[net.emacs] Help needed with installing GNU 17.49 on Gould

dirkjan@zuring.uucp (Dirk Jan Smit) (03/13/86)

I'm sending this message for a friend:
=============================================================
We resently got a gould PN6000 and we also got GNU 17.49
(ordered directly from Free Software Corp.).
The problem is that I'm not sure what all the correct defines
are for the Gould (there is no m-gould.h file).
Please could someone send me the following files (as far as they are necessary):
    config.h
    m-gould.h
    crt0.c
    ymakefile

Many thanks in advance,

=============================================================
You can also reply to me, but, better, directly to i91.

Greetings,

There has been no port made to the Gould machine as yet.
Given the existence in later Emacs versions of a portable `alloca'
(written by Doug Gwyn) it should only take a moderate amount of hacking
to do.  However, it is up to the people who use Gould machines to do
this work!  We will certainly distribute the modifications needed to
make Emacs work so that other Gould users can benefit, but we have
neither the resources nor the motiviation to do so ourselves.

So, only thing I know about doing a Gould port is that you should
#define C_ALLOCA in m-gould.h.  Everything else is up to people who
use and know about Gould machines.
