[net.emacs] GNU Emacs for SUN 2

kurtenba@sask.UUCP (Gordon Kurtenbach) (12/10/85)

Has anyone ported GNUemacs to a Sun 2/120 running BSD4.2?  
I've got a copy of the source but it won't compile. If someone has
GNUemacs running successfully on a Sun 2 I'd like to hear what fixes
they did to the code to get it to compile or, better yet, they
could send me a copy of the source.

I am also interested in GNUmacs for the SUN/2. I'd appreciate hearing
from someone who has successfully ported it.

gnuemacs 16.60.X runs without modifications on a Sun 2 runnning 2.0.  Note
however, that although it compiles alright, it dies when users with yp entries
(i.e. +user: ) try to use it.  The problem is due to an obscure bug in the sun
library code; some sort of dynamic memory overrun.  Compiling gnuemacs with
range checking turned on (-Drcheck) is a succesful workaround.

Yes.  We had a problem with the version we had - it was 15 something - it
would compile on our VAX, but not on the SUN.  We are running 16.56 on our
SUNs now, though.  There were no problems in installation.

I have compiled GNU Emacs 17.63 on a Sun 2 under Version 3.0 of Sun's
OS and am having trouble getting it to run.  It worked fine on version 2.1
and also works fine if I load lisp modules into the "temacs" binary
produced by the makefile, so I suspect that there is a bug in my version
of unexec.c.  If someone has a version of unexec.c for Sun 2's that works
on version 3.0 of the OS, could he please mail me it or diffs to me.

Thanks.
