[comp.emacs] GNUemacs on HP 850

ian@mva.cs.liv.ac.uk (10/28/88)

Has anyone been able to mount GNUemacs on an HP9000 model 850 computer running
HP-UX 6.2? The supplied configuration works on the 300 series but not on the
850. I have written an UNEXEC() routine that works with other programs but not
GNUemacs. Am I doing something wrong ?!!

That's a series 300 version number.

I have GNUemacs 18.51 running on a series 840 with HP-UX version A.B2.10.  I
had no problems bringing it up.  What version of HP-UX are you running on your
850, and what problems are you having?  The unexec that I have works ok, but
since I got the distribution from an internal source, it may not be the
version that comes from FSF.

a.  It takes at least version 18.51 from FSF to unexec on an 800 series
    machine.  In that version there is an unexhp9k800.c which will work
    (and can be retrofitted to previous emacs versions.

b.  Or, I have a more robust version running with 18.49 that I can mail you
    if you want.
