[comp.emacs] Emacs on Apollo DN3000

seung%husc4@HARVARD.HARVARD.EDU (08/21/87)

I am trying to bring GNU Emacs 18.47 up on an Apollo DN3000
running 4.2 BSD DOMAIN/IX SR9.5.  The routines server.c,
emacsclient.c, and unexec.c do not compile properly.  At
link time, the routine malloc_init is listed as an undefined
global.  It is my understanding that the Apollo system malloc
call should be used.  Yet given the conditional compilations
in the routines emacs.c, there is still a call to malloc_init.
The result is that xemacs cannot be dumped.  Is there something
wrong with the code, or am I doing something stupid?

I seem to hear about this a lot, so here's a broadcast.  You're not
doing something stupid; the FSF sources are currently inconsistent
and don't build for Apollo machines.  We're trying to work it out.
