I've decided (after seeing your follow up message) to reply to you with a posting because I can't reply to your mail directly. It keeps bouncing back to me. I seem to be getting a lot of this problem lately. :-( The system that is supposed to send the mail out is very new and I think somewhat lacking in addressing facilities. Sorry about that. I installed version 18.51 of GNU Emacs on an HP 9000 series 350 (ie. the microprocessor is a 68020 with 68881). The problems I had where: 1) ld: undefined external - _index This occured when the makefile in the 'etc' directory got to the 'env' line. I fixed this by adding '-lBSD' at the end of the makefile line that handles the compilation of 'env'. 2) ld: undefined external - flag_68010 This happened when the makefile in the src directory got to linking temacs. This was corrected by using a new version of the program crt0.c (in the src directory) provided by a friendly user on the net. I had modified the config.h and paths.h file (in the src directory) according to the instructions given in the file INSTALL and in the etc/MACHINES file. config.h for instance specified s-hpux.h and m-hp9000s300.h as the headers to use. That's all I remember doing. After setting these files up, I just ran the build-install program (after making sure the paths where set properly in this shell script and in Makefile). GNU then proceeded smoothly. Well, I don't know if this is going to help you at all. Hope it does.

I have 18.52 running on our diskless cluster under HP-UX 6.2 and it works fine. About five or six of us have been using it every day for about a month or two. I can send you my config.h file, although it's nothing special. I defined HAVE_X_WINDOWS, X11, and HPUX_NET; left out HAVE_X_MENU because it's for an earlier release of X11; and added -lX to LIBX11_SYSTEM. Send me mail if you want it. Or post if you can't reach me. (I guess I'll post if I can't reach you, assuming the mailers send me back a notice that something broke along the way.) bob desinger bd@sde.HP.COM bd%hp-sde@hplabs.HP.COM hplabs!hp-sde!bd uunet!hpda!bd

I can send you my config.h We had the same problem, but we were running the Early Bird version of 6.2. When we installed the OS from scratch from the official release and recompiled it fixed the problem. Apparently HP has been shipping some 6.2 stuff with broken C compilers...go back to the old 6.0 compiler, or get a working one from your SE. >bob desinger >bd@sde.HP.COM bd%hp-sde@hplabs.HP.COM hplabs!hp-sde!bd uunet!hpda!bd
