1 This is a list of the status of GNU Emacs on various machines and systems.
2 Last updated 10 Feb 1992.
4 For each system and machine, we give the `-opsystem' and `-machine'
5 options you should pass to config.emacs to prepare to build Emacs for
8 These options tell Emacs which machine- and system-descriptive files
9 to include. For each `-machine=MACHNAME' option, there exists a file
10 `src/m/MACHNAME.h', and for each `-opsystem=OSNAME' option, there
11 exists a file `src/s/OSNAME.h'.
15 Berkeley 4.1 (-opsystem=bsd4-1)
19 Berkeley 4.2 (-opsystem=bsd4-2)
21 Works on several machines.
23 Berkeley 4.3 (-opsystem=bsd4-3)
25 Works, on Vaxes at least.
29 See under "Intel 386".
31 System V rel 0 (-opsystem=usg5-0)
33 Works, on Vaxes and 3bxxx's.
34 There are some problems in 18.37 due to shortnames/cccp problems:
35 use the emacs 17 cpp if you have it.
37 System V rel 2 (-opsystem=usg5-2)
39 Works on various machines.
40 On some (maybe all) machines the library -lPW exists and contains
41 a version of `alloca'. On these machines, to use it, put
43 #define LIB_STANDARD -lPW -lc
44 in the src/m/MACHINENAME.h file for the machine.
46 If you find that the character Meta-DEL makes Emacs crash,
47 find where function init_sys_modes in sysdep.c sets sg.c_cc[VQUIT]
48 and make it store 7 there. I have as yet no evidence of whether
49 this problem, known in HP-UX, exists in other system V versions.
51 System V rel 2.2 (-opsystem=usg5-2-2)
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.
57 They call themselves the right choice--can't they choose?
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.
64 System V rel 3 (-opsystem=usg5-3)
66 Some versions of this system support ptys and BSD-style sockets.
67 On such systems, you should define HAVE_PTYS and HAVE_SOCKETS in config.h.
69 If you want to link Emacs with shared libraries, define
72 System V rel 4 (-opsystem=usg5-4)
74 Supported, including shared libraries for ELF, but ptys do not
75 work because TIOCGPGRP fails to work on ptys.
76 This failure is probably due to a misunderstanding of the
77 consequences of the POSIX spec: many system designers mistakenly
78 think that POSIX requires this feature to fail. This is untrue;
79 ptys are an extension, and POSIX says that extensions *when used*
80 may change the action of standard facilities in any fashion.
82 The standard C preprocessor generate xmakefile incorrectly. However,
83 /lib/cpp will work, so use `make CPP=/lib/cpp'.
85 Ultrix (-opsystem=bsd4-2)
87 DEC's Ultrix OS is essentially Berkeley 4.2. It does not correctly
88 implement certain features of 4.3.
90 Ultrix 3.0 has incompatibilities in its X library if you have the
91 Ultrix version of X (UWS version 2.0). To solve them, you need to
92 prevent XvmsAlloc.o in Xlib from being used. Israel Pinkas says:
94 I added the following lines to config.h after the X defines:
96 #if defined(ultrix) && defined(X11)
97 #define OBJECTS_SYSTEM calloc.o
100 Then I ran the following:
102 ar x /usr/lib/libc.a calloc.o
104 The problem is said to be gone in UWS version 2.1.
106 Uniplus 5.2 (-opsystem=unipl5-2)
108 Works, on Dual machines at least.
112 Works except for certain features (directory listing, dired,
113 sending and receiving mail) that use synchronous subprocesses.
114 We need people to write alternative implementations of these
117 Note that Emacs for VMS is usually distributed in a special
118 VMS distribution. See the file ../VMSINSTALL for info on moving
119 Unix distributions to VMS, and other VMS-related topics.
123 Should work in 18.50, but you will need to edit the files
124 lib-src/Makefile and src/ymakefile
125 (see the comments that mention "Xenix" for what to change.)
126 Compiling Emacs with -O is said not to work.
128 If you want Emacs to work with Smail (installed as /usr/bin/smail)
129 then add the line #define SMAIL to config.h.
131 The file share-lib/XENIX suggests some useful things to do to Xenix
132 to make the Emacs meta key work.
136 Alliant (-machine=alliant4, -machine=alliant or -machine=alliant1;
139 18.52 works on system version 4. Previous Emacs versions were
140 known to work on previous system versions.
142 Use -machine=alliant1 on version 1 of their operating system
143 and use -machine=alliant on version 2 or 3.
144 Use -machine=alliant4 on version 4.
146 Alliant FX/2800 (-machine=alliant-2800; -opsystem=bsd4-3)
148 Known to work with 18.58 and OS version 2.2, compiler version 1.3.
150 Altos 3068 (-machine=altos; -opsystem=usg5-2)
152 18.52 is said to work, provided you don't compile unexec.c with -O.
154 Amdahl UTS (-machine=amdahl; -opsystem=usg5-2-2)
156 Small changes for 18.38 were merged in 18.39. It is mostly
157 working, but at last report a bug sometimes causes Emacs to
158 grab very large amounts of memory. No fix or explanation
159 has yet been reported. It may be possible to find this bug
160 if you find which Emacs command it happens within and then
161 run that command with a breakpoint set at malloc.
163 The 5.2u370 compiler is so brain damaged that it is not
164 even worth trying to use it. Success was obtained with the
165 uts native C compiler on uts version 5.2.5.
167 Apollo running Domain (-machine=apollo; -opsystem=bsd4-2)
169 18.52 works, to some extent.
170 Code for dumping Emacs has been written, but we cannot
172 There are reports of bugs in cc -O on this system.
174 In lib-src/Makefile, don't expect emacsclient and emacsserver to
175 compile. You might want to remove them from your makefile.
177 Supposedly something in dired.c runs into a compiler bug.
178 Paraphrasing the statement should avoid the problem. I have not yet
179 received word as to the exact statement this is.
181 AT&T 3b2, 3b5, 3b15, 3b20 (-machine=att3b; -opsystem=usg5-2-2)
183 Emacs will probably not work with certain kernel constants too small.
185 In param.h CDLIMIT should be at least (1L << 12) in order to allow
186 processes to write up to 2 Mbyte files. If it's too small,
187 you can perhaps fix it using the file `ulimit.hack' in this directory.
189 Note that for V.3.1 and later releases, this parameter is configurable
190 by normal means in /etc/master.d/kernel; examine that file for the
191 symbol CDLIMIT or ULIMIT, and raise it by several powers of 2. Then
192 do normal kernel rebuild things via "cd /boot; mkboot -k KERNEL" and so
193 forth. Do not use ulimit.hack if you have V.3.1 or later.
195 In seg.h NSEGP and STACKSEG should be at least 16 and 4 respectively
196 to allow processes with total size of up to 2Mbytes.
197 However, I'm told it is unlikely this would fail to be true.
199 The MAXMEM may also prevent Emacs from running. The file
200 3B-MAXMEM in this directory explains how to increase MAXMEM.
202 AT&T 7300 or 3b1 (-machine=7300; -opsystem=usg5-2-2)
204 18.52 seems to work. If you have strange troubles with dumping
205 Emacs, delete the last few lines from -machine=7300 and recompile.
206 These lines are supposed to produce a sharable executable.
208 -machine=7300 defines SHORTNAMES because operating system versions
209 older than 3.5 did not support long symbol names. Version 3.5 does
210 support them, so you can remove the #define SHORTNAMES in that
213 Bull sps7 (-machine=sps7; -opsystem=usg5-2)
215 Changes partially merged in version 19, but some fixes are probably required.
221 Celerity (-machine=celerity; -opsystem=bsd4-2)
225 Clipper (-machine=clipper; ???)
227 Version 19 has support for some brand of clipper system.
228 Note that the Orion 105 is also a clipper, but some system-related
229 parameters are different.
231 Convex (-machine=convex; -opsystem=bsd4-3)
233 18.53 is supposed to work.
235 Cubix QBx/386 (-machine=intel386; -opsystem=usg5-3)
237 Changes merged in 19.1. Systems before 2/A/0 may fail to compile etags.c
238 due to a compiler bug.
240 Cydra 5 (-machine=cydra5; -opsystem=usg5-3)
242 18.51 worked in one version of their operating system but stopped
243 working in a newer version. This has not been fixed.
245 DECstation (-machine=pmax; -opsystem=bsd4-2)
247 Works, as of 18.55. See under Ultrix for problems using X windows
248 on Ultrix. Note that this is a MIPS machine.
249 For Ultrix versions prior to 4.0, you may need to delete
250 the definition of START_FILES from src/m/pmax.h.
252 Motorola Delta 147 (-machine=delta; -opsystem=usg5-3)
254 Motorola Delta boxes running System V/68 release 3.
255 (tested on sys1147 with SVR3V5). Changes merged in 19.1.
257 Motorola Delta 187 (-machine=delta88k; -opsystem=usg5-3)
259 Machine support added in version 19.
260 HAVE_X_MENU does not work due to lack of insque.
262 Dual running System V (-machine=dual; -opsystem=usg5-2)
264 As of 17.46, this works except for a few changes
267 Dual running Uniplus (-machine=dual; -opsystem=unipl5-2)
271 Elxsi 6400 (-machine=elxsi; -opsystem=usg5-2)
273 Changes for 12.0 release are in 19.1.
274 Dumping should work now.
276 Encore machine (-machine=ns16000; -opsystem=umax)
278 This machine bizarrely uses 4.2BSD modified to use the COFF format
279 for object files. Works (as of 18.40). For the APC processor you
280 must enable two lines at the end of src/s/umax.h, which are commented
281 out in the file as distributed.
283 WARNING: If you compile Emacs with the "-O" compiler switch, you
284 must also use the "-q enter_exits" switch so that all functions have
285 stack frames. Otherwise routines that call `alloca' all lose.
287 A kernel bug in some system versions causes input characters to be lost
290 GEC 93 (-machine=gec93; -opsystem=usg5-2?)
292 Changes are partially merged in version 18, but
293 certainly require more work.
295 Gould Power Node (-machine=gould; -opsystem=bsd4-2 or -opsystem=bsd4-3)
297 18.36 worked on versions 1.2 and 2.0 of the operating system.
299 On UTX/32 2.0, use -opsystem=bsd4-3.
301 On UTX/32 1.2 and UTX/32S 1.0, use -opsystem=bsd4-2 and note that
302 compiling lib-src/sorted-doc tickles a compiler bug: remove the -g
303 flag to cc in the makefile.
305 UTX/32 1.3 has a bug in the bcopy library routine. Fix it by
306 #undef BSTRING in -machine=gould.
308 Version 19 incorporates support for releases 2.1 and later of UTX/32.
309 A site running a pre-release of 2.1 should #define RELEASE2_1 in config.h.
311 Gould NP1 (-machine=gould-np1; -opsystem=bsd4-3)
313 Version 19 supposedly works.
315 Honeywell XPS100 (-machine=xps100; -opsystem=usg5-2)
317 Config file added in version 19.
319 HP 9000 series 200 or 300 (-machine=hp9000s300;
320 -opsystem=hpux or -opsystem=bsd4-3)
323 These machines are 68000-series CPUs running HP-UX
324 (a derivative of sysV with some BSD features) or BSD 4.3 ported by Utah.
325 The choice of s- file determines which system Emacs is built for.
327 Series 200 HPUX runs Emacs only if it has the "HP-UX upgrade".
329 If you are running HP-UX release 8.0 or later, you need the optional
330 "C/ANSI C" software in order to build Emacs (older releases of HP-UX
331 do not require any special software). If the file "/etc/filesets/C"
332 exists on your machine, you have this software, otherwise you do not.
334 Note that HP has used two incompatible assembler syntaxes,
335 and has recently changed the format of C function frames.
336 src/crt0.c and src/alloca.s have been conditionalised for the new
337 assembler and new function-entry sequence. You may need to define
338 OLD_HP_ASSEMBLER if you are using an older hpux version. If you
339 have an official (bought from HP) series 300 machine you have
340 the new assembler. Kernels that are 5.+ or later have new
341 assembler. A Series 200 that has been upgraded to a 68010
342 processor and a 5.+ kernel has the new compiler.
344 Define C_SWITCH_MACHINE to be +X to make a version of Emacs that
345 runs on both 68010 and 68020 based hp-ux's.
347 Define HPUX_68010 if you are using the new assembler, for
348 a system that has a 68010 without a 68881. This is to say,
349 a s200 (upgraded) or s310.
351 Define the symbol HPUX_NET if you have the optional network features
352 that include the `netunam' system call. This is refered to as
353 Network Services (NS/9000) in HP literature.
355 HP 9000 series 300 running BSD 4.3 (-machine=hp300bsd; -opsystem=bsd4-3)
359 HP 9000 series 500: not supported.
361 The series 500 has a seriously incompatible memory architecture
362 which relocates data in memory during execution of a program,
363 and support for it would be difficult to implement.
365 HP 9000 series 800 (Spectrum) (-machine=hp9000s800; -opsystem=hpux)
367 These files support HP's Precision Architecture machines
368 running HP-UX. It has been moderately tested on the Series
371 If you are running HP-UX release 8.0 or later, you need the optional
372 "C/ANSI C" software in order to build Emacs (older releases of HP-UX
373 do not require any special software). If the file "/etc/filesets/C"
374 exists on your machine, you have this software, otherwise you do not.
376 High Level Hardware Orion (-machine=orion; -opsystem=bsd4-2)
378 This is the original microprogrammed hardware.
379 Machine description file ought to work.
381 High Level Hardware Orion 1/05 (-machine=orion105; -opsystem=bsd4-2)
383 Changes merged in 18.52. This is the one with the Clipper cpu.
384 Note that systems which lack NFS need LOAD_AVE_TYPE changed to `double'.
386 C compiler has a bug; it loops compiling eval.c.
387 Compile it by hand without optimization.
389 IBM PS/2 (-machine=ibmps2-aix; -opsystem=usg5-2-2 or -opsystem=usg5-3)
391 Changes merged in version 19. You may need to copy
392 /usr/lib/samples/hft/hftctl.c to the Emacs src directory.
394 Use -opsystem=usg5-3 on AIX 1.2.
395 -opsystem=usg5-2-2 should work on either AIX 1.1 or 1.2, but may not
396 work with certain new X window managers, and may be suboptimal.
398 IBM RS/6000 (-machine=ibmrs6000; -opsystem=aix3-1)
400 Changes merged in version 19.
402 Dumping does not work. Code has been written to implement it, but
403 it fails because the address of bss seems to vary occasionally
404 between Emacs runs. It does not seem to vary from minute to minute,
405 but every few days or weeks it changes to a new steady state.
406 When this happens, the dumped Emacs data file becomes invalid.
408 IBM RT/PC (-machine=ibmrt or -machine=ibmrt-aix;
409 -opsystem=bsd4-2 or -opsystem=usg5-2-2)
411 18.52 works on both operating systems.
412 Use -opsystem=bsd4-2 for the 4.2-like system and -opsystem=usg5-2-2
415 On BSD, if you have trouble, try compiling with a different compiler.
417 On AIX, the file /usr/lib/samples/hft/hftctl.c must be compiled into
418 hftctl.o, with this result left in the src directory (hftctl.c is
419 part of the standard AIX distribution).
421 window.c must not be compiled with -O on AIX.
423 Integrated Solutions `Optimum V' (-machine=isi-ov;
424 -opsystem=bsd4-2 or -opsystem=bsd4-3)
426 18.52 said to work on some sort of ISI machine.
427 Version 18.45 worked (running on a Optimum V (VME bus, 68020)
428 BSD 4.2 (3.05e) system). 18.42 is reported to work on
429 a Qbus 68010 system. Has not been tried on `WorkStation' `Cluster
430 Compute Node' `Cluster WorkStation' or `Server Node' (Love the
433 Compilation with -O is rumored to break something.
435 On recent system versions, you may need to undefine the macro UMAX
436 in lib-src/loadst.c and src/getpagesize.h. They stupidly defined this
437 in a system header file, which confuses Emacs (which thinks that UMAX
438 indicates the Umax operating system).
440 Intel 386 (-machine=intel386 or -machine=is386;
441 -opsystem=bsd4-2, usg5-2-2, usg5-3, isc2-2, 386-ix,
444 18.58 should support a wide variety of operating systems.
445 Use -opsystem=isc2-2 for Interactive 386/ix version 2.2.
446 Use -opsystem=386ix for prior versions.
447 Use -opsystem=esix for Esix.
448 It isn't clear what to do on an SCO system. The system's C
449 preprocessor doesn't seem to handle the src subdirectory's Make
450 trickery, so you will probably need to install the GNU C preprocessor.
452 If you are using Xenix, see notes above under Xenix.
454 Some sysV.3 systems seem to have bugs in `opendir';
455 for them, alter `config.h' to define NONSYSTEM_DIR_LIBRARY
456 and undefine SYSV_SYSTEM_DIR.
458 If you use optimization on V.3, you may need the option -W2,'-y 0'
459 to prevent certain faulty optimization.
461 On 386/ix, to link with shared libraries, add #define USG_SHARED_LIBRARIES
464 There is no consistency in the handling of certain system header files
467 Some versions have sys/sioctl.h, and require it in sysdep.c.
468 But some versions do not have sys/sioctl.h.
469 For a given version of the system, this may depend on whether you have
470 X Windows or TCP/IP. Define or undefine NO_SIOCTL_H in config.h
471 according to whether you have the file.
473 Likewise, some versions have been known to need sys/ttold.h, sys/stream.h,
474 and sys/ptem.h included in sysdep.c. If your system has these files,
475 try defining NEED_PTEM_H in config.h if you have trouble without it.
477 You may find that adding -I/usr/X/include or -I/usr/netinclude or both
478 to CFLAGS avoids compilation errors on certain systems.
480 Some versions convince sysdep.c to try to use `struct tchars'
481 but define `struct tc' instead; add `#define tchars tc'
482 to config.h to solve this problem.
484 The file -machine=is386 is used for an Integrated Solutions 386 machine.
485 It may also be correct for Microport systems.
487 Iris 2500 (-machine=irist; -opsystem=iris3-5 or -opsystem=iris3-6)
489 Version 18 said to work; use -opsystem=irist3-5 for system version 2.5
490 and -opsystem=iris3-6 for system version 3.6.
492 Iris 2500 Turbo (-machine=irist; -opsystem=iris3-5 or -opsystem=iris3-6)
494 18.49 works. Use -opsystem=iris3-6 for system versions 3.6 and up.
495 Note that the 3030 is the same machine as this.
497 Iris 4D (-machine=iris4d; -opsystem=irix3-3)
499 18.56 is known to work on 4D series machines with Irix 3.3 or later.
501 If you use the X menu facility, you must edit oldXmenu/Makefile
506 Someone said that with the yellow pages you must change two definitions
507 in -machine=iris4d as follows:
509 #define LIBS_MACHINE -lsun -lbsd -lPW -lmld
510 #define C_SWITCH_MACHINE -I/usr/include/sun -I/usr/include/bsd
512 jg@bambi.esd.sgi.com says this isn't true anymore,
513 but the info might as well be here just in case.
517 We are boycotting Apple because of Apple's efforts to take away
518 our freedom to write compatible imitations of existing software.
519 If you value your freedom to write such programs, we urge you
520 not to buy from Apple, not to develop software for Apple, and
521 certainly not to accept a job with Apple.
523 See the file APPLE in this directory for more information.
525 Masscomp (-machine=masscomp; -opsystem=rtu)
527 18.36 worked on a 5500DP running RTU v3.1a and compiler version 3.2
528 with minor fixes that are included in 18.37. However, bizarre behavior
529 was reported for 18.36 on a Masscomp (model and version unknown but probably
530 a 68020 system). The report sounds like a compiler bug.
532 A compiler bug affecting statements like
533 unsigned char k; unsigned char *p;... x = p[k];
534 has been reported for "C version 1.2 under RTU 3.1". We do not wish
535 to take the time to install the numerous workarounds required to
536 compensate for this bug; go complain to Masscomp.
538 For RTU version 3.1, define FIRST_PTY_LETTER to be 'p' in src/s/rtu.h
539 (or #undef and redefine it in config.h) so that ptys will be used.
541 GNU Emacs is said to have no chance of compiling on RTU versions
544 Megatest (-machine=mega68; -opsystem=bsd4-2)
546 Emacs 15 worked; do not have any reports about Emacs 16 or 17
547 but any new bugs are probably not difficult.
549 Mips (-machine=mips or -machine=mips4; -opsystem=usg5-2-2, -opsystem=bsd4-3)
551 Changes merged in 18.39. Some fixes in 18.56.
553 Use -machine=mips4 for RISCOS version 4; use -opsystem=bsd4-3 with
556 Motorola Delta (-machine=delta; -opsystem=usg5-3)
558 Machine support added in version 18.56.
560 National Semiconductor 32000 (-machine=ns32000; -opsystem=usg5-2)
562 This is for a complete machine from National Semiconductor,
563 running Genix. Changes merged in version 19.
565 NCR Tower 32 running System V release 2 (-machine=tower32; -opsystem=usg5-2-2)
567 Works as of 17.56. If you change src/ymakefile so that CFLAGS includes
568 C_OPTIMIZE_SWITCH rather than C_DEBUG_SWITCH, check out the comments
569 in src/m/tower32.h about this.
571 There is a report that compilation with -O did not work with 18.54.
573 NCR Tower 32 running System V release 3 (-machine=tower32v3; -opsystem=usg5-3)
575 Works as of 18.56. If you change src/ymakefile so that CFLAGS includes
576 C_OPTIMIZE_SWITCH rather than C_DEBUG_SWITCH, and do not use gcc, check
577 out the comments in src/m/tower32v3.h about this.
579 Nixdorf Targon 31 (-machine=targon31; -opsystem=usg5-2-2)
581 Machine description file for version 17 is included in 18
582 but whether it works is not known.
583 src/unexec.c bombs if compiled with -O.
584 Note that the "Targon 35" is really a Pyramid.
586 Nu (TI or LMI) (-machine=nu; -opsystem=usg5-2)
588 Version 18 is believed to work.
590 Plexus (-machine=plexus; -opsystem=usg5-2)
594 Pmax (DEC Mips) (-machine=pmax; -opsystem=bsd4-2)
596 See under DECstation, above.
598 Prime EXL (-machine=intel386; -opsystem=usg5-3)
600 Minor changes merged in 19.1.
602 Pyramid (-machine=pyramid; -opsystem=bsd4-2)
604 In OSx 4.0, it seems necessary to add the following two lines
606 #define _longjmp longjmp
607 #define _setjmp setjmp
609 In Pyramid system 2.5 there has been a compiler bug making
610 Emacs crash just after screen-splitting with Qnil containing 0.
611 A compiler that fixes this is Pyramid customer number 8494,
612 internal number 1923.
614 Some versions of the pyramid compiler get fatal
615 errors when the -gx compiler switch is used; if this
616 happens to you, change src/m/pyramid.h to define
617 C_DEBUG_SWITCH with an empty definition.
619 Some old system versions may require you to define PYRAMID_OLD
620 in when alloca.s is preprocessed, in order to define _longjmp and _setjmp.
622 Sequent Balance (-machine=sequent;
623 -opsystem=bsd4-2, or -opsystem=bsd4-3 on newer systems)
625 Emacs 18.51 should work on system version 3.0. 18.52 is said to work.
626 Delete some lines at the end of src/m/sequent.h for earlier system
629 Sequent Symmetry (-machine=symmetry; -opsystem=bsd4-3)
631 Emacs 19 should work.
633 SONY News (-machine=news;
634 -opsystem=bsd4-2, or -opsystem=bsd4-3 for system release 3)
638 SONY News 3000 series (RISC NEWS) (-machine=news-risc; -opsystem=bsd4-3)
640 Works, as of 18.56. Note that this is a MIPS architecture machine.
642 Stardent 1500 or 3000
646 Stride (-machine=stride; -opsystem=usg5-2)
648 Works (most recent news for 18.30) on their release 2.0.
649 For release 2.2, see the end of src/m/stride.h.
650 It may be possible to run on their V.1 system but changes
651 in the s- file would be needed.
653 Sun 1, 2 and 3 (-machine=sun1, -machine=sun2, -machine=sun3;
654 -opsystem=bsd4-2, sunos4-0, or sunos4-1)
656 There are three machine files for different versions of SunOS.
657 All are derived from Berkeley 4.2. Emacs 17 has run on all of them.
658 Whether you should use -machine=sun1, -machine=sun2 or -machine=sun3
659 depends on the VERSION OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM you have.
660 You will need to use -machine=sun3 on Sun 2's running SunOS release 3.
662 For SunOS release 4 on a Sun 3, use -machine=sun3 and
663 -opsystem=sunos4-0 or -opsystem=sunos4-1.
664 See the file share-lib/SUNBUG for how to solve problems caused by
665 bugs in the "export" version of SunOS 4.
667 If you have trouble using open-network-stream, get the
668 distribution of `bind' (the BSD name-server), build libresolv.a,
669 and link Emacs with -lresolv. This problem is due to obsolete
670 software in the nonshared standard library.
672 If you want to use SunWindows, define HAVE_SUN_WINDOWS
673 in config.h to enable a special interface called `emacstool'.
674 The definition must *precede* the #include "machine.h".
675 System version 3.2 is required for this facility to work.
677 We recommend that you instead use the X window system, which
678 has technical advantages, is an industry standard, and is also
681 If you are compiling for X windows, and the X window library was
682 compiled to use the 68881, then you must edit config.h according
683 the comments at the end of -machine=sun3.
685 Note that Emacs on a Sun is not really as big as it looks.
686 As dumped, it includes around 200k of zeros between the
687 original text section and the original data section
688 (now remapped as part of the text). These are never
691 To build a single Emacs that will run on Sun 2 and Sun 3
692 HARDWARE, just build it on the Sun 2.
694 Sun 4 (-machine=sparc;
695 -opsystem=bsd4-2, -opsystem=sunos4-0, -opsystem=sunos4-1)
697 Changes merged in 18.50. Some people say optimizing compilation
698 does not work; some say that -O2 (whatever that is) works
699 perhaps with a small change.
701 Use -opsystem=sunos4-0 for operating system version 4.0, and
702 -opsystem=sunos4-1 for later versions.
703 See the file share-lib/SUNBUG for how to solve problems caused by
704 bugs in the "export" version of SunOS 4.
706 Sun Roadrunner (-machine=sun386; -opsystem=sunos4-0 or -opsystem=sunos4-1)
708 Changes merged in 18.51.
710 Tadpole 68K (-machine=tad68k; -opsystem=usg5-3)
712 Changes merged in 19.1.
714 You may need to edit Makefile to change the variables LIBDIR and
715 BINDIR from /usr/local to /usr/contrib.
717 To give movemail access to /usr/mail, you may need to execute
719 chmod 2755 etc/movemail; chgrp mail etc/movemail
721 Tahoe (-machine=tahoe; -opsystem=bsd4-2 or -opsystem=bsd4-3)
723 18.52 known to work on some Tahoes, but a compiler bug intervenes
724 on others. Some Emacs versions have worked in Unisys 1r4
725 (not in 1r3) and CCI I.21.
727 If you have trouble compiling lib-src/loadst.c, turn off the definition
728 of DKSTAT_HEADER_FILE in -machine=tahoe.
730 Tandem Integrity S2 (-machine=tandem-s2; -opsystem=usg5-3)
732 Changes merged in 18.56 but subprocess support is turned off.
733 You will probably want to see if you can make subprocesses work.
735 You must edit lib-src/Makefile to define LOADLIBES = -mld.
737 Tektronix 16000 box (6130?) (-machine=ns16000; -opsystem=bsd4-2)
741 Tektronix 4300 (-machine=tek4300; -opsystem=bsd4-3)
743 Emacs 18.51 should work.
745 Titan P2 or P3 (-machine=titan; -opsystem=usg5-3)
747 Changes probably merged in version 19.
749 Ustation E30 (SS5E) (-machine=ustation; -opsystem=unipl5-2).
751 Changes merged in 18.52; don't know whether they work.
753 Vax running Berkeley Unix (-machine=vax;
754 -opsystem=bsd4-1, bsd4-2 or bsd4-3)
758 Vax running Ultrix (-machine=vax; -opsystem=bsd4-2)
760 Works. See under Ultrix for problems using X windows on Ultrix.
762 Vax running System V rel 2 (-machine=vax; -opsystem=usg5-2)
766 Vax running System V rel 0 (-machine=vax; -opsystem=usg5-0)
770 Vax running VMS (-machine=vax; -opsystem=vms
771 but on VMS they are m_vax.h and s_vms.h)
773 18.36 believed to work. Addition of features is necessary to make
774 this Emacs version more usable.
776 Whitechapel MG1 (-machine=mg1, s-?)
778 May work. Supposedly no changes were needed except the m- file.
779 I do not know what Unix version runs on them.
781 Wicat (-machine=wicat; -opsystem=usg5-2)
783 Changes merged as of 18.6; whether they work is unknown.
784 See comments in src/m/wicat.h for things you should change
785 depending on the system and compiler version you have.
