[gnu-emacs] / etc / MACHINES
1 This is a list of the status of GNU Emacs on various machines and systems.
2 Last updated 10 Feb 1992.
3
4 For each system and machine, we give the `-opsystem' and `-machine'
5 options you should pass to configure to prepare to build Emacs for
6 that system/machine.
7
8 These options tell Emacs which machine- and system-descriptive files
9 to include. For each `-machine=MACHNAME' option, there exists a file
10 `src/m/MACHNAME.h', and for each `-opsystem=OSNAME' option, there
11 exists a file `src/s/OSNAME.h'.
12
13 Systems:
14
15 Berkeley 4.1 (-opsystem=bsd4-1)
16
17 Works on vaxes.
18
19 Berkeley 4.2 (-opsystem=bsd4-2)
20
21 Works on several machines.
22
23 Berkeley 4.3 (-opsystem=bsd4-3)
24
25 Works, on Vaxes at least.
26
27 Microport
28
29 See under "Intel 386".
30
31 System V rel 0 (-opsystem=usg5-0)
32
33 Works, on Vaxes and 3bxxx's.
34 There are some problems in 18.37 due to shortnames/cccp problems:
35 use the emacs 17 cpp if you have it.
36
37 System V rel 2 (-opsystem=usg5-2)
38
39 Works on various machines.
40 On some (maybe all) machines the library -lPW exists and contains
41 a version of `alloca'. On these machines, to use it, put
42 #define HAVE_ALLOCA
43 #define LIB_STANDARD -lPW -lc
44 in the src/m/MACHINENAME.h file for the machine.
45
46 If you find that the character Meta-DEL makes Emacs crash,
47 find where function init_sys_modes in sysdep.c sets sg.c_cc[VQUIT]
48 and make it store 7 there. I have as yet no evidence of whether
49 this problem, known in HP-UX, exists in other system V versions.
50
51 System V rel 2.2 (-opsystem=usg5-2-2)
52
53 In 5.2.2 AT&T undid, incompatibly, their previous incompatible
54 change to the way the nlist library is called. A different s- file
55 is used to enable the other interface.
56
57 They call themselves the right choice--can't they choose?
58
59 Emacs version 18 unexec is currently not working properly
60 on 5.2.2. Nobody knows why yet. A workaround is to define
61 NO_REMAP. It is not yet known whether this applies to all
62 machines running 5.2.2.
63
64 System V rel 3 (-opsystem=usg5-3)
65
66 Some versions of this system support ptys and BSD-style sockets.
67 On such systems, you should define HAVE_PTYS and HAVE_SOCKETS in config.h.
68
69 If you want to link Emacs with shared libraries, define
70 USG_SHARED_LIBRARIES.
71
72 System V rel 4 (-opsystem=usg5-4)
73
74 Supported, including shared libraries for ELF, but ptys do not
75 work because TIOCGPGRP fails to work on ptys.
76 This failure is probably due to a misunderstanding of the
77 consequences of the POSIX spec: many system designers mistakenly
78 think that POSIX requires this feature to fail. This is untrue;
79 ptys are an extension, and POSIX says that extensions *when used*
80 may change the action of standard facilities in any fashion.
81
82 The standard C preprocessor generate xmakefile incorrectly. However,
83 /lib/cpp will work, so use `make CPP=/lib/cpp'.
84
85 Versions 3 and earlier of V.4, on the Intel 386 and 860, had
86 problems in the X11 libraries. These prevent Emacs from working
87 with X. You can use Emacs with X provided your copy of X is based
88 on X11 release 4 or newer. Unfortunately, the only way you can tell
89 whether your X11 library is new enough is to try compiling Emacs to
90 use X. If xemacs runs, your X11 library is new enough.
91
92 In this context, GSV4 and GSV4i are alternate names for X11R4.
93 OL2.* is X11R3 based. OL3 is in between X11R3 and X11R4, and may or
94 may not work, depending on who made the Unix system. If the library
95 libXol is part of the X distribution, then you have X11R3 and Emacs
96 won't work with X.
97
98 Most versions of V.4 support sockets. If `/usr/lib/libsocket.so'
99 exists, your system supports them. If yours does not, you must add
100 #undef HAVE_SOCKETS in config.h, after the inclusion of s-usg5-4.h.
101 (Any system that supports Internet should implement sockets.)
102
103 Ultrix (-opsystem=bsd4-2)
104
105 Recent versions of Ultrix appear to support the features of Berkeley 4.3.
106 Ultrix was at the BSD 4.2 level for a long time after BSD 4.3 came out.
107
108 Ultrix 3.0 has incompatibilities in its X library if you have the
109 Ultrix version of X (UWS version 2.0). To solve them, you need to
110 prevent XvmsAlloc.o in Xlib from being used. Israel Pinkas says:
111
112 I added the following lines to config.h after the X defines:
113
114 #if defined(ultrix) && defined(X11)
115 #define OBJECTS_SYSTEM calloc.o
116 #endif
117
118 Then I ran the following:
119
120 ar x /usr/lib/libc.a calloc.o
121
122 The problem is said to be gone in UWS version 2.1.
123
124 Uniplus 5.2 (-opsystem=unipl5-2)
125
126 Works, on Dual machines at least.
127
128 VMS (-opsystem=vms)
129
130 Works except for certain features (directory listing, dired,
131 sending and receiving mail) that use synchronous subprocesses.
132 We need people to write alternative implementations of these
133 facilities.
134
135 Note that Emacs for VMS is usually distributed in a special
136 VMS distribution. See the file ../VMSINSTALL for info on moving
137 Unix distributions to VMS, and other VMS-related topics.
138
139 Xenix
140
141 Should work in 18.50, but you will need to edit the files
142 lib-src/Makefile and src/ymakefile
143 (see the comments that mention "Xenix" for what to change.)
144 Compiling Emacs with -O is said not to work.
145
146 If you want Emacs to work with Smail (installed as /usr/bin/smail)
147 then add the line #define SMAIL to config.h.
148
149 The file etc/XENIX suggests some useful things to do to Xenix
150 to make the Emacs meta key work.
151 \f
152 Machines:
153
154 Alliant (-machine=alliant4, -machine=alliant or -machine=alliant1;
155 -opsystem=bsd4-2)
156
157 18.52 works on system version 4. Previous Emacs versions were
158 known to work on previous system versions.
159
160 Use -machine=alliant1 on version 1 of their operating system
161 and use -machine=alliant on version 2 or 3.
162 Use -machine=alliant4 on version 4.
163
164 Alliant FX/2800 (-machine=alliant-2800; -opsystem=bsd4-3)
165
166 Known to work with 18.58 and OS version 2.2, compiler version 1.3.
167
168 Altos 3068 (-machine=altos; -opsystem=usg5-2)
169
170 18.52 is said to work, provided you don't compile unexec.c with -O.
171
172 Amdahl UTS (-machine=amdahl; -opsystem=usg5-2-2)
173
174 Small changes for 18.38 were merged in 18.39. It is mostly
175 working, but at last report a bug sometimes causes Emacs to
176 grab very large amounts of memory. No fix or explanation
177 has yet been reported. It may be possible to find this bug
178 if you find which Emacs command it happens within and then
179 run that command with a breakpoint set at malloc.
180
181 The 5.2u370 compiler is so brain damaged that it is not
182 even worth trying to use it. Success was obtained with the
183 uts native C compiler on uts version 5.2.5.
184
185 Apollo running Domain (-machine=apollo; -opsystem=bsd4-2)
186
187 18.52 works, to some extent.
188 Code for dumping Emacs has been written, but we cannot
189 distribute it yet.
190 There are reports of bugs in cc -O on this system.
191
192 In lib-src/Makefile, don't expect emacsclient and emacsserver to
193 compile. You might want to remove them from your makefile.
194
195 Supposedly something in dired.c runs into a compiler bug.
196 Paraphrasing the statement should avoid the problem. I have not yet
197 received word as to the exact statement this is.
198
199 AT&T 3b2, 3b5, 3b15, 3b20 (-machine=att3b; -opsystem=usg5-2-2)
200
201 Emacs will probably not work with certain kernel constants too small.
202
203 In param.h CDLIMIT should be at least (1L << 12) in order to allow
204 processes to write up to 2 Mbyte files. If it's too small,
205 you can perhaps fix it using the file `ulimit.hack' in this directory.
206
207 Note that for V.3.1 and later releases, this parameter is configurable
208 by normal means in /etc/master.d/kernel; examine that file for the
209 symbol CDLIMIT or ULIMIT, and raise it by several powers of 2. Then
210 do normal kernel rebuild things via "cd /boot; mkboot -k KERNEL" and so
211 forth. Do not use ulimit.hack if you have V.3.1 or later.
212
213 In seg.h NSEGP and STACKSEG should be at least 16 and 4 respectively
214 to allow processes with total size of up to 2Mbytes.
215 However, I'm told it is unlikely this would fail to be true.
216
217 The MAXMEM may also prevent Emacs from running. The file
218 3B-MAXMEM in this directory explains how to increase MAXMEM.
219
220 AT&T 7300 or 3b1 (-machine=7300; -opsystem=usg5-2-2)
221
222 18.52 seems to work. If you have strange troubles with dumping
223 Emacs, delete the last few lines from -machine=7300 and recompile.
224 These lines are supposed to produce a sharable executable.
225
226 -machine=7300 defines SHORTNAMES because operating system versions
227 older than 3.5 did not support long symbol names. Version 3.5 does
228 support them, so you can remove the #define SHORTNAMES in that
229 version.
230
231 Bull sps7 (-machine=sps7; -opsystem=usg5-2)
232
233 Changes partially merged in version 19, but some fixes are probably required.
234
235 CCI 5/32, 6/32
236
237 See "Tahoe".
238
239 Celerity (-machine=celerity; -opsystem=bsd4-2)
240
241 Version 18.49 works.
242
243 Clipper (-machine=clipper; ???)
244
245 Version 19 has support for some brand of clipper system.
246 Note that the Orion 105 is also a clipper, but some system-related
247 parameters are different.
248
249 Convex (-machine=convex; -opsystem=bsd4-3)
250
251 18.53 is supposed to work.
252
253 Cubix QBx/386 (-machine=intel386; -opsystem=usg5-3)
254
255 Changes merged in 19.1. Systems before 2/A/0 may fail to compile etags.c
256 due to a compiler bug.
257
258 Cydra 5 (-machine=cydra5; -opsystem=usg5-3)
259
260 18.51 worked in one version of their operating system but stopped
261 working in a newer version. This has not been fixed.
262
263 DECstation (-machine=pmax; -opsystem=bsd4-3 or -opsystem=osf1)
264
265 OSF1 support merged in 18.59.
266
267 See under Ultrix for problems using X windows on Ultrix.
268 Note that this is a MIPS machine.
269 -opsystem=bsd4-3 is said to work ok with Ultrix 4.1.
270
271 For Ultrix versions prior to 4.0, you may need to delete
272 the definition of START_FILES from src/m/pmax.h.
273
274 Motorola Delta 147 (-machine=delta; -opsystem=usg5-3)
275
276 Motorola Delta boxes running System V/68 release 3.
277 (tested on sys1147 with SVR3V5). Changes merged in 19.1.
278
279 Motorola Delta 187 (-machine=delta88k; -opsystem=usg5-3)
280
281 Machine support added in version 19.
282 HAVE_X_MENU does not work due to lack of insque.
283
284 Dual running System V (-machine=dual; -opsystem=usg5-2)
285
286 As of 17.46, this works except for a few changes
287 needed in unexec.c.
288
289 Dual running Uniplus (-machine=dual; -opsystem=unipl5-2)
290
291 Works, as of 17.51.
292
293 Elxsi 6400 (-machine=elxsi; -opsystem=usg5-2)
294
295 Changes for 12.0 release are in 19.1.
296 Dumping should work now.
297
298 Encore machine (-machine=ns16000; -opsystem=umax)
299
300 This machine bizarrely uses 4.2BSD modified to use the COFF format
301 for object files. Works (as of 18.40). For the APC processor you
302 must enable two lines at the end of src/s/umax.h, which are commented
303 out in the file as distributed.
304
305 WARNING: If you compile Emacs with the "-O" compiler switch, you
306 must also use the "-q enter_exits" switch so that all functions have
307 stack frames. Otherwise routines that call `alloca' all lose.
308
309 A kernel bug in some system versions causes input characters to be lost
310 occasionally.
311
312 GEC 93 (-machine=gec93; -opsystem=usg5-2?)
313
314 Changes are partially merged in version 18, but
315 certainly require more work.
316
317 Gould Power Node (-machine=gould; -opsystem=bsd4-2 or -opsystem=bsd4-3)
318
319 18.36 worked on versions 1.2 and 2.0 of the operating system.
320
321 On UTX/32 2.0, use -opsystem=bsd4-3.
322
323 On UTX/32 1.2 and UTX/32S 1.0, use -opsystem=bsd4-2 and note that
324 compiling lib-src/sorted-doc tickles a compiler bug: remove the -g
325 flag to cc in the makefile.
326
327 UTX/32 1.3 has a bug in the bcopy library routine. Fix it by
328 #undef BSTRING in -machine=gould.
329
330 Version 19 incorporates support for releases 2.1 and later of UTX/32.
331 A site running a pre-release of 2.1 should #define RELEASE2_1 in config.h.
332
333 Gould NP1 (-machine=gould-np1; -opsystem=bsd4-3)
334
335 Version 19 supposedly works.
336
337 Honeywell XPS100 (-machine=xps100; -opsystem=usg5-2)
338
339 Config file added in version 19.
340
341 HP 9000 series 200 or 300 (-machine=hp9000s300;
342 -opsystem=hpux or -opsystem=bsd4-3)
343
344 Version 18 works.
345 These machines are 68000-series CPUs running HP-UX
346 (a derivative of sysV with some BSD features) or BSD 4.3 ported by Utah.
347 The choice of s- file determines which system Emacs is built for.
348
349 Series 200 HPUX runs Emacs only if it has the "HP-UX upgrade".
350
351 If you are running HP-UX release 8.0 or later, you need the optional
352 "C/ANSI C" software in order to build Emacs (older releases of HP-UX
353 do not require any special software). If the file "/etc/filesets/C"
354 exists on your machine, you have this software, otherwise you do not.
355
356 Note that HP has used two incompatible assembler syntaxes,
357 and has recently changed the format of C function frames.
358 src/crt0.c and src/alloca.s have been conditionalised for the new
359 assembler and new function-entry sequence. You may need to define
360 OLD_HP_ASSEMBLER if you are using an older hpux version. If you
361 have an official (bought from HP) series 300 machine you have
362 the new assembler. Kernels that are 5.+ or later have new
363 assembler. A Series 200 that has been upgraded to a 68010
364 processor and a 5.+ kernel has the new compiler.
365
366 Define C_SWITCH_MACHINE to be +X to make a version of Emacs that
367 runs on both 68010 and 68020 based hp-ux's.
368
369 Define HPUX_68010 if you are using the new assembler, for
370 a system that has a 68010 without a 68881. This is to say,
371 a s200 (upgraded) or s310.
372
373 Define the symbol HPUX_NET if you have the optional network features
374 that include the `netunam' system call. This is refered to as
375 Network Services (NS/9000) in HP literature.
376
377 HP 9000 series 300 running BSD 4.3 (-machine=hp300bsd; -opsystem=bsd4-3)
378
379 Version 19.1 works.
380
381 HP 9000 series 500: not supported.
382
383 The series 500 has a seriously incompatible memory architecture
384 which relocates data in memory during execution of a program,
385 and support for it would be difficult to implement.
386
387 HP 9000 series 800 (Spectrum) (-machine=hp9000s800; -opsystem=hpux)
388
389 These files support HP's Precision Architecture machines
390 running HP-UX. It has been moderately tested on the Series
391 840.
392
393 If you are running HP-UX release 8.0 or later, you need the optional
394 "C/ANSI C" software in order to build Emacs (older releases of HP-UX
395 do not require any special software). If the file "/etc/filesets/C"
396 exists on your machine, you have this software, otherwise you do not.
397
398 High Level Hardware Orion (-machine=orion; -opsystem=bsd4-2)
399
400 This is the original microprogrammed hardware.
401 Machine description file ought to work.
402
403 High Level Hardware Orion 1/05 (-machine=orion105; -opsystem=bsd4-2)
404
405 Changes merged in 18.52. This is the one with the Clipper cpu.
406 Note that systems which lack NFS need LOAD_AVE_TYPE changed to `double'.
407
408 C compiler has a bug; it loops compiling eval.c.
409 Compile it by hand without optimization.
410
411 IBM PS/2 (-machine=ibmps2-aix; -opsystem=usg5-2-2 or -opsystem=usg5-3)
412
413 Changes merged in version 19. You may need to copy
414 /usr/lib/samples/hft/hftctl.c to the Emacs src directory.
415
416 Use -opsystem=usg5-3 on AIX 1.2.
417 -opsystem=usg5-2-2 should work on either AIX 1.1 or 1.2, but may not
418 work with certain new X window managers, and may be suboptimal.
419
420 IBM RS/6000 (-machine=ibmrs6000; -opsystem=aix3-1)
421
422 Changes merged in version 19. Currently the configuration
423 does not actually depend on the version of AIX.
424
425 Compiling with -O using the IBM compiler has been known
426 to make Emacs work incorrectly.
427
428 IBM RT/PC (-machine=ibmrt or -machine=ibmrt-aix;
429 -opsystem=bsd4-2 or -opsystem=usg5-2-2)
430
431 18.52 works on both operating systems.
432 Use -opsystem=bsd4-2 for the 4.2-like system and -opsystem=usg5-2-2
433 for AIX.
434
435 On BSD, if you have trouble, try compiling with a different compiler.
436
437 On AIX, the file /usr/lib/samples/hft/hftctl.c must be compiled into
438 hftctl.o, with this result left in the src directory (hftctl.c is
439 part of the standard AIX distribution).
440
441 window.c must not be compiled with -O on AIX.
442
443 Integrated Solutions `Optimum V' (-machine=isi-ov;
444 -opsystem=bsd4-2 or -opsystem=bsd4-3)
445
446 18.52 said to work on some sort of ISI machine.
447 Version 18.45 worked (running on a Optimum V (VME bus, 68020)
448 BSD 4.2 (3.05e) system). 18.42 is reported to work on
449 a Qbus 68010 system. Has not been tried on `WorkStation' `Cluster
450 Compute Node' `Cluster WorkStation' or `Server Node' (Love the
451 StudLYCaps)
452
453 Compilation with -O is rumored to break something.
454
455 On recent system versions, you may need to undefine the macro UMAX
456 in lib-src/loadst.c and src/getpagesize.h. They stupidly defined this
457 in a system header file, which confuses Emacs (which thinks that UMAX
458 indicates the Umax operating system).
459
460 Intel 386 (-machine=intel386 or -machine=is386;
461 -opsystem=bsd4-2, usg5-2-2, usg5-3, isc2-2, 386-ix,
462 esix, or xenix)
463
464 18.58 should support a wide variety of operating systems.
465 Use -opsystem=isc2-2 for Interactive 386/ix version 2.2.
466 Use -opsystem=386ix for prior versions.
467 Use -opsystem=esix for Esix.
468 It isn't clear what to do on an SCO system. The system's C
469 preprocessor doesn't seem to handle the src subdirectory's Make
470 trickery, so you will probably need to install the GNU C preprocessor.
471
472 If you are using Xenix, see notes above under Xenix.
473
474 Some sysV.3 systems seem to have bugs in `opendir';
475 for them, alter `config.h' to define NONSYSTEM_DIR_LIBRARY
476 and undefine SYSV_SYSTEM_DIR.
477
478 If you use optimization on V.3, you may need the option -W2,'-y 0'
479 to prevent certain faulty optimization.
480
481 On 386/ix, to link with shared libraries, add #define USG_SHARED_LIBRARIES
482 to config.h.
483
484 There is no consistency in the handling of certain system header files
485 on V.3.
486
487 Some versions have sys/sioctl.h, and require it in sysdep.c.
488 But some versions do not have sys/sioctl.h.
489 For a given version of the system, this may depend on whether you have
490 X Windows or TCP/IP. Define or undefine NO_SIOCTL_H in config.h
491 according to whether you have the file.
492
493 Likewise, some versions have been known to need sys/ttold.h, sys/stream.h,
494 and sys/ptem.h included in sysdep.c. If your system has these files,
495 try defining NEED_PTEM_H in config.h if you have trouble without it.
496
497 You may find that adding -I/usr/X/include or -I/usr/netinclude or both
498 to CFLAGS avoids compilation errors on certain systems.
499
500 Some versions convince sysdep.c to try to use `struct tchars'
501 but define `struct tc' instead; add `#define tchars tc'
502 to config.h to solve this problem.
503
504 The file -machine=is386 is used for an Integrated Solutions 386 machine.
505 It may also be correct for Microport systems.
506
507 Iris 2500 (-machine=irist; -opsystem=iris3-5 or -opsystem=iris3-6)
508
509 Version 18 said to work; use -opsystem=irist3-5 for system version 2.5
510 and -opsystem=iris3-6 for system version 3.6.
511
512 Iris 2500 Turbo (-machine=irist; -opsystem=iris3-5 or -opsystem=iris3-6)
513
514 18.49 works. Use -opsystem=iris3-6 for system versions 3.6 and up.
515 Note that the 3030 is the same machine as this.
516
517 Iris 4D (-machine=iris4d; -opsystem=irix3-3)
518
519 18.56 is known to work on 4D series machines with Irix 3.3 or later.
520
521 If you use the X menu facility, you must edit oldXmenu/Makefile
522 to add the line
523
524 RANLIB=true
525
526 Someone said that with the yellow pages you must change two definitions
527 in -machine=iris4d as follows:
528
529 #define LIBS_MACHINE -lsun -lbsd -lPW -lmld
530 #define C_SWITCH_MACHINE -I/usr/include/sun -I/usr/include/bsd
531
532 jg@bambi.esd.sgi.com says this isn't true anymore,
533 but the info might as well be here just in case.

535 Macintosh
536
537 We are boycotting Apple because of Apple's efforts to take away
538 our freedom to write compatible imitations of existing software.
539 If you value your freedom to write such programs, we urge you
540 not to buy from Apple, not to develop software for Apple, and
541 certainly not to accept a job with Apple.
542
543 See the file APPLE in this directory for more information.
544
545 Masscomp (-machine=masscomp; -opsystem=rtu)
546
547 18.36 worked on a 5500DP running RTU v3.1a and compiler version 3.2
548 with minor fixes that are included in 18.37. However, bizarre behavior
549 was reported for 18.36 on a Masscomp (model and version unknown but probably
550 a 68020 system). The report sounds like a compiler bug.
551
552 A compiler bug affecting statements like
553 unsigned char k; unsigned char *p;... x = p[k];
554 has been reported for "C version 1.2 under RTU 3.1". We do not wish
555 to take the time to install the numerous workarounds required to
556 compensate for this bug; go complain to Masscomp.
557
558 For RTU version 3.1, define FIRST_PTY_LETTER to be 'p' in src/s/rtu.h
559 (or #undef and redefine it in config.h) so that ptys will be used.
560
561 GNU Emacs is said to have no chance of compiling on RTU versions
562 prior to v3.0.
563
564 Megatest (-machine=mega68; -opsystem=bsd4-2)
565
566 Emacs 15 worked; do not have any reports about Emacs 16 or 17
567 but any new bugs are probably not difficult.
568
569 Mips (-machine=mips or -machine=mips4; -opsystem=usg5-2-2, -opsystem=bsd4-3)
570
571 Changes merged in 18.39. Some fixes in 18.56.
572
573 Use -machine=mips4 for RISCOS version 4; use -opsystem=bsd4-3 with
574 the BSD world.
575
576 Note that the proper -machine option for the Decstation is `-machine=pmax'.
577
578 If you are compiling with GCC, then you must run fixincludes;
579 the alternative of using -traditional won't work because
580 the definition of SIGN_EXTEND_CHAR uses the keyword `signed'.
581
582 If the SYSV world is the default, then you probably need the following
583 line in etc/Makefile:
584
585 CFLAGS= -g -systype bsd43
586
587 Some operating systems on MIPS machines give SIGTRAP for division by
588 zero instead of the usual signals. The only real solution is to fix
589 the system to give a proper signal.
590
591 In the meantime, you can change init_data in data.c if you wish.
592 Change it to handle SIGTRAP as well as SIGFPE. But this will have a
593 great disadvantage: you will not be able to run Emacs under a
594 debugger. I think crashing on division by zero is a lesser problem.
595
596 Motorola Delta (-machine=delta; -opsystem=usg5-3)
597
598 Machine support added in version 18.56.
599
600 National Semiconductor 32000 (-machine=ns32000; -opsystem=usg5-2)
601
602 This is for a complete machine from National Semiconductor,
603 running Genix. Changes merged in version 19.
604
605 NCR Tower 32 running System V release 2 (-machine=tower32; -opsystem=usg5-2-2)
606
607 Works as of 17.56. If you change src/ymakefile so that CFLAGS includes
608 C_OPTIMIZE_SWITCH rather than C_DEBUG_SWITCH, check out the comments
609 in src/m/tower32.h about this.
610
611 There is a report that compilation with -O did not work with 18.54.
612
613 NCR Tower 32 running System V release 3 (-machine=tower32v3; -opsystem=usg5-3)
614
615 Works as of 18.56. If you change src/ymakefile so that CFLAGS includes
616 C_OPTIMIZE_SWITCH rather than C_DEBUG_SWITCH, and do not use gcc, check
617 out the comments in src/m/tower32v3.h about this.
618
619 Nixdorf Targon 31 (-machine=targon31; -opsystem=usg5-2-2)
620
621 Machine description file for version 17 is included in 18
622 but whether it works is not known.
623 src/unexec.c bombs if compiled with -O.
624 Note that the "Targon 35" is really a Pyramid.
625
626 Nu (TI or LMI) (-machine=nu; -opsystem=usg5-2)
627
628 Version 18 is believed to work.
629
630 Plexus (-machine=plexus; -opsystem=usg5-2)
631
632 Works as of 17.56.
633
634 Pmax (DEC Mips) (-machine=pmax; -opsystem=bsd4-2)
635
636 See under DECstation, above.
637
638 Prime EXL (-machine=intel386; -opsystem=usg5-3)
639
640 Minor changes merged in 19.1.
641
642 Pyramid (-machine=pyramid; -opsystem=bsd4-2)
643
644 You need to build Emacs in the Berkeley universe with
645 the `ucb' command, as in `ucb make' or `ucb build-install'.
646
647 In OSx 4.0, it seems necessary to add the following two lines
648 to src/m/pyramid.h:
649 #define _longjmp longjmp
650 #define _setjmp setjmp
651
652 In Pyramid system 2.5 there has been a compiler bug making
653 Emacs crash just after screen-splitting with Qnil containing 0.
654 A compiler that fixes this is Pyramid customer number 8494,
655 internal number 1923.
656
657 Some versions of the pyramid compiler get fatal
658 errors when the -gx compiler switch is used; if this
659 happens to you, change src/m/pyramid.h to define
660 C_DEBUG_SWITCH with an empty definition.
661
662 Some old system versions may require you to define PYRAMID_OLD
663 in when alloca.s is preprocessed, in order to define _longjmp and _setjmp.
664
665 Sequent Balance (-machine=sequent;
666 -opsystem=bsd4-2, or -opsystem=bsd4-3 on newer systems)
667
668 Emacs 18.51 should work on system version 3.0. 18.52 is said to work.
669 Delete some lines at the end of src/m/sequent.h for earlier system
670 versions.
671
672 Sequent Symmetry (-machine=symmetry; -opsystem=bsd4-3)
673
674 Emacs 19 should work.
675
676 SONY News (-machine=news;
677 -opsystem=bsd4-2, or -opsystem=bsd4-3 for system release 3)
678
679 18.52 should work.
680
681 SONY News 3000 series (RISC NEWS) (-machine=news-risc; -opsystem=bsd4-3)
682
683 Works, as of 18.56. Note that this is a MIPS architecture machine.
684
685 Some versions of the operating system give SIGTRAP for division by zero
686 instead of the usual signals. This causes division by zero
687 to make Emacs crash. The system should be fixed to give the proper signal.
688 Changing Emacs is not a proper solution, because it would prevent
689 Emacs from working under any debugger. But you can change init_data
690 in data.c if you wish.
691
692 Stardent 1500 or 3000
693
694 See Titan.
695
696 Stride (-machine=stride; -opsystem=usg5-2)
697
698 Works (most recent news for 18.30) on their release 2.0.
699 For release 2.2, see the end of src/m/stride.h.
700 It may be possible to run on their V.1 system but changes
701 in the s- file would be needed.
702
703 Sun 1, 2 and 3 (-machine=sun1, -machine=sun2, -machine=sun3;
704 -opsystem=bsd4-2, sunos4-0, or sunos4-1)
705
706 There are three machine files for different versions of SunOS.
707 All are derived from Berkeley 4.2. Emacs 17 has run on all of them.
708 Whether you should use -machine=sun1, -machine=sun2 or -machine=sun3
709 depends on the VERSION OF THE OPERATING SYSTEM you have.
710 You will need to use -machine=sun3 on Sun 2's running SunOS release 3.
711
712 For SunOS release 4 on a Sun 3, use -machine=sun3 and
713 -opsystem=sunos4-0 or -opsystem=sunos4-1.
714 See the file etc/SUNBUG for how to solve problems caused by
715 bugs in the "export" version of SunOS 4.
716
717 If you have trouble using open-network-stream, get the
718 distribution of `bind' (the BSD name-server), build libresolv.a,
719 and link Emacs with -lresolv. This problem is due to obsolete
720 software in the nonshared standard library.
721
722 If you want to use SunWindows, define HAVE_SUN_WINDOWS
723 in config.h to enable a special interface called `emacstool'.
724 The definition must *precede* the #include "machine.h".
725 System version 3.2 is required for this facility to work.
726
727 We recommend that you instead use the X window system, which
728 has technical advantages, is an industry standard, and is also
729 free software.
730
731 If you are compiling for X windows, and the X window library was
732 compiled to use the 68881, then you must edit config.h according
733 the comments at the end of -machine=sun3.
734
735 Note that Emacs on a Sun is not really as big as it looks.
736 As dumped, it includes around 200k of zeros between the
737 original text section and the original data section
738 (now remapped as part of the text). These are never
739 swapped in.
740
741 To build a single Emacs that will run on Sun 2 and Sun 3
742 HARDWARE, just build it on the Sun 2.
743
744 Sun 4 (-machine=sparc;
745 -opsystem=bsd4-2, -opsystem=sunos4-0, -opsystem=sunos4-1)
746
747 Changes merged in 18.50. Some people say optimizing compilation
748 does not work; some say that -O2 (whatever that is) works
749 perhaps with a small change.
750
751 Use -opsystem=sunos4-0 for operating system version 4.0, and
752 -opsystem=sunos4-1 for later versions.
753 See the file etc/SUNBUG for how to solve problems caused by
754 bugs in the "export" version of SunOS 4.
755
756 Sun Roadrunner (-machine=sun386; -opsystem=sunos4-0 or -opsystem=sunos4-1)
757
758 Changes merged in 18.51.
759
760 Tadpole 68K (-machine=tad68k; -opsystem=usg5-3)
761
762 Changes merged in 19.1.
763
764 You may need to edit Makefile to change the variables LIBDIR and
765 BINDIR from /usr/local to /usr/contrib.
766
767 To give movemail access to /usr/mail, you may need to execute
768
769 chmod 2755 etc/movemail; chgrp mail etc/movemail
770
771 Tahoe (-machine=tahoe; -opsystem=bsd4-2 or -opsystem=bsd4-3)
772
773 18.52 known to work on some Tahoes, but a compiler bug intervenes
774 on others. Some Emacs versions have worked in Unisys 1r4
775 (not in 1r3) and CCI I.21.
776
777 If you have trouble compiling lib-src/loadst.c, turn off the definition
778 of DKSTAT_HEADER_FILE in -machine=tahoe.
779
780 Tandem Integrity S2 (-machine=tandem-s2; -opsystem=usg5-3)
781
782 Changes merged in 18.56 but subprocess support is turned off.
783 You will probably want to see if you can make subprocesses work.
784
785 You must edit lib-src/Makefile to define LOADLIBES = -mld.
786
787 Tektronix 16000 box (6130?) (-machine=ns16000; -opsystem=bsd4-2)
788
789 Emacs 17.61 worked.
790
791 Tektronix 4300 (-machine=tek4300; -opsystem=bsd4-3)
792
793 Emacs 18.51 should work.
794
795 Titan P2 or P3 (-machine=titan; -opsystem=usg5-3)
796
797 Changes probably merged in version 19.
798
799 Ustation E30 (SS5E) (-machine=ustation; -opsystem=unipl5-2).
800
801 Changes merged in 18.52; don't know whether they work.
802
803 Vax running Berkeley Unix (-machine=vax;
804 -opsystem=bsd4-1, bsd4-2 or bsd4-3)
805
806 Works.
807
808 Vax running Ultrix (-machine=vax; -opsystem=bsd4-2)
809
810 Works. See under Ultrix for problems using X windows on Ultrix.
811
812 Vax running System V rel 2 (-machine=vax; -opsystem=usg5-2)
813
814 18.27 Works.
815
816 Vax running System V rel 0 (-machine=vax; -opsystem=usg5-0)
817
818 Works as of 18.36.
819
820 Vax running VMS (-machine=vax; -opsystem=vms
821 but on VMS they are m_vax.h and s_vms.h)
822
823 18.36 believed to work. Addition of features is necessary to make
824 this Emacs version more usable.
825
826 Whitechapel MG1 (-machine=mg1, s-?)
827
828 May work. Supposedly no changes were needed except the m- file.
829 I do not know what Unix version runs on them.
830
831 Wicat (-machine=wicat; -opsystem=usg5-2)
832
833 Changes merged as of 18.6; whether they work is unknown.
834 See comments in src/m/wicat.h for things you should change
835 depending on the system and compiler version you have.
