My trusty version 18.54 of Gnu Emacs won't build properly on a Sun3/80 running SunOS 4.1.1. I used s-sunos4.h and m-sun3.h in config.h, and got a protest from the linker about getpagesize being defined twice in malloc.c. By commenting out getpagesize.h I can get temacs to build, but it dumps core when it attempts to load site-init.el in the `/temacs -batch -l loadup.el dump' stage of the make. The behavior is the same whether I compile with gcc or the default cc. The core dump pointed at malloc, so I tried compiling with SYSTEM_MALLOC defined. That produced a quick core dump when temacs ran, with a protest about an `Arithmetic error'. My apologies if these are Frequently Asked Questions, but I'd appreciate any suggestions to get Emacs up and running on this machine. I'm desperate without it. Thanks. -- Ronald Florence ron@mlfarm.com
