[comp.emacs] Installing GNU-emacs on a Sun 386

ecb@utrccm (ecb) (03/24/89)

I'm trying to install GNU-emacs version 18.52 on a Sun 386i running
SunOS4. The distribution files we have were originally used to install
emacs on a VAX 8650 running  version 4.7  of
VMS. I wasn't in on that endeavor. I mention it only to indicate that
the files we have may not be 'virgin'. There may have been changes made to
them to bring emacs up on the VAX of which I'm not aware. 

As per instructions included with the distribution I have the following
lines in the config.h file:

#include s-sunos4.h
#include m-sun386.h

Running build-install gives the following output:

    set EMACS=/home/pek/emacs
    set BIN=/usr/local/bin
    /bin/sed s;/usr/local/emacs;/home/pek/emacs;
    cd etc

Any ideas/suggestions? I'm stumped.
