I recently pulled a version of Gnu emacs over from the host uunet.uu.net via anonymous FTP in binary mode (using the BGET command in version 3.2 of Wollongong FTP). I then concatenated the files, decompressed using Martin Minow's decompress utility (with mods by Marty Sasaki) and restored the files using a version of VMSTAR. My problem? I can't get the darned thing to compile correctly. I should note that I am running on a uVAX VMS version 4.5 with VAX C version 2.3. Before I get too frustrated I wonder if there is a better way. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. However, please reply directly to me since I am not currently a subscriber to the list.

If you are satisfied with 18.52 GNU Emacs, there is an executable version in the backup file on miriam.utah.edu. My compilations here of 18.52 went relatively trouble free. One problem that people hit is where the .h files are. <sys/types.h> can be found if you have a appropriate logical name SYS defined; the VMS C Programmer's Manual describes it. I don't trust VMS C at all, so I'd turn off all optimization (remember that VMS compilers tend to have /optimize as the default), and turn on symbol and traceback information: cc /nooptimize /debug=(symbols,traceback) ... -------
