[comp.sys.hp] Bringing up gnuemacs on an older version of HP-UX

wwm@pmsmam.uucp (Bill Meahan) (05/23/91)

I'm trying to bring up GNU Emacs on an HP9000/825 which, for reasons not
germane to this discussion, is still running HP-UX 2.1 (remember, this is
an 800 series).

process.c will NOT compile due to inconsistancies in the WAIT* definitions.
I've tried every combination of define/undef I can think of to no avail.

On our 835 under HP-UX 7.0, emacs compiles without incident.  Runs too :-)

Apparently I haven't uttered the right incantation nor worn the right color
jockstrap while dancing under the New Moon while waving a rubber chicken
over my head.  (Wait - that last is for hard disk problems, darn!)

All half-baked levity aside, can anyone point me in the right direction.

No, I CANNOT upgrade to 7.0.  You DON'T want to know why, believe me.

Thanks in advance.
