I've installed emacs 18.55 on our Mips machines (M/120's and RC2030's). It seems to work okay, but... Some of the config options I'm using don't make sense to me, and there are some options I'm just plain unsure of. I guess my first question would be, should I compile with the SysV or Bsd43 environment? I've used SysV because I'm more familiar with SysV. Real unknowns are, do I need to (or should I) define NO_REMAP VIRT_ADDR_VARIES HAVE_TIMEVAL IRIS What about the dir(3) library stuff? I can have either NONSYTEM_DIR_LIBRARY emacs will emulate 4.2 opendir() et al. or SYSV_SYSTEM_DIR I like this one. Defining SYSV_PTYS causes trouble (the compile fails, I don't remember the symptom) so I've undef'd it, is this correct? Are SIGIO and FIONREAD really broken as m-mips.h suggests? Can I (should I) use them? m-mips.h also undefs static. Yet s-usg5-3.h suggests that static is really not a good thing. What do you think? -larry
