[comp.sys.sgi] GNU emacs 18.55

zsd@PIG.DREA.DND.CA (Jim Diamond) (12/12/89)

Has anyone had any luck installing version 18.55 of gnu emacs
on a 3130?  With almost no problems I was able to compile and
lint it, but upon trying to execute it I am rewarded with a
core dump.

Any hints would be appreciated.

P.S.  I used s-iris3-6.h and m-sgi3000.h in config.h.

We tried to install GNU emacs v 18.55 on our 380.  I don't know what
went wrong, but the make went wild and just about took all available
memory, and an unhealthy number of processes, only to result in an
error:


#make all &
[1] 18578
#       cd etc; make  all
        cd src; make  all
        make    -f  xmakefile  all
        ./temacs -batch -l inc-vers
*** Termination code 139


Stop.
*** Error code 1


And here we are.   Has anyone succeeeded in doing this?  Can I see the .h
and Makefile you used?  Or has anyone seen an up-to-date version of emacs
that is a bit simpler to install?  Please?

Never test for an error condition you don't know how to handle.
