The letter below was sent to Daniel Lawrence, creator of MicroEmacs. After about 3 weeks, I've not heard back, so I ask the Usenet community to help me with my problem. I discovered that someone at my site had a tar copy of me3.9, so I brought it down to my Amiga 1000 and started to work on compiling it. The only makefiles were .mwc and .unx, so I made one of my own for Aztec 3.6a. It was compiled with 'cc -Z3000 -o *.o *.c' (the standard .c.o: macro), and linked with 'ln *.o -lc' with no problems. -Z3000 was used because main.c complained about lack of string space. The ansi executable was created (because ANSI was #defined, along with AZTEC and AMIGA in estruct.h), but when run, only produced the ME3.9/Amiga screen and then hung. I had all of the related files in the current dir (*.cmd, amiga.rc, emacs.hlp, emacs.mss, etc), but nothing much happened before reboot time. Do you have any ideas on what I did wrong? I would appreciate any hints you can give me as I was looking forward to trying out your emacs. Thanx a lot. Have any Amigos out there gotten me3.9 to compile and run with Manx 3.6? I should note that the ANSI terminal switch was defined, because there was not one specifically for the Amiga. Should I be using another one? Thank you one and all.
