[comp.unix.sysv386] Emacs

swade@ocf.berkeley.edu (Wade Shen) (10/03/90)

for the last few days ihave been trying to compile EMACS 18.55 on sco
with the SCO development system... Has anyone else tried this?

I know for sure that some files that are needed by emacs seem to be missing in
the development system.  Are files such as <time.h> and <types.h> found in a combined
library (as it is with the dos version of the Microsoft C compiler)?

If anyone has managed to compile it : are there any special steps that need to be take
n before compiling...

Has a public domain version of Emacs been ported to Sysv3.2 /386?
Thanks in advance,

Works kinda right out of the package on ISC 2.0.2 - with or without
Roell's X11R4 (version 1.0).

Yes, the Free Software Foundation's code works directly under SCO Unix.
There are even build instructions.  If you have ~5 megabytes of disk
space, a C compiler, and ftp access, bringing it up is a snap.  Simply
ftp the ~3 Mb compressed tar file from prep.ai.mit.edu to your system
and follow the SCO_README file.  If you don't have C or a lot of disk
space, inquire about the location of a binary image (I think uunet might
be distributing SCO binaries by now; I'm not sure).
