Hi, Has any one successfuly compiled either GnuEmacs 18.54 or Gnubash under A/UX 2.0? I am using gcc-1.37.91 with the GnuEmacs 18.54 source from apple.com. I followed the instruction for installation and sadly found that it's missing the file s-aux-2.0.h. If anybody has any helpful hints, do tell. Oh, I almost forgot about "bash." In case, you haven't heard of it, it's a superset of Bourn shell. I want to compile it for A/UX since it has the file completion feature which none of the shell included under A/UX does. Peter Chen

Well, I did a port of bash to AUX if anybody wants the diffs. As a
warning though, I dont claim to know what I am doing in all cases.
It seems to work ok but I really dont use it enough.
If enough people want them, I will go ahead and post em and/or
make them available for ftp.

Well, I've compiled it, but it's hard to call it a success, since the resulting xemacs binary freaks totally (doesn't even redraw the screen when suspended and "fg"ed). I used the s-aux-1.1.h include file. I used gcc-1.37.91 and the GNU Emacs 18.54 source from wuarchive (which I assume is the same one as the one on apple.com...). One doesn't get a working xemacs binary when compiled with cc either. I suspect it's because of the weirdness in the crt*.o files in 2.0 now that they support shared libs. Tonight I plan to pull the A/UX 1.1 crt0.o and libc.a files off my backup tapes and try linking with those, maybe this will work. Anybody succesfully build GNU Emacs 18.54 under A/UX 2.0? How'd you do it? -- Richard Todd rmtodd@chinet.chi.il.us or rmtodd@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu

Sigh. It didn't. So what the heck changed? Can't be too fundamental an incompatibility between A/UX 1.1 crt0.o/libc.a and A/UX 2.0, as all sorts of executables compiled under A/UX 1.1, including Emacs 18.44, still run just fine. Something weird's going on here... > Anybody succesfully build GNU Emacs 18.54 under A/UX 2.0?

I haven't done anything about Emacs yet (it's still buried in the to-do queue). However, my port of bash 1.06 is now ready for release! Bash-1.06 for A/UX is available for anonymous ftp from wuarchive.wustl.edu in the systems/aux/gnu directory. There are three files available: bash-1.06.aux.diffs.Z Patches to make bash-1.06 work with A/UX. bash-1.06.aux.tar.Z Pre-patched bash-1.06 sources. bash-1.06.Z Bash-1.06 for A/UX 2.0 (binary, not tar). The patches for A/UX are fairly minimal and mainly affect job control, signals, and compatibility modes. I've included the bash-Makefile that I used to build bash (bash-Makefile is generated by the main Makefile, but a couple of things needed to be tweaked). --John -------------------------------------------------------------------------- John L.

I got it from someone who claimed it was a real release, but there's no real evidence that it is. Therefore, until it's cleaned up I've changed the names on wuarchive to reflect the probable betaness of the code. That being said, it works fine for me (I'm using it as my login shell). Sorry about this... :-( --John -------------------------------------------------------------------------- John L.

ciao, I am tracking down some floating point information for A/UX 2.0, can anyone confirm or deny these numbers: Number of mantissa bits 23 Exponent size 8 Maximum exponent ((1 << Exponent size) - 2) These were found in /usr/local/include/sys/fp.h. -- mas
