[comp.emacs] Gnu emacs on Sun 4.0 OS?

spencer@crim.eecs.umich.edu (Spencer W. Thomas) (07/06/88)

Has anyone made Gnu emacs work under Sun's 4.0 operating system?  The
problem is, of course, in the crt file (where else...), which has been
changed to support shared libraries.  I tried making it with -Bstatic,
but that didn't help.

I got Gnu Emacs 18.50 up on my Sun 386i running SunOS 4.0 without any
problems.  Under SunOS 4.0, you can set START_FILES to pre-crt0.o and
/lib/crt0.o.

(If you discover that a Sun machine that cannot do this, please let me
know.)

I also discovered that you need to link with -n and -Bstatic, due to the
dynamic linking that SunOS 4.0 defaults to.
