I built it with SYSTEM_MALLOC defined in src/config.h. It works fine now. A related question: Has anyone successfuly built emacs 18.55 on SS1 SunOS 4.1 with gcc 1.37.1? When I did my temacs dumped core mighty quick. Ej

In gdb it looks like: Program received signal 10, Bus error 0x41188 in staticpro (varaddress=(int *) 0xbce00) (alloc.c line 679) (gdb) where #0 0x41188 in staticpro (varaddress=(int *) 0xbce00) (alloc.c line 679) #1 0x5a308 in init_obarray () (lread.c line 1094) #2 0x1e004 in main (...) (...) But I was unable to figure out the problem. Donald Bashford bashford@scripps.edu

>>A related question: Has anyone successfuly built emacs >>18.55 on SS1 SunOS 4.1 with gcc 1.37.1? When I did >>my temacs dumped core mighty quick. The problem is due to emacs using a char array as ints, and sparc alignment doesn't allow that, but Sun cc aligns the array on an int boundary anyway so it's ok unless you use gcc. The fix is: Article 2206 of gnu.gcc.bug: Path: mojo!mimsy!haven!purdue!tut.cis.ohio-state.edu!AI.MIT.EDU!rms From: rms@AI.MIT.EDU Newsgroups: gnu.gcc.bug Subject: gcc 1.36 fails to make emacs Message-ID: <8911082240.AA04259@sugar-bombs.ai.mit.edu> Date: 8 Nov 89 22:40:51 GMT References: <8911081740.AA09001@orchestra.ecn.purdue.edu> Sender: daemon@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu Distribution: gnu Organization: GNUs Not Usenet Lines: 13 The bug is in Emacs. Please try the following change in alloc.c in Emacs: int staticidx = 0; #ifdef __GNUC__ Lisp_Object *staticvec[NSTATICS] = {0}; #else char staticvec1[NSTATICS * sizeof (Lisp_Object *)] = {0}; #define staticvec ((Lisp_Object **) staticvec1) #endif /* Put an entry in staticvec, pointing at the variable whose address is given */ -- David J.
