I've been trying to compile emacs version 18.51.3 on our SUN 3's running
SunOS 4.0 and have encountered several problems. I'm tired and frustrated
and hope somebody has a quick fix.
The first problem occured while linking temacs. I got:
Undefined:
f68881_used
Consulting the SUN Floating Point Programmers' Guide, I discovered that this
was a "low technology trick" (read: kludge or hack) to prevent modules
compiled with the '-f68881' switch and the '-ffpa' switch from being mixed.
Now I can't see that ANY of the modules were compiled with EITHER of these
switches, but there we are. Anyway, the FPPG says that you can get around
this problem by creating an assembly language module which defines
'f68881_used'. I did this, and temacs linked without any other problems.
But MY problems didn't end there, immediately after linking temacs, the
makefile tries to create ../etc/DOC using a program called ../etc/make-docfile
which had been created earlier in the make process. However, it seems that
make-docfile doesn't work. Frankly, I'm too frustrated to hunt down the
problem in the code myself. Here's the bomb:
swatsun# make
.
. [lots and lots of text]
.
rm -f ../etc/DOC
../etc/make-docfile dispnew.o scroll.o xdisp.o window.o term.o cm.o xterm.o

I was wondering if anybody has gotten emacs running under OS 4.0 or can
give me any hints or (preferably) fixes. Thanks a lot.
