On these machines, to use it, put + #define HAVE_ALLOCA + #define LIB_STANDARD -lPW -lc + in the m-...h file for the machine. + + If you find that the character Meta-DEL makes Emacs crash, + find where function init_sys_modes in sysdep.c sets sg.c_cc[VQUIT] + and make it store 7 there. I have as yet no evidence of whether + this problem, known in HP-UX, exists in other system V versions. + +System V rel 2.2 (s-usg5-2-2.h) + + 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 (s-usg5-3.h) + + Some versions of this system support ptys and BSD-style sockets. + On such systems, you should define HAVE_PTYS and HAVE_SOCKETS in config.h. + + If you want to link Emacs with shared libraries, define + USG_SHARED_LIBRARIES. + +System V rel 4 (s-usg5-4.h) + + Supported, including shared libraries for ELF, but ptys do not + work because TIOCGPGRP fails to work on ptys. + 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. + +Ultrix (s-bsd4-2.h) + + DEC's Ultrix OS is essentially Berkeley 4.2. It does not correctly + implement certain features of 4.3. + + 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 (s-unipl5-2.h) + + Works, on Dual machines at least. + +VMS (s-vms.h) + + Works except for certain features (directory listing, dired, + sending and receiving mail) that use synchronous subprocesses. + We need people to write alternative implementations of these + facilities. + + Note that Emacs for VMS is usually distributed in a special + VMS distribution. See the file ../VMSINSTALL for info on moving + Unix distributions to VMS, and other VMS-related topics. + +Xenix + + Should work in 18.50, but you will need to edit the files + etc/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. + +Machines: + For each type of machine, the names of the m- and s- header files + are given. + +Alliant (m-alliant4.h or m-alliant.h or m-alliant1.h; s-bsd4-2.h) + + 18.52 works on system version 4. Previous Emacs versions were + known to work on previous system versions. + + Use m-alliant1.h on version 1 of their operating system + and use m-alliant.h on version 2 or 3. + Use m-alliant4.h on version 4. + +Altos 3068 (m-altos.h; s-usg5-2.h) + + 18.52 is said to work, provided you don't compile unexec.c with -O. + +Amdahl UTS (m-amdahl.h; s-usg5-2-2.h) + + 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 Domain (m-apollo.h; s-bsd4-2.h) + + 18.52 works, to some extent. + Code for dumping Emacs has been written, but we cannot + distribute it yet. + There are reports of bugs in cc -O on this system. + + In etc/Makefile, don't expect emacsclient and emacsserver to + compile. You might want to remove them from your makefile. + + Supposedly something in dired.c runs into a compiler bug. + Paraphrasing the statement should avoid the problem. + I havenot yet received word as to the exact statement this is. + +AT&T 3b2, 3b5, 3b15, 3b20 (m-att3b.h; s-usg5-2-2.h) + + 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. If it's too small, + you can perhaps fix it using the file `ulimit.hack' in this directory. + + Note that for V.3.1 and later releases, 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. Do not use ulimit.hack if you have V.3.1 or later. + + 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. + +AT&T 7300 or 3b1 (m-7300.h; s-usg5-2-2.h) + + 18.52 seems to work. If you have strange troubles with dumping Emacs, + delete the last few lines from m-7300.h and recompile. These lines + are supposed to produce a sharable executable. + + 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 sps7 (m-sps7.h; s-usg5-2.h) + + Changes partially merged in version 19, but some fixes are probably required. + +CCI 5/32, 6/32 + + See "Tahoe". + +Celerity (m-celerity.h; s-bsd4-2.h) + + Version 18.49 works. + +Clipper (m-clipper.h; ???) + + Version 19 has support for some brand of clipper system. + Note that the Orion 105 is also a clipper, but some system-related + parameters are different. + +Convex (m-convex.h; s-bsd4-3.h) + + 18.53 is supposed to work. + +Cubix QBx/386 (m-intel386.h; s-usg5-3.h) + + Changes merged in 19.1. Systems before 2/A/0 may fail to compile etags.c + due to a compiler bug. + +Cydra 5 (m-cydra5.h; s-usg5-3.h) + + 18.51 worked in one version of their operating system but stopped + working in a newer version. This has not been fixed. + +DECstation (m-pmax.h; s-bsd4-2.h) + + Works, as of 18.55. See under Ultrix for problems using X windows + on Ultrix. Note that this is a MIPS machine. + +Delta (m-delta.h; s-usg5-3.h) + + Motorola Delta boxes running System V/68 release 3. + (tested on sys1147 with SVR3V5). Changes merged in 19.1. + +Dual running System V (m-dual.h; s-usg5-2.h) + + As of 17.46, this works except for a few changes + needed in unexec.c. + +Dual running Uniplus (m-dual.h; s-unipl5-2.h) + + Works, as of 17.51. + +Elxsi 6400 (m-elxsi; s-usg5-2.h) + + Changes for 12.0 release are in 19.1. + Dumping should work now. + +Encore machine (m-ns16000.h; s-umax.h) + + 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 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. + +GEC 93 (m-gec93.h; s-usg5-2.h?) + + Changes are partially merged in version 18, but + certainly require more work. + +Gould Power Node (m-gould.h; s-bsd4-2.h or s-bsd4-3.h) + + 18.36 worked on versions 1.2 and 2.0 of the operating system. + + On UTX/32 2.0, use s-bsd4-3.h. + + On UTX/32 1.2 and UTX/32S 1.0, use s-bsd4-2.h and note that compiling + etc/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 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 (m-gould-np1.h; s-bsd4-3.h) + + Version 19 supposedly works. + +Honeywell XPS100 (m-xps100.h; s-usg5-2.h) + + Config file added in version 19. + +HP 9000 series 200 or 300 (m-hp9000s300.h; s-hpux.h or s-bsd4-3.h) + + Version 18 works. + 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 choice of s- file determines which system Emacs is built for. + + Series 200 HPUX runs Emacs only if it has the "HP-UX upgrade". + + 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 refered to as + Network Services (NS/9000) in HP literature. + +HP 9000 series 300 running BSD 4.3 (m-hp300bsd.h; s-bsd4-3.h) + + Version 18.55 works. + +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 800 (Spectrum) (m-hp9000s800.h; s-hpux.h) + + These files support HP's Precision Architecture machines + running HP-UX. It has been moderately tested on the Series + 840. + +High Level Hardware Orion (m-orion.h; s-bsd4-2.h) + + This is the original microprogrammed hardware. + m- file ought to work. + +High Level Hardware Orion 1/05 (m-orion105.h; s-bsd4-2.h) + + 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. + +IBM PS/2 (m-ibmps2-aix.h; s-usg5-2-2.h) + + Changes merged in version 19. You may need to copy + /usr/lib/samples/hft/hftctl.c to the Emacs src directory. + +IBM RS/6000 (m-ibmrs6000.h; s-aix3-1.h) + + Changes merged in version 19. + + Note that Emacs can store the pure Lisp data in a shared segment on + this machine, but only if you put this command in one of the boot + scripts + + emacs -batch -q + + so that it is run as root when the machine is booted. This command + creates a read-only shared segment owned by root. Otherwise the + pure data is not shared. The pure data size is around 100K, which + may not be enough to matter for most users of this machine. + +IBM RT/PC (m-ibmrt.h or m-ibmrt-aix.h; s-bsd4-2.h or s-usg5-2-2.h) + + 18.52 works on both operating systems. + Use s-bsd-4-2.h for the 4.2-like system and s-usg5-2-2.h for 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' (m-isi-ov.h; s-bsd4-2.h or s-bsd4-3.h) + + 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 etc/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). + +Intel 80386 (m-intel386.h or m-is386.h; s-bsd4-2.h, s-usg5-2-2.h, s-usg5-3.h, + s-386-ix.h or s-xenix.h) + + Changes merged in 18.50 for all three operating systems. + If you are using Xenix, see notes above under Xenix. + + 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. + + 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. + Some versions have been known to need sys/ttold.h, sys/stream.h, + and sys/ptem.h included in sysdep.c. + 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. + + The file m-is386.h is used for an Integrated Solutions 386 machine. + It may also be correct for Microport systems. + +Iris 2500 (m-irist.h; s-iris3-5.h or s-iris3-6.h) + + Version 18 said to work; use s-irist3-5.h for system version 2.5 + and s-iris3-6.h for system version 3.6. + +Iris 2500 Turbo (m-irist.h; s-iris3-5.h or s-iris3-6.h) + + 18.49 works. Use s-iris3-6.h for system versions 3.6 and up. + Note that the 3030 is the same machine as this. + +Iris 4D (m-iris4d.h; s-iris3-6.h or s-irix3-3.h) + + Changes for 18.49 are merged in 18.50. 18.52 seems to work. + The system version called Irix 3.3 is newer than what was called 3.6. + + Note that the compilation of etc/loadst.c requires editing etc/Makefile. + See the comment in that file. + + Someone says that with the yellow pages you must change two definitions + in m-iris4d.h as follows: + + #define LIBS_MACHINE -lsun -lbsd -lPW -lmld + #define C_SWITCH_MACHINE -I/usr/include/sun -I/usr/include/bsd + +Macintosh + + We are boycotting Apple because of Apple's efforts to take away + our freedom to write compatible imitations of existing software. + If you value your freedom to write such programs, we urge you + not to buy from Apple, not to develop software for Apple, and + certainly not to accept a job with Apple. + + See the file APPLE in this directory for more information. + +Masscomp (m-masscomp.h; s-rtu.h) + + 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; go complain to Masscomp. + + For RTU version 3.1, define FIRST_PTY_LETTER to be 'p' in 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 (m-mega68.h; s-bsd4-2.h) + + Emacs 15 worked; do not have any reports about Emacs 16 or 17 + but any new bugs are probably not difficult. + +Mips (m-mips.h or m-mips4.h; s-usg5-2-2.h) + + Changes merged in 18.39. + + Use m-mips4.h for RISCOS version 4. + +Motorola Delta (m-delta.h; s-usg5-3.h) + + m- file added in version 18.56. + +National Semiconductor 32000 (m-ns32000.h; s-usg5-2.h) + + This is for a complete machine from National Semiconductor, + running Genix. Changes merged in version 19. + +NCR Tower 32 (m-tower32.h; s-usg5-2.h) + + Works as of 17.56. + +Nixdorf Targon 31 (m-targon31.h; s-usg5-2-2.h) + + m- 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) (m-nu.h; s-usg5-2.h) + + Version 18 is believed to work. + +Plexus (m-plexus.h; s-usg5-2.h) + + Works as of 17.56. + +Pmax (DEC Mips) (m-pmax.h; s-bsd4-2.h) + + See under DECstation, above. + +Prime EXL (m-intel386.h; s-usg5-3.h) + + Minor changes merged in 19.1. + +Pyramid (m-pyramid.h; s-bsd4-2.h) + + In OSx 4.0, it seems necessary to add the following two lines + to 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 (m-sequent.h; s-bsd4-2.h, or s-bsd4-3.h on newer systems) + + Emacs 18.51 should work on system version 3.0. 18.52 is said to work. + Delete some lines at the end of m-sequent.h for earlier system versions. + +Sequent Symmetry (m-symmetry.h; s-bsd4-3.h) + + Emacs 19 should work. + +SONY News (m-news.h; s-bsd4-2.h, or s-bsd4-3.h for system release 3) + + 18.52 should work. + +SONY News 3000 series (RISC NEWS) (m-news-risc.h; s-bsd4-3.h) + + Works, as of 18.56. Note that this is a MIPS architecture machine. + +Stardent 1500 or 3000 + + See Titan. + +Stride (m-stride.h; s-usg5-2.h) + + Works (most recent news for 18.30) on their release 2.0. + For release 2.2, see the end of m-stride.h. + It may be possible to run on their V.1 system but changes + in the s- file would be needed. + +Sun 1, 2 and 3 (m-sun1.h, m-sun2.h, m-sun3.h; s-bsd4-2.h or s-sunos4.h) + + There are three m- files for different versions of SunOS. + All are derived from Berkeley 4.2. Emacs 17 has run on all of them. + Whether you should use m-sun1.h, m-sun2.h or m-sun3.h depends + on the VERSION OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM you have. + You will need to use m-sun3.h on Sun 2's running SunOS release 3. + + For SunOS release 4 on a Sun 3, use m-sun3.h and s-sunos4.h. + See the file etc/SUNBUG for how to solve problems caused by bugs in + the "export" version of SunOS 4. + + 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. 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 "m-sun3.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. + + 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 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. + +Sun 4 (m-sparc.h; s-bsd4-2.h or s-sunos4.h) + + Changes merged in 18.50. Some people say optimizing compilation + does not work; some say that -O2 (whatever that is) works + perhaps with a small change. + + Use s-sunos4.h for operating system version 4. + See the file etc/SUNBUG for how to solve problems caused by bugs in + the "export" version of SunOS 4. + +Sun Roadrunner (m-sun386.h; s-sunos4.h) + + Changes merged in 18.51. + +Tahoe (m-tahoe.h; s-bsd4-2.h or s-bsd4-3.h) + + 18.52 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 etc/loadst.c, turn off the definition + of DKSTAT_HEADER_FILE in m-tahoe.h. + +Tektronix 16000 box (6130?) (m-ns16000.h; s-bsd4-2.h) + + Emacs 17.61 worked. + +Tektronix 4300 (m-tex4300.h; s-bsd4-3.h) + + Emacs 18.51 should work. + +Titan P2 or P3 (m-titan.h; s-usg5-3.h) + + Changes probably merged in version 19. + +Ustation E30 (SS5E) (m-ustation.h; s-unipl5-2.h). + + Changes merged in 18.52; don't know whether they work. + +Vax running Berkeley Unix (m-vax.h; s-bsd4-1.h, s-bsd4-2.h or s-bsd4-3.h) + + Works. + +Vax running Ultrix (m-vax.h; s-bsd4-2.h) + + Works.
