[gnu.emacs] Version 18.49 and SunOS Version 4

jim@cs.strath.ac.uk (Jim Reid) (11/03/88)

Can someone tell me the magic words to get gnuemacs 18.49 to work with
version 4.0 of SunOS? It compiles OK, but temacs dumps core with a
segmentation fault when it runs. Here's what dbx says:
	(dbx) where
	warning: object file read error: text address not found
	warning: core file read error: data space address too high
	warning: core file read error: data space address too high
	etext() at 0xf004814
	(dbx) 

I'm sure someone has already managed to get emacs to go with SunOS4. If
they could share the fix, I'd be obliged. Thanks in advance.

Try linking it with "-Bstatic"...  SunOS 4 by default links programs
dynamically but emacs want to undump itself which can only be
done (I Think) if the executable is statically linked.
