[comp.sys.sgi] SUMMARY: emacs in iris

visti@SAUNA.HUT.FI (Hannu Visti) (12/17/90)

I asked a week ago about compiling emacs in 4d/25 (irix 3.3.1) so that
it understands my .emacs file. My compilation complained "error in init
file".

I got four totally different responses, the one that solved the problem came
from ad@txlad.dirksen.de.

The solution was to add -I/usr/include/sun -I/usr/include/bsd
and -lsun -lbsd to the makefile and use -signed-compiler flag. There may
be something unnecessary, but with all these it seems to work normally.

Thanks to all who responded.

Note that -I/usr/include/sun and -I/usr/include/bsd are 
now obsolete as of the IRIX 3.3 release.
