Our first stab failed. Before we go any farther, if anybody has successfully
built version 18.52 of GNU emacs on a DS3100 (Ultrix Worksystem V2.0), please
email me which config files and mods you used.

You should get a copy of GNU Emacs v18.55, which has support for the DECstations in it. More to the point, DEC should ship GNU Emacs v18.55 on their unsupported software tape, rather than earlier versions. Not fixed in Ultrix 4.0, i.e. the subset UDXEDIT400 on the tape AQ-MM12B-BE 00MUB8495A, "Ultrix/UWS V4.0 (RISC) UNSUPPORTED SUBSETS" Copyright 1990 Digital Equipment Corporation) is ./usr/new/gnuemacs.18.51.tar.Z. Unsupported should not mean not working. --Ed Edward Vielmetti, U of Michigan math dept <emv@math.lsa.umich.edu> comp.archives moderator

This mail message was forwarded to me this summer from someone who got it from the new network. I successfully installed the latest version of GNUemacs on a DECstation 3100 (ultrix) with the following information. >From mentor.cc.purdue.edu!noose.ecn.purdue.edu!samsung!cs.utexas.edu!rutgers!shelby!connie@psych.Stanford.EDU Sun May 13 11:04:01 EST 1990 Article 2625 of comp.sys.dec: Path: mace.cc.purdue.edu!mentor.cc.purdue.edu!noose.ecn.purdue.edu!samsung!cs.utexas.edu!rutgers!shelby!connie@psych.Stanford.EDU >From: connie@psych.Stanford.EDU (Constance Stillinger) Newsgroups: comp.sys.dec,gnu.emacs Subject: compiling emacs 18-55 on ds3100 not a problem after all. Message-ID: <1124@psych.stanford.edu> Date: 12 May 90 21:41:50 GMT Sender: connie@psych.Stanford.EDU (Constance Stillinger) Reply-To: connie@psych.Stanford.EDU (Constance Stillinger) Organization: Stanford University Lines: 11 Xref: mace.cc.purdue.edu comp.sys.dec:2625 gnu.emacs:3021 It turned out that I had merely specified the wrong configuration files. For anyone else out there who's interested -- when you're instructed to include the right "m-" and "s-" files in config.h, that means m-pmax.h and s-bsd4-2.h to those of use using ds3100's. 18.55 corrected some of the problems I was having with an earlier version. The popup "filecard" menus are really neat, too. Constance Stillinger connie@psych.stanford.edu (Now ass't prof. at Northwestern Univ.) -------
