[gnu.emacs] compiling emacs with gcc on an HP

spqr@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Sebastian Rahtz) (02/23/90)

I can, and have, easily compiled emacs 18.55 on an HP 9000
workstation. but now I get ambitious, and want it compiled by Gnu CC.
Can someone tell me what changes to make to do this? unexec.c gets its
knickers in a twist with MAGIC matters, and I don't feel like
monkeying with it.

I assume that dozens of people do/have done what I want, so apologies
for dumb question

PS I know its the wrong list, but I'm damned if I can compile Gnu CC
on the HP to use the Gnu as and ld. I just can't work out the sequence
of events, starting with either HP's cc or non-gas gcc; it *must*
require some edit, or some move of files, at some point, but my wit
has deserted me - so can someone supply a recipe?
