[gnu.emacs] Help with gcc on Sun

vail@tegra.UUCP (Johnathan Vail) (03/30/89)

Maybe I will get an inspiration but right now I don't have a clue.

I tried to remake emacs with gcc instead of the Sun compiler.  Simple
enough.   The file sunfns.c barfed on some of the include files.  I
tried compiling that file with cc and then continued the make.  The
version produced would not accept commands (like C-a inserted ^A in
the buffer, function keys were ignored).

Then gratuitous kludging of sunfns got it to compile under gcc but
with the same results.

There must be something really simple I am missing.   Can anyone help?

More info: Sun3's, version 3?? OS, version 18.51 Emacs.

Thanks...

I've had to trouble with 1.34 on 18.53 over 3.5.1 or 4.0.  But then
I'm compiling for X only :-).
