Yesterday I compiled the new emacs v18.59 on my 486 running 386bsd v0.1. I used the standard cc (ie gcc 1.39) but will try gcc 2.2.2 with -O2 soon. I compiled with X11 support and the X menu enabled. There were only minor problems: o there is no libg.a in /usr/lib -- I just created an empty one (I'm not sure what happens but I strip my executable anyway :-) o one change in oldXmenu/Makefile has to be made: Change oldXMenu/Makefile by adding insque.o to the variable OBJS (from the PROBLEMS file) o I used the X libs from the XFree distribution, but I didn't want to copy or link them into /usr/lib so I had to change src/xmakefile to include a -L/usr/lib/X11 (xmakefile is generated via make all in src). I suggest that you get the complete emacs-18.59.tar.Z because you need the support files anyway, but if you can't compile emacs I could ftp a copy of the binary to a server of your choice :-) Thanks to L&BJ and RMS! -- >Volker -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bitnet: UNM409@DBNRHRZ1 Volker A.
