[comp.emacs] MicroEMACS 3.10 and the Sun386i

stuarth@csis.oz (Stuart Hungerford) (11/17/89)

Has anyone out there successfully compiled and run MicroEmacs 3.10
under SunOS 4.0.2?    When I set the system type to "SUN" in
estruct.h I get lots of nasty compilation errors.  When I set it
to "BSD" it compiles just fine.
 
Unfortunately, there is some Sun specific code there (particularly
in tcap.c) which I miss out on.
 
Also, no matter what I set the appropriate macro to, the status line at
the bottom of the screen never displays in reverse video.
 
All this has been taking place on a Sun386i under SunOS 4.0.2   If you
have a simple answer please email -- I'm considering going back to
MicroEMACS 3.9!

  One of the sites handling mail to .oz is bouncing things, so here
goes. I have had best luck with memacs on Sun by putting /usr/5bin at
the start of the PATH and compiling for SysV. This may help you. My
status line comes out correctly, although I have "reverse video" in the
termcap set to high intensity green because I don't like the readability
of the actual reverse video.
