[machine: IRIS4D]
[system: IRIX System V Release 3.2 IPG Version ...]
[problem: GNU Emacs NeWS interface (ps-emacs)]
Hi. I have a request from those who have (if any) installed the
ps-emacs (tut.cis.ohio-state:/pub/gnu/emacs/ps-emacs.tar.Z). I tried
applying the pathces described in the ps-emacs distribution to GNU
emacs 18.55
(tut.cis.ohio-state.edu:/pub/gnu/emacs/18.55/emacs-18.55.tar.Z).
I used m-iris4d.h and s-iris3-6.h as instructed in etc/MACHINES for a
IRIS4D machine. The patches for the ps-emacs worked fine but i had
problem compiling NeWS.c which gave errors to line
if (!updating && outputstarted == 0)
blockinputmask = sigblock (sigmask (SIGIO));
saying that SIGIO was not defined. The include file
/usr/include/sys/signal.h defines SIGIO by
#define SIGIO 23 /* input/output possible signal */
However the file s-iris3-6.h undefines the SIGIO variable saying that
although iris defines SIGIO it does not use it. So I commented that
line which gave me a running emacs with -nw option (do not create a
NeWS window) but which does nothing but wait when run as emacs
(requesting its own NeWS window).
Has anybody else had this kind of problem? Any suggestions? Thanks in
advance.

If all you want is emacs to start up its own window, modify the vinews software in ~4Dgifts/src. We've done this with no problems. P.S. Sorry to be wasting bandwidth but mail bounced twice. -- *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / Jeff Hanson \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / * ViSC: Better * tohanson@gonzo.lerc.nasa.gov * * * * * * / \ / \ Science / \ / \ NASA Lewis Research Center / \ / \ Through / \ / \ * * * * * * * Cleveland, Ohio 44135 * * * Pictures * * \ / \ / \ / \ Telephone - (216) 433-2284 Fax - (216) 433-2182 \ / \ / \ / *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
