I have been trying to build GNU emacs 18.55 on a RS/6000 model 540 running AIX 3.1. I started with the version on prep.ai.mit.edu, and also used the files on byron.u.washington.edu. However, when the linking is tone to product the temacs file, the loader gives the following error messages, which I do not understand. Can anyone provide some help? Thank you in advance.

Following up my own posting: #I have been trying to build GNU emacs 18.55 on a RS/6000 model 540 #running AIX 3.1.

Brian Glendenning at NRAO pointed out that there was not a crt0.o file in the files being linked. The m-aix-3.1.h file from byron.u.washington.edu that I used had a "#define START_FILES" which I changed to "#define START_FILES /lib/crt0.o". I also had to comment out the line of "#define SYSTEM_MALLOC" becasue what seems to be a logig bug in the GNU Makefile, which gave alloca as undefined symbol. By making these two tweaks, I was able to get a running GNU emacs. -- -Greg Hennessy, University of Virginia USPS Mail: Astronomy Department, Charlottesville, VA 22903-2475 USA Internet: gsh7w@virginia.edu UUCP: ...!uunet!virginia!gsh7w

The easy way to get around the loader problem is to change 'ld' to 'cc'... works like a charm. Marc Marc Andreessen___University of Illinois Materials Research Laboratory __________________andreessen@uimrl7.mrl.uiuc.edu______________________

Several people in the past have said basically the same as the above - "I got the files but it doesn't work." The problem is that currently the files there are not complete, YOU MUST READ AND FOLLOW "README-18.55". The proper s- and m- files are in there, as is a (backwards...) patch to Makefile. I will accept part of the blame since 1) I produced the Makfile.diff, and 2) I knew of the situation for a while and didn't get it corrected. I have sent Eliot Lim at Washington a replacement 'shar' file which he will put up as individual files or as a shar file, but is complete and not confusing. I have built GNU Emacs from this and a fresh 18.55 distribution. (That's how I found out the Makefile patch was wrong.) The new files should be available in a few days, when the system administrator for byron gets back to town. Note that there are no code changes to these files; if you have Emacs running you don't need them. If you are having troubles, get the README-18.55 and follow it. This is not meant to be a personal flame - I don't always read the READMEs carefully either. For some good news, I have working unexaix.c, revised by someone who will remain nameless until he is satisfied with its quality. When he is done, it will be made available, and his name published, so that the thanks may be directed to the gentleman who put in a lot of work to make our RS/6000s run a bit faster. However, don't ask for it yet, wait a few more days. If IBM can preannounce things, why can't we? Now, has anyone done the work on X-Windows?
