[comp.unix.xenix] GNU Emacs and Xenix 386 v2.2.3

jr@uplherc.UUCP (J.R. Westmoreland) (05/19/88)

I hope I didn't miss something bug could someone tell me the
necessary wizardry to make GNU Emacs of what ever version run under Xenix 386
V2.2.3?  I've read many articles that imply that it is easy but I must be missing something
necessary to make it so.

Thanks for all of the valuable information I find in this forum.

I tried with version 18.50, but had no luck.  However, after receiving
the diffs for version 18.51, I was able to build a working emacs (with
the only problem being that the linker option -lx was missing in one
of the makefiles.

THe only problem I had is that I want to use wyse 50 terminals, and there
was no terminfo file for wy50 in the standard Xenix database (and 18.51
defaulted to building for terminfo).  I changed the build to termcap
curses and rebuilt and all was well.
