Annotation of GNUtools/emacs/etc/MACHINES, revision 1.1

1.1     ! root        1: This is a list of the status of GNU Emacs on various machines and systems.
        !             2: Last updated 18 Oct 1992.
        !             3: 
        !             4: Systems:
        !             5:   For each type of system, the name of the appropriate s- header file
        !             6:   is given.
        !             7: 
        !             8: Berkeley 4.1 (s-bsd4-1.h)
        !             9: 
        !            10:   Works on vaxes.
        !            11: 
        !            12: Berkeley 4.2 (s-bsd4-2.h)
        !            13: 
        !            14:   Works on several machines.
        !            15: 
        !            16: Berkeley 4.3 (s-bsd4-3.h)
        !            17: 
        !            18:   Works, on Vaxes at least.
        !            19: 
        !            20: Microport
        !            21: 
        !            22:   See under "Intel 386".
        !            23: 
        !            24: Solaris (s-sol2.h)
        !            25: 
        !            26:   Changes merged, and may work.
        !            27: 
        !            28: System V rel 0 (s-usg5-0.h)
        !            29: 
        !            30:   Works, on Vaxes and 3bxxx's.
        !            31:   There are some problems in 18.37 due to shortnames/cccp problems:
        !            32:   use the emacs 17 cpp if you have it.
        !            33: 
        !            34: System V rel 2 (s-usg5-2.h)
        !            35: 
        !            36:   Works on various machines.
        !            37:   On some (maybe all) machines the library -lPW exists and contains
        !            38:   a version of `alloca'.  On these machines, to use it, put
        !            39:      #define HAVE_ALLOCA
        !            40:      #define LIB_STANDARD -lPW -lc
        !            41:   in the m-...h file for the machine.
        !            42: 
        !            43:   If you find that the character Meta-DEL makes Emacs crash,
        !            44:   find where function init_sys_modes in sysdep.c sets sg.c_cc[VQUIT]
        !            45:   and make it store 7 there.  I have as yet no evidence of whether
        !            46:   this problem, known in HP-UX, exists in other system V versions.
        !            47: 
        !            48:   If you are compiling to work with X11 release 4, you may need
        !            49:   to define HAVE_RANDOM in config.h.
        !            50: 
        !            51: System V rel 2.2 (s-usg5-2-2.h)
        !            52: 
        !            53:   In 5.2.2 AT&T undid, incompatibly, their previous incompatible
        !            54:   change to the way the nlist library is called.  A different s- file
        !            55:   is used to enable the other interface.
        !            56: 
        !            57:   They call themselves the right choice--can't they choose?
        !            58: 
        !            59:   Emacs version 18 unexec is currently not working properly
        !            60:   on 5.2.2.  Nobody knows why yet.  A workaround is to define
        !            61:   NO_REMAP.  It is not yet known whether this applies to all
        !            62:   machines running 5.2.2.
        !            63: 
        !            64:   If you are compiling to work with X11 release 4, you may need
        !            65:   to define HAVE_RANDOM in config.h.
        !            66: 
        !            67: System V rel 3 (s-usg5-3.h)
        !            68: 
        !            69:   Some versions of this system support ptys and BSD-style sockets.
        !            70:   On such systems, you should define HAVE_PTYS and HAVE_SOCKETS in config.h.
        !            71: 
        !            72:   If you are compiling to work with X11 release 4, you may need
        !            73:   to define HAVE_RANDOM in config.h.
        !            74: 
        !            75:   If you want to link Emacs with shared libraries, define
        !            76:   USG_SHARED_LIBRARIES.
        !            77: 
        !            78: System V rel 4 (s-usg5-4.h)
        !            79: 
        !            80:   Supported, including shared libraries for ELF.  pty's work now.
        !            81: 
        !            82:   The standard C preprocessor generates xmakefile incorrectly.  However,
        !            83:   /lib/cpp will work, so use `make CPP=/lib/cpp' in the `src' subdirectory.
        !            84: 
        !            85:   Versions 3 and earlier of V.4, on the Intel 386 and 860, had
        !            86:   problems in the X11 libraries.  These prevent Emacs from working
        !            87:   with X.  You can use Emacs with X provided your copy of X is based
        !            88:   on X11 release 4 or newer.  Unfortunately, the only way you can tell
        !            89:   for certain whether your X11 library is new enough is to try
        !            90:   compiling Emacs to use X.  If xemacs runs, your X11 library is new
        !            91:   enough.
        !            92: 
        !            93:   In this context, GSV4 and GSV4i are alternate names for X11R4.
        !            94:   OL2.* is X11R3 based.  OL3 is in between X11R3 and X11R4, and may or
        !            95:   may not work, depending on who made the Unix system.  If the library
        !            96:   libXol is part of the X distribution, then you have X11R3 and Emacs
        !            97:   won't work with X.
        !            98: 
        !            99:   Most versions of V.4 support sockets.  If `/usr/lib/libsocket.so'
        !           100:   exists, your system supports them.  If yours does not, you must add
        !           101:   #undef HAVE_SOCKETS in config.h, aftern the inclusion of s-usg5-4.h.
        !           102:   (Any system that supports Internet should implement sockets.)
        !           103: 
        !           104: Ultrix (s-bsd4-3.h)
        !           105: 
        !           106:   Recent versions of Ultrix appear to support the features of Berkeley 4.3.
        !           107:   Ultrix was at the BSD 4.2 level for a long time after BSD 4.3 came out.
        !           108: 
        !           109:   Ultrix 3.0 has incompatibilities in its X library if you have the
        !           110:   Ultrix version of X (UWS version 2.0).  To solve them, you need to
        !           111:   prevent XvmsAlloc.o in Xlib from being used.  Israel Pinkas says:
        !           112: 
        !           113:     I added the following lines to config.h after the X defines:
        !           114: 
        !           115:     #if defined(ultrix) && defined(X11)
        !           116:     #define OBJECTS_SYSTEM calloc.o
        !           117:     #endif
        !           118: 
        !           119:     Then I ran the following:
        !           120: 
        !           121:     ar x /usr/lib/libc.a calloc.o
        !           122: 
        !           123:   The problem is said to be gone in UWS version 2.1.
        !           124: 
        !           125:   Ultrix 4.1 has moved the file X11/X10.h into mit/X11/X10.h.
        !           126: 
        !           127: Uniplus 5.2 (s-unipl5-2.h)
        !           128: 
        !           129:   Works, on Dual machines at least.
        !           130: 
        !           131: VMS (s-vms4-0.h, s-vms4-2.h, s-vms4-4.h, s-vms5-5.h)
        !           132: 
        !           133:   Works except for certain features (directory listing, dired,
        !           134:   sending and receiving mail) that use synchronous subprocesses.
        !           135:   (These will work in Emacs 19.)
        !           136:   s-vms5-5.h may be right for some earlier versions; please let us know
        !           137:   what happens when you try it in VMS versions 5.0 thru 5.4.
        !           138: 
        !           139:   Note that Emacs for VMS is usually distributed in a special
        !           140:   VMS distribution.  See the file ../VMSINSTALL for info on moving
        !           141:   Unix distributions to VMS, and other VMS-related topics.
        !           142: 
        !           143: Xenix
        !           144: 
        !           145:   Should work in 18.50, but you will need to edit the files
        !           146:   etc/Makefile and src/ymakefile
        !           147:   (see the comments that mention "Xenix" for what to change.)
        !           148:   Compiling Emacs with -O is said not to work.
        !           149: 
        !           150:   If you want Emacs to work with Smail (installed as /usr/bin/smail)
        !           151:   then add the line   #define SMAIL  to config.h.
        !           152: 
        !           153:   The file etc/XENIX suggests some useful things to do to Xenix
        !           154:   to make the Emacs meta key work.
        !           155: 
        !           156: Machines:
        !           157:   For each type of machine, the names of the m- and s- header files
        !           158:   are given.
        !           159: 
        !           160: Alliant FX/80 (m-alliant4.h or m-alliant.h or m-alliant1.h;
        !           161:               s-bsd4-2.h or s-bsd4-3.h)
        !           162: 
        !           163:   There are reports of bugs in the Alliant compiler
        !           164:   that prevent compiling Emacs 18.57.
        !           165:   No word on how to get around them.  Perhaps using GCC will work.
        !           166:   A work-around is installed in src/dispnew.c in 18.58 for a compiler bug.
        !           167: 
        !           168:   18.52 worked on system version 4.  Previous Emacs versions were
        !           169:   known to work on previous system versions.
        !           170: 
        !           171:   Use m-alliant1.h on version 1 of their operating system
        !           172:   and use m-alliant.h on version 2 or 3.
        !           173:   Use m-alliant4.h on version 4 and above.
        !           174: 
        !           175:   Use s-bsd4-3.h with system version 5 and above.
        !           176: 
        !           177: Alliant FX/2800 (m-all2800.h; s-bsd4-3.h)
        !           178: 
        !           179:   Known to work with 18.58 and OS version 2.2, compiler version 1.3.
        !           180: 
        !           181: Altos 3068 (m-altos.h; s-usg5-2.h)
        !           182: 
        !           183:   18.52 is said to work, provided you don't compile unexec.c with -O.
        !           184: 
        !           185: Amdahl UTS (m-amdahl.h; s-usg5-3.h)
        !           186: 
        !           187:   Support for a newer system version, and X Windows, merged in 18.58.
        !           188:   (Some people report that s-usg5-2.h worked better than s-usg5-3.h
        !           189:   for 18.57.)
        !           190: 
        !           191:   The 5.2u370 compiler is so brain damaged that it is not
        !           192:   even worth trying to use it.  Success was obtained with the
        !           193:   uts native C compiler on uts version 5.2.5.
        !           194: 
        !           195: Apollo running Domain (m-apollo.h; s-bsd4-2.h)
        !           196: 
        !           197:   18.52 works, to some extent.
        !           198:   Code for dumping Emacs has been written, but we cannot
        !           199:   distribute it yet.
        !           200:   There are reports of bugs in cc -O on this system.
        !           201: 
        !           202:   In etc/Makefile, don't expect emacsclient and server to
        !           203:   compile.  You might want to remove them from your makefile.
        !           204: 
        !           205:   Supposedly something in dired.c runs into a compiler bug.
        !           206:   Paraphrasing the statement should avoid the problem.
        !           207:   I havenot yet received word as to the exact statement this is.
        !           208: 
        !           209: AT&T 3b2, 3b5, 3b15, 3b20 (m-att3b.h; s-usg5-2-2.h)
        !           210: 
        !           211:   Emacs will probably not work with certain kernel constants too small. 
        !           212: 
        !           213:   In param.h CDLIMIT should be at least (1L << 12) in order to allow 
        !           214:   processes to write up to 2 Mbyte files.  If it's too small,
        !           215:   you can perhaps fix it using the file `ulimit.hack' in this directory.
        !           216: 
        !           217:   Note that for V.3.1 and later releases, this parameter is configurable
        !           218:   by normal means in /etc/master.d/kernel; examine that file for the

        !           511:   But some versions do not have sys/sioctl.h.
        !           512:   For a given version of the system, this may depend on whether you have
        !           513:   X Windows or TCP/IP.  Define or undefine NO_SIOCTL_H in config.h
        !           514:   according to whether you have the file.
        !           515: 
        !           516:   Likewise, some versions have been known to need sys/ttold.h, sys/stream.h,
        !           517:   and sys/ptem.h included in sysdep.c.  If your system has these files,
        !           518:   try defining NEED_PTEM_H in config.h if you have trouble without it.
        !           519: 
        !           520:   You may find that adding -I/usr/X/include or -I/usr/netinclude or both
        !           521:   to CFLAGS avoids compilation errors on certain systems.
        !           522: 
        !           523:   Some versions convince sysdep.c to try to use `struct tchars'
        !           524:   but define `struct tc' instead; add `#define tchars tc'
        !           525:   to config.h to solve this problem.
        !           526:   Some systems have problems that can be solved by inserting
        !           527:     #undef TIOCGETC
        !           528:   in sysdep.c, near the place where this is done for XENIX.

        !           541:   If you are using the ANSI C compiler, you may need to add

        !           544: 
        !           545:   There is a bug in IRIX that can sometimes leave ptys owned by
        !           546:   root with a permission of 622.  This causes malfunctions in use
        !           547:   of subprocesses of Emacs.  This may be fixed in IRIX 4.0.5.

        !           595:   If you are compiling with GCC, then you must run fixincludes;
        !           596:   the alternative of using -traditional won't work because
        !           597:   the definition of SIGN_EXTEND_CHAR uses the keyword `signed'.
