Has anyone compiled GNU's Emacs, CC, C++, or GDB on a Data General Avion Series 300 and/or a Dec 5810? If so, how did you set up the config.h file? Thanks in advance.

If so, how did you set up the config.h file? For the AViiON, DG offers most of the stuff on it aux. software tape. You might be able to find some of the stuff on dg-rtp.dg.com via anonymous FTP. I redid the initial port for Gnu emcs, and did not have time to release the sources back with the FSF before I left DG. The main problem with DG/UX was that the signal SIGIO is above 31, and you have to use POSIX-style signals. This required finding all of the places that used signals, and add appropriate ifdef's. In terms of GCC, it is the standard compiler on the system and is installed in /usr/bin (/bin/cc is basically gcc -traditional). GDB is availble on the softare tape. I don't know the status of G++. In terms of the Dec 5810, I assume that is a MIPS-based computer. For emacs, use s-bsd4-3.h and m-pmax.h. For GCC, you definately want to wait until 1.38 comes out or get my patches (see gnu.discuss where I posted about this recently). G++ is under construction right now -- you might want to query grunwald@foobar.colorado.edu for the exact status. GDB does exist for DECstations, but I'm not sure where the archvies for it are. -- Michael Meissner email: meissner@osf.org phone: 617-621-8861 Open Software Foundation, 11 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA, 02142 Do apple growers tell their kids money doesn't grow on bushes?
