Has anyone been able to mount GNUemacs on an HP9000 model 850 computer running
HP-UX 6.2? The supplied configuration works on the 300 series but not on the
850. I have written an UNEXEC() routine that works with other programs but not
GNUemacs. Am I doing something wrong ?!!

We are using both HP-UX 2.1 on our 850's and HP-UX 6.2 on our 350's and running GNUemacs without problems. -bruce Bruce LaVigne ARPA: bruce%hpda@hplabs.hp.com UUCP: {ucbvax,hplabs}!hpda!bruce USnail: c/o Hewlett-Packard m/s 42L8 19447 Pruneridge Avenue Cupertino, CA 95014 Phone: (408)447-6279 work

Don't try it on 1.2 or anything less than 2.0; the optimizers weren't good enough. Our 840 has been running Emacs 18.52 for a month or two now, and the 840 and 850 are binary compatible. I know someone who has been running 18.51 on his 850 for about six months, or some similarly long amount of time. > The supplied configuration works on the 300 series but not on the 850. Use "m-hp9000s800.h" instead of "m-hp9000s300.h" in your src/config.h file. The "s-hpux.h" file works for both architectures. > I have written an UNEXEC() routine that works with other programs but not > GNUemacs. Am I doing something wrong ?!! Apparently. Emacs 18.52 ships an unexec() for the Series 800 machines that works just fine, and even allows you to do symbolic debugging on Emacs. John Morris wrote it originally, then added some minor tweaks to it for the 18.5x releases of Emacs. See the tailoring information in etc/MACHINES (look for "hp9000" in the file). I can mail the config.h files I used for our 300 and 800 machines to bring up 18.52. I made only one change to the sources: the s800 has job control but sysdep.c's #defines didn't allow you to get at it. Send mail if you want any of the changes. bob desinger bd@sde.HP.COM hplabs!hp-sde!bd uunet!hpda!hp-sde!bd
