The old 386bsd image works OK, except for the /etc/pwd.db format errors, but emacs versions using precisely the same setup fail when compiled under NetBSD. I suspect that the crt0.c file that is included with the released version on emacs is conflicting with the NetBSD one, although I am pretty clueless when it comes to understanding why... If anyone has managed to get emacs compiled under the NetBSD-current sources, could you drop me a line. Please post, since I don't read E-Mail very often :-) -- ------ TSgt Dave Burgess NCOIC AL/Management Information Systems Office Brooks AFB, TX If you get a working temacs, but the dumped version is trashed, then add this to the config.h (or someplace more appropriate). /* Say that the text segment of a.out includes the header; the header actually occupies the first few bytes of the text segment and is counted in hdr.a_text. */ #define A_TEXT_OFFSET(HDR) sizeof (HDR) /* This is the offset of the executable's text, from the start of the file. */ #define A_TEXT_SEEK(HDR) (N_TXTOFF (hdr) + sizeof (hdr)) (I suspect a *real* patch will be posted soon...) -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= John Brezak UUCP: uunet!osf!brezak Open Software Foundation Internet: brezak@osf.org 11 Cambridge Center Fax: (617) 621 8696 Cambridge, Massachusetts Phone: (617) 621-7350
