pretest was tested
+ both on SR2001 (output of `uname -rv' is `00-01-BB 0') and
+ SR2201 (`02-00 0').
+
+ Emacs 20.7 was reported to build on a system whose `uname -rs'
+ output is `HI-UX/MPP 03-04'.
+
+ The machine description file is `src/m/sr2k.h' is based on
+ `src/m/hp800.h'. The system description file is `src/s/hiuxwe2.h'
+ based on `src/s/osf1.h'. Note that this system doesn't use COFF.
+
+IBM PS/2 (i386-ibm-aix1.1 or i386-ibm-aix1.2)
+
+ Changes merged in version 19. You may need to copy
+ /usr/lib/samples/hft/hftctl.c to the Emacs src directory.
+
+ i386-ibm-aix1.1 may not work with certain new X window managers, and
+ may be suboptimal.
+
+IBM RS/6000 (rs6000-ibm-aix*)
+
+ Emacs 19.26 is believed to work; its pretest was tested.
+
+ Compiling with the system's `cc' and CFLAGS containing `-O5' might
+ fail because libXbsd isn't found. This is a compiler bug;
+ re-configure Emacs so that it isn't compiled with `-O5'.
+
+ At last report, Emacs didn't run well on terminals. Informed
+ persons say that the tty VMIN and VTIME settings have been
+ corrupted; if you have a fix, please send it to us.
+
+ Compiling with -O using the IBM compiler has been known
+ to make Emacs work incorrectly. It's reported that on
+ AIX 3.2.5 with an IBM compiler earlier than 1.03.00.14,
+ cc -O fails for some files. You need to install any
+ PTF containing APAR #IX42810 to bring the compiler to
+ the 1.03.00.14 level to allow optimized compiles.
+
+ There are reports that IBM compiler versions earlier than 1.03.00.02
+ fail even without -O. However, another report said that compiler
+ version 1.02.01.00 did work, on AIX 3.2.4, with Emacs 19.31.
+
+ As of 19.11, if you strip the Emacs executable, it ceases to work.
+
+ If you are using AIX 3.2.3, you may get a core dump when loading
+ ange-ftp. You may be able to fix the problem by defining LIBS_TERMCAP
+ as -ltermcap -lcurses. Please tell us if this fails to work.
+
+ If anyone can fix the above problems, or confirm that they don't happen
+ with certain versions of various programs, we would appreciate it.
+
+IBM RT/PC (romp-ibm-bsd or romp-ibm-aix)

+ Use romp-ibm-bsd for the 4.2-like system and romp-ibm-aix for AIX.
+ 19.22 is reported to work under bsd. We don't know about AIX.
+
+ On BSD, if you have trouble, try compiling with a different compiler.
+
+ On AIX, the file /usr/lib/samples/hft/hftctl.c must be compiled into
+ hftctl.o, with this result left in the src directory (hftctl.c is
+ part of the standard AIX distribution).
+
+ window.c must not be compiled with -O on AIX.
+
+Integrated Solutions `Optimum V' (m68k-isi-bsd4.2 or -bsd4.3)
+
+ 18.52 said to work on some sort of ISI machine.
+ Version 18.45 worked (running on a Optimum V (VME bus, 68020)
+ BSD 4.2 (3.05e) system). 18.42 is reported to work on
+ a Qbus 68010 system. Has not been tried on `WorkStation' `Cluster
+ Compute Node' `Cluster WorkStation' or `Server Node' (Love the
+ StudLYCaps)
+
+ Compilation with -O is rumored to break something.
+
+ On recent system versions, you may need to undefine the macro UMAX
+ in `lib-src/loadst.c' and `src/getpagesize.h'. They stupidly defined this
+ in a system header file, which confuses Emacs (which thinks that UMAX
+ indicates the Umax operating system).

+
+ In the above configurations, * means that the manufacturer's name
+ you specify does not matter, and you can use any name you like
+ (but it should not contain any dashes or stars).
+
+ When using the ISC configurations, be sure to specify the isc
+ version number - for example, if you're running ISC 3.0, use
+ i386-unknown-isc3.0 as your configuration name.
+ Use i386-*-esix for Esix; Emacs runs as of version 19.6.
+ Use i386-*-linux-gnu for GNU/Linux systems; Emacs runs as of version 19.26.
+ Use i386-intsys-sysv for Integrated Solutions 386 machines.
+ It may also be correct for Microport systems.
+ Use i386-*-sco3.2v4 for SCO 3.2v4; Emacs runs as of version 19.26.
+
+ On GNU/Linux systems, Emacs 19.23 was said to work properly with libc
+ version 4.5.21, but not with 4.5.19. If your system uses QMAGIC
+ for the executable format, you must edit config.h to define LINUX_QMAGIC.
+
+ On GNU/Linux, configure may fail to put these definitions in config.h:
+
+ #define HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY
+ #define HAVE_MKDIR
+ #define HAVE_RMDIR
+ #define HAVE_XSCREENNUMBEROFSCREEN
+
+ To work around the problem, add those definitions by hand.
+ It is possible that this problem happens only with X11R6.
+ Newer system versions have fixed it.
+
+ 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

+
+ For System V release 3, use i386-*-sysv3.

+
+ On 386bsd, 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
+ requires including `/usr/src/linux/include/linux' in buffer.c
+ 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
+ with GCC.
+
+ On ISC systems (2.02 and more recent), don't try to use the versions
+ of X that come with the system; use XFree86 instead.
+
+ There is no consistency in the handling of certain system header files
+ on V.3.
+
+ Some versions have sys/sioctl.h, and require it in sysdep.c.
+ But some versions do not have sys/sioctl.h.
+ For a given version of the system, this may depend on whether you have
+ X Windows or TCP/IP. Define or undefine NO_SIOCTL_H in config.h
+ according to whether you have the file.
+
+ 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,
+ try defining NEED_PTEM_H in config.h if you have trouble without it.
+
+ You may find that adding -I/usr/X/include or -I/usr/netinclude or both
+ to CFLAGS avoids compilation errors on certain systems.
+
+ Some versions convince sysdep.c to try to use `struct tchars'
+ but define `struct tc' instead; add `#define tchars tc'
+ to config.h to solve this problem.
+
+Iris 2500 and Iris 2500 Turbo (m68k-sgi-iris3.5 or m68k-sgi-iris3.6)
+
+ Version 18 was said to work; use m68k-sgi-iris3.5 for system version 2.5
+ and m68k-sgi-iris3.6 for system version 3.6.
+ Note that the 3030 is the same as the Iris 2500 Turbo.
+
+Iris 4D (mips-sgi-irix[456].*)
+
+ You can build a 64-bit executable (with larger maximum buffer size)
+ on Irix 6.5 by specifying the 64-bit ABI using the `-64' compiler
+ flag or otherwise (see cc(1)). This may work on earlier Irix 6
+ systems if you edit src/s/irix6-0.h following irix6-5.h.
+
+ If compiling with GCC on Irix 6 yields an error "conflicting types
+ for `initstate'", install GCC 2.95 or a newer version, and this
+ problem should go away. It is possible that this problem results
+ from upgrading the operating system without reinstalling GCC; so you
+ could also try reinstalling the same version of GCC, and telling us
+ whether that fixes the problem.
+
+ The 19.26 pretest was reported to work on IRIX 4.0.5 and 5.2.
+ 19.23 was reported to work on IRIX 5.2, but you may need to install
+ the "compiler_dev.hdr.internal" subsystem in order to compile unexelfsgi.c.
+ 19.22 was known to work on all Silicon Graphics machines running
+ IRIX 4.0.5 or IRIX 5.1.
+
+ Compiling with -O using IRIX compilers prior to 3.10.1 may not work.
+ Don't use -O or use GCC instead.
+
+ Most IRIX 3.3 systems do not have an ANSI C compiler, but a few do.
+ Compile Emacs 18 with the -cckr switch on these machines.
+
+ There is a bug in IRIX 3.3 that can sometimes leave ptys owned by root
+ with a permission of 622. This causes malfunctions in use of
+ subprocesses of Emacs. Irix versions 4.0 and later with GNU Emacs
+ versions 18.59 and later fix this bug.
+
+Masscomp (m68k-masscomp-rtu)
+
+ 18.36 worked on a 5500DP running RTU v3.1a and compiler version 3.2
+ with minor fixes that are included in 18.37. However, bizarre behavior
+ was reported for 18.36 on a Masscomp (model and version unknown but probably
+ a 68020 system). The report sounds like a compiler bug.
+
+ A compiler bug affecting statements like
+ unsigned char k; unsigned char *p;... x = p[k];
+ has been reported for "C version 1.2 under RTU 3.1". We do not wish
+ to take the time to install the numerous workarounds required to
+ compensate for this bug.
+
+ For RTU version 3.1, define FIRST_PTY_LETTER to be 'p' in `src/s/rtu.h'
+ (or #undef and redefine it in config.h) so that ptys will be used.
+
+ GNU Emacs is said to have no chance of compiling on RTU versions
+ prior to v3.0.
+
+Megatest (m68k-megatest-bsd)
+
+ Emacs 15 worked; do not have any reports about Emacs 16 or 17
+ but any new bugs are probably not difficult.
+
+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.
+
+National Semiconductor 32000 (ns32k-ns-genix)
+
+ This is for a complete machine from National Semiconductor,
+ running Genix. Changes merged in version 19.
+
+NCR Tower 32 (m68k-ncr-sysv2 or m68k-ncr-sysv3)
+
+ If you are running System V release 2, use m68k-ncr-sysv2.
+ If you are running System V release 3, use m68k-ncr-sysv3.
+
+ These both worked as of 18.56. If you change `src/ymakefile' so that
+ CFLAGS includes C_OPTIMIZE_SWITCH rather than C_DEBUG_SWITCH, check
+ out the comments in `src/m/tower32.h' (for System V release 2) or
+ `src/m/tower32v3.h' (for System V release 3) about this.
+
+ There is a report that compilation with -O did not work with 18.54
+ under System V release 2.
+
+NCR Intel system (i386-ncr-sysv4.2)
+
+ This system works in 19.31, but if you don't link it with GNU ld,
+ you may need to set LD_RUN_PATH at link time to specify where
+ to find the X libraries.
+
+NEC EWS4800 (mips-nec-sysv4)
+
+ This system works in 20.4, but you should use the compiler
+ /usr/abiccs/bin/cc (MIPS ABI MODE).
+
+NeXT (m68k-next-nextstep)
+
+ Emacs 19 has not been tested extensively yet, but it seems to work
+ in a NeXTStep 3.0 terminal window, and under the X server called
+ co-Xist. You may need to specify -traditional when src/Makefile
+ builds xmakefile.
+
+ NeXT users might want to implement direct operation with NeXTStep,
+ but from the point of view of the GNU project, that is a
+ distraction.
+
+ Thanks to Thorsten Ohl for working on the NeXT port of Emacs 19.
+
+Nixdorf Targon 31 (m68k-nixdorf-sysv)
+
+ Machine description file for version 17 is included in 18
+ but whether it works is not known.
+ `src/unexec.c' bombs if compiled with -O.
+ Note that the "Targon 35" is really a Pyramid.
+
+Nu (TI or LMI) (m68k-nu-sysv)
+
+ Version 18 is believed to work.
+
+Paragon OSF/1 (i860-intel-osf1)
+
+ Changes merged in 19.29.
+
+ There is a bug in OSF/1 make which claims there is a syntax error
+ in the src/xmakefile. You can successfully build emacs with:
+
+ pmake MAKE=pmake
+
+Plexus (m68k-plexus-sysv)
+
+ Worked as of 17.56.
+
+Pmax (DEC Mips) (mips-dec-ultrix or mips-dec-osf1)
+
+ See under DECstation, above.
+
+Prime EXL (i386-prime-sysv)
+
+ Minor changes merged in 19.1.
+
+Pyramid (pyramid-pyramid-bsd)
+
+ The 19.26 pretest was observed to work on OSx 5.0, but it is necessary
+ to edit gmalloc.c. You must add #include <sys/types.h> at the top,
+ and delete the #define for size_t.
+
+ You need to build Emacs in the Berkeley universe with
+ the `ucb' command, as in `ucb make' or `ucb build-install'.
+
+ In OSx 4.0, it seems necessary to add the following two lines
+ to `src/m/pyramid.h':
+ #define _longjmp longjmp
+ #define _setjmp setjmp
+
+ In Pyramid system 2.5 there has been a compiler bug making
+ Emacs crash just after screen-splitting with Qnil containing 0.
+ A compiler that fixes this is Pyramid customer number 8494,
+ internal number 1923.
+
+ Some versions of the pyramid compiler get fatal
+ errors when the -gx compiler switch is used; if this
+ happens to you, change `src/m/pyramid.h' to define
+ C_DEBUG_SWITCH with an empty definition.
+
+ Some old system versions may require you to define PYRAMID_OLD
+ in when alloca.s is preprocessed, in order to define _longjmp and _setjmp.
+
+Sequent Balance (ns32k-sequent-bsd4.2 or ns32k-sequent-bsd4.3)
+
+ Emacs 18.51 worked on system version 3.0. 18.52 is said to work.
+ Delete some lines at the end of `src/m/sequent.h' for earlier system
+ versions.
+
+Sequent Symmetry (i386-sequent-bsd, i386-sequent-ptx, i386-sequent-ptx4)
+
+ 19.33 has changes to support ptx 4 (a modified SVR4).
+
+ Emacs 19 should work on Dynix (BSD). However, if you compile with
+ the Sequent compiler, you may find Emacs does not restore the
+ terminal settings on exit. If this happens, compile with GCC.
+
+ Emacs 19.27 contains patches that should support
+ DYNIX/ptx 1.4 and 2.1 with the native cc compiler.
+
+ GCC can't compile src/process.c due to a non-standard Sequent asm
+ keyword extension supported by cc and used for the network byte/word
+ swapping functions in the PTX /usr/include/netinet/in.h file. GCC
+ 2.5.8 includes the file <sys/byteorder.h> which can be included into
+ netinet/in.h to perform these byte/word swapping functions in the
+ same manner. Patches have been submitted to the FSF against GCC
+ 2.6.0 to fix this problem and allow Emacs to be built with GCC.
+
+ If your machine does not have TCP/IP installed, you will have to edit the
+ src/s/ptx.h file and comment out #define TCPIP_INSTALLED.
+
+Siemens Nixdorf RM600 and RM400 (mips-siemens-sysv4)
+
+ Changes merged in 19.29. This configuration should also work for
+ Pyramid MIS Server running DC-OSX 1.x. The version configured with
+ `--with-x' works without any modifications, but `--with-x-toolkit'
+ works only if the Athena library and the Toolkit library are linked
+ statically. For this, edit `src/Makefile' after the `configure' run
+ and modify the lines with `-lXaw' and `-lXt' as follows:
+
+ LIBW= /usr/lib/libXaw.a
+ LIBXT= $(LIBW) -lXmu /usr/lib/libXt.a $(LIBXTR6) -lXext
+
+ In addition, `--with-x-toolkit=motif' works only
+ if the Motif library and the Toolkit library are linked statically.
+ To do this, edit `src/Makefile' after the `configure' run
+ and modify the lines with `-lXm' and `-lXt' as follows:
+
+ LIBW= /usr/lib/libXm.a /usr/ccs/lib/libgen.a
+ LIBXT= $(LIBW) -lXmu /usr/lib/libXt.a $(LIBXTR6) -lXext
+
+SONY News (m68k-sony-bsd4.2 or m68k-sony-bsd4.3)
+
+ 18.52 worked. Use m68k-sony-bsd4.3 for system release 3.
+
+SONY News 3000 series (RISC NEWS) (mips-sony-bsd)
+
+ The 19.26 pretest is reported to work.
+
+ Some versions of the operating system give SIGTRAP for division by zero
+ instead of the usual signals. This causes division by zero
+ to make Emacs crash. The system should be fixed to give the proper signal.
+ Changing Emacs is not a proper solution, because it would prevent
+ Emacs from working under any debugger. But you can change init_data
+ in data.c if you wish.
+
+Stardent i860 (i860-stardent-sysv4.0)
+
+ 19.26 pretest reported to work.
+
+Stardent 1500 or 3000
+
+ See Titan.
+
+Stride (m68k-stride-sysv)
+
+ Works (most recent news for 18.30) on their release 2.0.
+ For release 2.2, see the end of `src/m/stride.h'.
+ It may be possible to run on their V.1 system but changes
+ in the s- file would be needed.
+
+Sun 3, Sun 4 (sparc), Sun 386 (m68k-sun-sunos, sparc-sun-sunos, i386-sun-sunos,
+ sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3noshr, sparc-sun-solaris2.*,
+ i386-sun-solaris2.*, sparc*-*-linux-gnu)
+
+ To build a 64-bit Emacs (with larger maximum buffer size and
+ including large file support) on a Solaris system which supports
+ 64-bit executables, use the Sun compiler, configuring something like
+ this (see the cc documentation for information on 64-bit
+ compilation): env CC="cc -xarch=v9" ./configure
+
+ As of version 2.95, GCC doesn't support the 64-bit ABI properly, but
+ later releases may.
+
+ On Solaris 2.7, building Emacs with WorkShop Compilers 5.0 98/12/15
+ C 5.0 failed, apparently with non-default CFLAGS, most probably due to
+ compiler bugs. Using Sun Solaris 2.7 Sun WorkShop 6 update 1 C
+ release was reported to work without problems. It worked OK on
+ another system with Solaris 8 using apparently the same 5.0 compiler
+ and the default CFLAGS.
+
+ Emacs 20.5 and later work on SPARC GNU/Linux with the 32-bit ABI.
+ As of release 2.95, GCC doesn't work properly with the 64-bit ABI
+ (applicable on UltraSPARC), but that isn't the default mode.
+
+ Emacs 20.3 fails to build on Solaris 2.5 if you use GCC 2.7.2.3.
+ Installing GCC 2.8 fixes the problem.
+
+ 19.32 works on Solaris 2.4 and 2.5. On Solaris 2.5
+ you may need one of these patches to prevent Emacs from crashing
+ when it starts up:
+ 103093-03: [README] SunOS 5.5: kernel patch (2140557 bytes)
+ 102832-01: [README] OpenWindows 3.5: Xview Jumbo Patch (4181613 bytes)
+ 103242-04: [README] SunOS 5.5: linker patch (595363 bytes)
+
+ There are reports that using SunSoft cc with -xO4 -xdepend produces
+ bad code for some part of Emacs.
+
+ Emacs works ok Sunos 4.1.x
+ provided you completely replace your C shared library
+ using one of the SunOS 4.1.x jumbo replacement patches from Sun.
+ Here are the patch numbers for Sunos 4.1.3:
+ 100890-10 SunOS 4.1.3: domestic libc jumbo patch
+ 100891-10 SunOS 4.1.3: international libc jumbo patch
+
+ Some people report that Emacs crashes immediately on startup when
+ used with a non-X terminal, but we think this is due to compiling
+ with GCC and failing to use GCC's "fixed" system header files.
+
+ Some Sun versions of X windows use the clipboard, not the selections,
+ for transferring text between clients. The Cut, Paste and Copy items
+ in the menu bar Edit menu work with the clipboard.
+
+ It's important to include the SunOS version number in the
+ configuration name. For example, for SunOS release 4.0 on a Sun 3,
+ use `m68k-sun-sunos4.0'; for SunOS release 4.1 on a Sparc, use
+ `sparc-sun-sunos4.1'. For SunOS release 4.1.3 on a Sparc, use
+ `sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3'. Note that shared libraries are now
+ used by default on SunOS 4.1.
+
+ A user reported irreproducible segmentation faults when using 19.29
+ on Solaris 2.3 and 2.4 after compiling it with the Sun compiler.
+ The problem went away when GCC 2.7.0 was used instead. We do not know
+ whether anything in Emacs is partly to blame for this.
+
+ X11R6 is set up to make shared libraries only, on Sunos 4.
+ Therefore, in order to link Emacs, you need to create static X libraries.
+ To do this, rebuild X11 after setting
+ #define ForceNormalLib YES
+ #define SeparateSharedCompile YES
+ in site.def (after #ifdef AfterVendorCF).
+
+ Use `m68k' for the 68000-based Sun boxes, `sparc' for Sparcstations,
+ and `i386' for Sun Roadrunners. i386 calls for Sunos4.0.
+
+ If you compile with Sun's ANSI compiler acc, you need additional options
+ when linking temacs, such as
+ /usr/lang/SC2.0.1/values-Xt.o -L/usr/lang/SC2.0.1/cg87 -L/usr/lang/SC2.0.1
+ (those should be added just before the libraries) and you need to
+ add -lansi just before -lc. The precise file names depend on the
+ compiler version, so we cannot easily arrange to supply them.
+
+ On SunOS 4.1.1, do not use /usr/5bin/cc. You can use gcc or/usr/bin/cc.
+ Make sure the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not defined.
+
+ Some people report crashes on SunOS 4.1.3 if SYSTEM_MALLOC is defined.
+ Others have reported that Emacs works if SYSTEM_MALLOC is defined, and not
+ if it is undefined. So far we do not know why results vary in this way.
+ The sources are set up so that SYSTEM_MALLOC is defined; if that crashes,
+ or if you want the benefit of the relocating memory allocator, you can
+ try enabling the #undef SYSTEM_MALLOC in src/s/sunos4-1-3.h.
+
+ On Solaris 2, you need to install patch 100947-02 to fix a system bug.
+ Presumably this patch comes from Sun. You must alter the definition of
+ LD_SWITCH_SYSTEM if your X11 libraries are not in /usr/openwin/lib.
+ You must make sure that /usr/ucblib is not in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
+
+ On Solaris 2.2, with a multiprocessor SparcCenter 1000, Emacs 19.17 is
+ reported to hang sometimes if it exits while it has one or more
+ subprocesses (e.g. the `wakeup' subprocess used by `display-time').
+ Emacs and its subprocesses become zombies, and in their zombie state
+ slow down their host and disable rlogin and telnet. This is most
+ likely due to a bug in Solaris 2.2's multiprocessor support,
+ rather than an Emacs bug.
+
+ On Solaris, do not use /usr/ucb/cc. Use /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc. Make
+ sure that /usr/ccs/bin and /opt/SUNWspro/bin are in your PATH before
+ /usr/ucb. (Most free software packages have the same requirement on
+ Solaris.)
+
+ If you have trouble using open-network-stream, get the distribution
+ of `bind' (the BSD name-server), build libresolv.a, and link Emacs
+ with -lresolv, by copying the #definition of LIBS_SYSTEM in
+ src/s/sunos4-1.h to src/config.h. This problem is due to obsolete
+ software in the nonshared standard library.
+
+ If you want to use SunWindows, define HAVE_SUN_WINDOWS
+ in config.h to enable a special interface called `emacstool'.
+ The definition must *precede* the #include "machine.h".
+ System version 3.2 is required for this facility to work.
+
+ We recommend that you instead use the X window system, which
+ has technical advantages, is an industry standard, and is also
+ free software. The FSF does not support the SunWindows code;
+ we installed it only on the understanding we would not let it
+ divert our efforts from what we think is important.
+
+ If you are compiling for X windows, and the X window library was
+ compiled to use the 68881, then you must edit config.h according
+ the comments at the end of `src/m/sun3.h'.
+
+ Note that Emacs on a Sun is not really as big as it looks.
+ As dumped, it includes around 200k of zeros between the
+ original text section and the original data section
+ (now remapped as part of the text). These are never
+ swapped in.
+
+ To build a single Emacs that will run on Sun 2 and Sun 3
+ HARDWARE, just build it on the Sun 2.
+
+ On Sunos 4.1.3, the word is that Emacs can loop infinitely
+ on startup with X due perhaps to a bug in Sunos. Installing all of
+ these Sun patches fixes the problem. We don't know which of them
+ are really relevant.

+Tadpole 68K (m68k-tadpole-sysv)
+
+ Changes merged in 19.1.
+
+ You may need to edit Makefile to change the variables LIBDIR and
+ BINDIR from /usr/local to /usr/contrib.
+
+ To give movemail access to /usr/mail, you may need to execute
+
+ chmod 2755 etc/movemail; chgrp mail etc/movemail
+
+Tahoe (tahoe-tahoe-bsd4.2 or tahoe-tahoe-bsd4.3)
+
+ 18.52 was known to work on some Tahoes, but a compiler bug intervenes
+ on others. Some Emacs versions have worked in Unisys 1r4
+ (not in 1r3) and CCI I.21.
+
+ If you have trouble compiling `lib-src/loadst.c', turn off the definition
+ of DKSTAT_HEADER_FILE in `src/m/tahoe.h'.
+
+Tandem Integrity S2 (mips-tandem-sysv)
+
+ Changes merged in 18.56 but subprocess support is turned off.
+ You will probably want to see if you can make subprocesses work.
+
+ You must edit `lib-src/Makefile' to define LOADLIBES = -mld.
+
+Tektronix XD88 (m88k-tektronix-sysv3*)
+
+ The 19.26 pretest was reported to work.
+ Minor changes merged in 19.19.
+
+Tektronix 16000 box (6130?) (ns16k-tektronix-bsd)
+
+ Emacs 17.61 worked.
+
+Tektronix 4300 (m68k-tektronix-bsd)
+
+ Emacs 19.26 pretest reported to work.
+
+Titan P2 or P3 (titan-titan-sysv)
+
+ Changes probably merged in version 19.
+
+Ustation E30 (SS5E) (m68k-unisys-unipl)
+
+ Changes merged in 18.52; don't know whether they work.
+
+Vaxen running Berkeley Unix (vax-dec-bsd4.1, vax-dec-bsd4.2, vax-dec-bsd4.3),
+ Ultrix (vax-dec-ultrix),
+ System V (vax-dec-sysv0, vax-dec-sysv2), or
+ VMS (vax-dec-vms)
+
+ Works.
+
+ See under Ultrix for problems using X windows on Ultrix (vax-dec-ultrix).
+
+ 18.27 worked on System V rel 2 (vax-dec-sysv2).
+
+ 18.36 worked on System V rel 0 (vax-dec-sysv0).
+
+ 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.
+
+Whitechapel MG1 (ns16k-whitechapel-?)
+
+ May work. Supposedly no changes were needed except in `src/m/mg1.h'
+ file. I do not know what Unix version runs on them.
+
+Wicat (m68k-wicat-sysv)
+
+ Changes merged as of 18.6; whether they work is unknown.
+ See comments in `src/m/wicat.h' for things you should change
+ depending on the system and compiler version you have.
+\f
+Here are notes about some of the systems supported:
+
+Berkeley 4.1 (bsd4.1)
+
+ Works on vaxes.
+
+Berkeley 4.2 (bsd4.2)
+
+ Works on several machines.
+
+Berkeley 4.3 (bsd4.3)
+
+ Works, on Vaxes at least.
+
+Esix
+
+ The following was written for Emacs 18.59 and has been
+ slightly adapted for Emacs 19. It may need more change to be correct.
+
+ Use s/usg5-4.h for Esix System V 4.0.[34] systems if you also have
+ XFree86. If you insist on using the Esix X Window libraries, good
+ luck. s/esix5r4.h provides a starting point, but doesn't seem to
+ work consistently. The basic problems involve the need to load
+ -lX11 *last* in the link command, and even then some things break.
+ You get best results by installing XFree86 and forgetting about the
+ Esix stuff unless you want to run IXI xdt3, which really only needs
+ the Esix X11 shared libraries.
+
+ To compile with XFree86, make sure that your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+ contains /usr/X386/lib. Be careful if you also have the Esix X
+ Window libraries that /usr/X386/lib appears *first* in the
+ LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Then define C_SWITCH_X_SYSTEM -I/usr/X386/include.
+
+Linux (actually GNU/Linux)
+
+ Most of the complete systems which use the Linux kernel are close
+ enough to the GNU system to be considered variant GNU systems. We
+ call them "Linux-based GNU systems," or GNU/Linux for short.
+
+ It is not coincidence that many of the other components used with
+ Linux--including GNU Emacs--were developed specifically for the GNU
+ project. The GNU project was launched in 1984 to develop a free
+ complete Unix-like operating system. To reach this goal, we had to
+ develop whatever system components were not available as freely
+ redistributable software from some other source.
+
+ The GNU project wants users of GNU/Linux systems to be aware of how
+ these systems relate to the GNU project, because that will help
+ spread the GNU idea that software should be free--and thus encourage
+ people to write more free software. See the file LINUX-GNU in this
+ directory for more explanation.
+
+Microport
+
+ See under "Intel 386".
+
+MSDOS
+
+ For installation on MSDOS, see the file INSTALL (search for `MSDOG',
+ near the end of the file). See the "MS-DOS" chapter of the manual
+ for information about using Emacs on MSDOS.
+
+SCO Unix
+ If you have TCP but not X, you need to edit src/s/sco4.h
+ to define HAVE_SOCKETS.
+
+ If you are using MMDF instead of sendmail, you need to remove
+ /usr/lib/sendmail or modify lisp/paths.el before compiling.
+ lisp/paths.el (which is loaded during the build) will attempt to use
+ sendmail if it exists.
+
+ If you are using SMAIL, you need to define the macro
+ SMAIL in config.h.
+
+System V rel 0 (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 (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 `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 (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
+ is used to enable the other interface.
+
+ They call themselves the right choice--can't they choose?
+
+ Emacs version 18 unexec is currently not working properly
+ on 5.2.2. Nobody knows why yet. A workaround is to define
+ NO_REMAP. It is not yet known whether this applies to all
+ machines running 5.2.2.
+
+System V rel 3 (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.
+
+ You may have to add ANSI idempotence #-lines to your sys/types.h
+ file to get Emacs to compile correctly. This may be necessary on
+ other pre-ANSI systems as well.
+
+ On an AT&T 6386WGS using System V Release 3.2 and X11R3, the X support
+ cannot be made to work. Whether or not the GNU relocating malloc is
+ used, the symptom is that the first call Emacs makes to sbrk(0) returns
+ (char *)-1. Sorry, you're stuck with character-only mode. Try
+ installing Xfree86 to fix this.
+
+System V rel 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 (usg5.4)
+
+ 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.)
+
+Ultrix (bsd4.3)
+
+ Recent versions of Ultrix appear to support the features of Berkeley 4.3.
+ Ultrix was at the BSD 4.2 level for a long time after BSD 4.3 came out.
+
+ Ultrix 3.0 has incompatibilities in its X library if you have the
+ Ultrix version of X (UWS version 2.0). To solve them, you need to
+ prevent XvmsAlloc.o in Xlib from being used. Israel Pinkas says:
+
+ I added the following lines to config.h after the X defines:
+
+ #if defined(ultrix) && defined(X11)
+ #define OBJECTS_SYSTEM calloc.o
+ #endif
+
+ Then I ran the following:
+
+ ar x /usr/lib/libc.a calloc.o
+
+ The problem is said to be gone in UWS version 2.1.
+
+Uniplus 5.2 (unipl5.2)
+
+ Works, on Dual machines at least.
+
+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.
+
+Windows NT/95/98/ME/2000
+
+ For installation on all versions of the MS-Windows platform, see the
+ file nt/INSTALL.
+
+Xenix (xenix)
+
+ Should work in 18.50, but you will need to edit the files
+ `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
+ to make the Emacs meta key work.
