[comp.sys.hp] GNU emacs on HP/UX 7.0

piet@cs.ruu.nl (Piet van Oostrum) (03/12/90)

We have just installed HP/UX 7.0 and I noticed a few strange things with
emacs( I use emacs with X-windows):

When I have a shell running, the interrupt-shell-subjob (C-c C-c) command
does not interrupt a running command. In fact when I type the two C-c's
very fast it does nothing. When I wait until the first one appears in the
mini-buffer, and then the second one it beeps and displays "Quit", but does
not interrupt the command.

When I tried this with C-c C-z, the emacs window just disappeared (i.e.
emacs aborted without any message (There was a 'Hangup' message in my
window-manager's logfile).

Does anybody have experience with this? Or should I just recompile emacs?

I have had the same problem with with signals in emacs 18.55 on 
HPUX 7.0.  If anyone has ported emacs to 7.0 and could post or mail
the appropriate configuration files (config.h, s-hpux.h, 
m-hp9000s800.h and any other files that had to be changed) we would
really appreciate it!  I was tempted to define BSD and try rebuilding,
but noticed that there are many parts of emacs that depend on BSD, and
I wasn't convinced that they would all continue working.
