** Alpha (DEC) running GNU/Linux (alpha-dec-linux-gnu)
|
||||
|
||||
DEC C compiler version 5.9 (DEC C V5.9-005 on Digital UNIX V4.0f)
|
||||
is reported to produce bogus binaries of Emacs 21.2 when the
|
||||
command-line switches "-O4 -arch ev6 -tune ev6" are used. Using
|
||||
just -O4 produces a good executable.
|
||||
|
||||
For 4.0 revision 564, and 4.0A and 4.0B, Emacs 20 seems to work
|
||||
with no special configuration options. However, if you use GCC as
|
||||
your compiler, you will need version 2.8.1 or later, as older
|
||||
versions fail to build with a message "Invalid dimension for the
|
||||
charset-ID 160".
|
||||
|
||||
** Apple Macintosh running Mac OS X
|
||||
|
||||
** Apple PowerPC Macintosh running GNU/Linux
|
||||
|
||||
** HP 9000 series 700 or 800 (Spectrum) (hppa1.0-hp-hpux or hppa1.1-hp-hpux)
|
||||
|
||||
Emacs 20 may work on HPUX 10. You need patch PHSS_6202 to install
|
||||
the Xaw and Xmu libraries. On HPUX 10.20 you may need to compile with GCC;
|
||||
when Emacs was compiled with HP's C compiler, HP92453-01 A.10.32.03,
|
||||
the subprocess features failed to work.
|
||||
|
||||
If you turn on the DSUSP character (delayed suspend), Emacs 19.26
|
||||
does not know how to turn it off on HPUX. You need to turn it off manually.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are running HP/UX release 8.0 or later, you need the optional
|
||||
"C/ANSI C" software in order to build Emacs (older releases of HP/UX
|
||||
do not require any special software). If the file "/etc/filesets/C"
|
||||
exists on your machine, you have this software, otherwise you do not.
|
||||
|
||||
** IBM RS/6000 (rs6000-ibm-aix*)
|
||||
|
||||
Emacs 19.26 is believed to work; its pretest was tested.
|
||||
|
||||
Compiling with the system's `cc' and CFLAGS containing `-O5' might
|
||||
fail because libXbsd isn't found. This is a compiler bug;
|
||||
re-configure Emacs so that it isn't compiled with `-O5'.
|
||||
|
||||
On AIX 4.3.x and 4.4, compiling with /bin/c89 fails because it
|
||||
treats certain warnings as errors. Use `cc' instead.
|
||||
|
||||
At last report, Emacs didn't run well on terminals. Informed
|
||||
persons say that the tty VMIN and VTIME settings have been
|
||||
corrupted; if you have a fix, please send it to us.
|
||||
|
||||
Compiling with -O using the IBM compiler has been known to make
|
||||
Emacs work incorrectly. There are reports that IBM compiler versions
|
||||
earlier than 1.03.00.02 fail even without -O.
|
||||
|
||||
As of 19.11, if you strip the Emacs executable, it ceases to work.
|
||||
|
||||
If anyone can fix the above problems, or confirm that they don't happen
|
||||
with certain versions of various programs, we would appreciate it.
|
||||
|
||||
** IBM System/390 running GNU/Linux (s390-*-linux-gnu)
|
||||
|
||||
As of Emacs 21.2, a 31-bit only version is supported on this system.
|
||||
|
||||
** Intel 386 (i386-*-freebsd, i386-*-linux-gnu,
|
||||
i386-*-cygwin, i386-*-msdos, i386-*-windowsnt.
|
||||
i386 can be replaced with i486, i586, or i686)
|
||||
|
||||
In the above configurations, * means that the manufacturer's name
|
||||
you specify does not matter, and you can use any name you like
|
||||
(but it should not contain any dashes or stars).
|
||||
|
||||
Use i386-*-linux-gnu for GNU/Linux systems; Emacs runs as of version 19.26.
|
||||
Use i386-*-cygwin for Cygwin; Emacs builds as of version 22.1, in both X11
|
||||
and non-X11 modes. (The Cygwin site has source and binaries for 21.2.)
|
||||
|
||||
On GNU/Linux systems, Emacs 19.23 was said to work properly with libc
|
||||
version 4.5.21, but not with 4.5.19.
|
||||
|
||||
On GNU/Linux, configure may fail to put these definitions in config.h:
|
||||
|
||||
#define HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY
|
||||
#define HAVE_MKDIR
|
||||
#define HAVE_RMDIR
|
||||
#define HAVE_XSCREENNUMBEROFSCREEN
|
||||
|
||||
To work around the problem, add those definitions by hand.
|
||||
It is possible that this problem happens only with X11R6.
|
||||
Newer system versions have fixed it.
|
||||
|
||||
On NetBSD and FreeBSD, at one time, it was necessary to use
|
||||
GNU make, not the system's make. Assuming it's installed as gmake,
|
||||
do `gmake install MAKE=gmake'. However, more recently it is
|
||||
reported that using the system Make on NetBSD 1.3.1 works ok.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that use of Linux with GCC 2.4 and the DLL 4.4 libraries
|
||||
requires the experimental "net 2" network patches (no relation to
|
||||
Berkeley Net 2). There is a report that (some version of) Linux
|
||||
requires including `/usr/src/linux/include/linux' in buffer.c
|
||||
but no coherent explanation of why that might be so. If it is so,
|
||||
in current versions of Linux, something else should probably be changed.
|
||||
|
||||
You may find that adding -I/usr/X/include or -I/usr/netinclude or both
|
||||
to CFLAGS avoids compilation errors on certain systems.
|
||||
|
||||
Some versions convince sysdep.c to try to use `struct tchars'
|
||||
but define `struct tc' instead; add `#define tchars tc'
|
||||
to config.h to solve this problem.
|
||||
|
||||
** Iris 4D (mips-sgi-irix6.*)
|
||||
|
||||
Emacs 21.3 is reported to work on IRIX 6.5.x.
|
||||
|
||||
You can build a 64-bit executable (with larger maximum buffer size)
|
||||
on Irix 6.5 by specifying the 64-bit ABI using the `-64' compiler
|
||||
flag or otherwise (see cc(1)).
|
||||
|
||||
If compiling with GCC on Irix 6 yields an error "conflicting types
|
||||
for `initstate'", install GCC 2.95 or a newer version, and this
|
||||
problem should go away. It is possible that this problem results
|
||||
from upgrading the operating system without reinstalling GCC; so you
|
||||
could also try reinstalling the same version of GCC, and telling us
|
||||
whether that fixes the problem.
|
||||
|
||||
** Sun 4 (sparc), Sun 386 (sparc-sun-solaris2.*,
|
||||
i386-sun-solaris2.*, sparc*-*-linux-gnu)
|
||||
|
||||
To build a 32-bit Emacs (i.e. if you are having any sort of problem
|
||||
bootstrapping a 64-bit version), you can use the Sun Studio compiler
|
||||
and configure Emacs with:
|
||||
env CC="cc -xarch=v7" CFLAGS='' ./configure # on SPARC systems
|
||||
env CC="cc -xarch=386" CFLAGS='' ./configure # on x86 systems
|
||||
On Solaris 2.10, it is also possible to use /usr/sfw/bin/gcc to build
|
||||
a 32-bit version of Emacs. Just make sure you point ./configure to
|
||||
the right compiler:
|
||||
|
||||
env CC='/usr/sfw/bin/gcc -m32' ./configure
|
||||
|
||||
To build a 64-bit Emacs (with larger maximum buffer size and
|
||||
including large file support) on a Solaris system which supports
|
||||
64-bit executables, use the Sun compiler, configuring something like
|
||||
this (see the cc documentation for information on 64-bit
|
||||
compilation):
|
||||
|
||||
env CC="cc -xarch=v9" CFLAGS='' ./configure # on SPARC systems
|
||||
env CC="cc -xarch=amd64" CFLAGS='' ./configure # on x86 systems
|
||||
|
||||
As of version 2.95, GCC doesn't support the 64-bit ABI properly, but
|
||||
later releases may.
|
||||
|
||||
Some versions of Solaris 8 have a bug in their XIM (X Input Method)
|
||||
implementation which causes Emacs to dump core when one of several
|
||||
frames is closed. To avoid this, either install patch 108773-12
|
||||
(for Sparc) or 108874-12 (for x86), or configure Emacs with the
|
||||
`--with-xim=no' switch (you can use Leim input methods instead).
|
||||
|
||||
On Solaris 2.7, building Emacs with WorkShop Compilers 5.0 98/12/15
|
||||
C 5.0 failed, apparently with non-default CFLAGS, most probably due to
|
||||
compiler bugs. Using Sun Solaris 2.7 Sun WorkShop 6 update 1 C
|
||||
release was reported to work without problems. It worked OK on
|
||||
another system with Solaris 8 using apparently the same 5.0 compiler
|
||||
and the default CFLAGS.
|
||||
|
||||
Emacs 21.1 and 21.2 built with Sun's ProWorks PC3.0.1 compiler on
|
||||
Intel/Solaris 8 was reported to abort and dump core during startup.
|
||||
Using GCC or a newer SUN compiler (Sun WokShop 6 update 2 C 5.3
|
||||
2001/05/15) solves the problem.
|
||||
|
||||
Emacs 20.5 and later work on SPARC GNU/Linux with the 32-bit ABI.
|
||||
As of release 2.95, GCC doesn't work properly with the 64-bit ABI
|
||||
(applicable on UltraSPARC), but that isn't the default mode.
|
||||
|
||||
There are reports that using SunSoft cc with -xO4 -xdepend produces
|
||||
bad code for some part of Emacs.
|
||||
|
||||
Some people report that Emacs crashes immediately on startup when
|
||||
used with a non-X terminal, but we think this is due to compiling
|
||||
with GCC and failing to use GCC's "fixed" system header files.
|
||||
|
||||
Some Sun versions of X windows use the clipboard, not the selections,
|
||||
for transferring text between clients. The Cut, Paste and Copy items
|
||||
in the menu bar Edit menu work with the clipboard.
|
||||
|
||||
If you compile with Sun's ANSI compiler acc, you need additional options
|
||||
when linking temacs, such as
|
||||
/usr/lang/SC2.0.1/values-Xt.o -L/usr/lang/SC2.0.1/cg87 -L/usr/lang/SC2.0.1
|
||||
(those should be added just before the libraries) and you need to
|
||||
add -lansi just before -lc. The precise file names depend on the
|
||||
compiler version, so we cannot easily arrange to supply them.
|
||||
|
||||
On Solaris 2, you need to install patch 100947-02 to fix a system bug.
|
||||
Presumably this patch comes from Sun. You must alter the definition of
|
||||
LD_SWITCH_SYSTEM if your X11 libraries are not in /usr/openwin/lib.
|
||||
You must make sure that /usr/ucblib is not in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
|
||||
|
||||
On Solaris, do not use /usr/ucb/cc. Use /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc. Make
|
||||
sure that /usr/ccs/bin and /opt/SUNWspro/bin are in your PATH before
|
||||
/usr/ucb. (Most free software packages have the same requirement on
|
||||
Solaris.) With this compiler, use `/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -E' as the
|
||||
preprocessor. If this inserts extra whitespace into its output (see
|
||||
the PROBLEMS file) then add the option `-Xs'.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have trouble using open-network-stream, get the distribution
|
||||
of `bind' (the BSD name-server), build libresolv.a, and link Emacs
|
||||
with -lresolv, by editing LIBRESOLV in src/Makefile. This problem is
|
||||
due to obsolete software in the nonshared standard library.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that Emacs on a Sun is not really as big as it looks. As
|
||||
dumped, it includes around 200k of zeros between the original text
|
||||
section and the original data section (now remapped as part of the
|
||||
text). These are never swapped in.

*** 64-bit GNU/Linux
|
||||
|
||||
No special procedures should be needed to build a 64-bit Emacs on a
|
||||
64-bit GNU/Linux system. To build a 32-bit Emacs, first ensure that
|
||||
the necessary 32-bit system libraries and include files are
|
||||
installed. Then use:
|
||||
|
||||
./configure CC='gcc -m32' --build=i386-linux-gnu \
|
||||
--x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib
|

For installation on all versions of the MS-Windows platform, see the

|
||||
On Solaris it is also possible to use either GCC or Solaris Studio
|
||||
to build Emacs, by pointing ./configure to the right compiler:
|
||||
|
||||
** X86_64 GNU/Linux
|
||||
./configure CC='/usr/sfw/bin/gcc' # GCC
|
||||
./configure CC='cc' # Solaris Studio
|
||||
|
||||
No special procedures should be needed to build a 64-bit Emacs. To
|
||||
build a 32-bit Emacs, first ensure that the necessary 32-bit system
|
||||
libraries and include files are installed. Then use:
|
||||
On Solaris, do not use /usr/ucb/cc. Use /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc. Make
|
||||
sure that /usr/ccs/bin and /opt/SUNWspro/bin are in your PATH before
|
||||
/usr/ucb. (Most free software packages have the same requirement on
|
||||
Solaris.) With this compiler, use `/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -E' as the
|
||||
preprocessor. If this inserts extra whitespace into its output (see
|
||||
the PROBLEMS file) then add the option `-Xs'.
|
||||
|
||||
env CC="gcc -m32" ./configure --build=i386-linux-gnu \
|
||||
--x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib
|
||||
To build a 64-bit Emacs (with larger maximum buffer size) on a
|
||||
Solaris system which supports 64-bit executables, specify the -m64
|
||||
compiler option. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
(using the location of the 32-bit X libraries on your system).
|
||||
./configure CC='/usr/sfw/bin/gcc -m64' # GCC
|
