toolbox/public/GNU README
This subtree contains public domain source/documentation for
the GNU emacs (version 19.28) and gnumake applications.
gnumake has not changed in a long time.
See the Frequently Asked Questions GNUemacs file located at
~4Dgifts/toolbox/FAQs/netfaqs/GNUemacs-faq.
emacs contains inst images of:
emacs19 - GNU emacs-19.28 (for IRIX 5.2+)
The latest version of the GNU (Gnus Not Unix) editor. Includes
the GNUS newsreader, gnuserv, and other stuff standard. For
this release, the "extra" stuff (other than gnuserv) is in a
seperate inst package (emacs19-contrib). All binaries end in
"19" to avoid conflict with emacs-18. Installs into /usr/gnu,
and inst will follow the symlink if moved elsewhere.
emacs19-contrib - extra/contributed software for emacs19
Contains extensions to the standard GNU Emacs distribution:
vm 5.72 (beta), , and other miscellaneous packages. Should
work OK with the earlier 19.22 inst package, but it has not
been tested.
The bulk of everything installs into /usr/gnu, and takes 26+MB.
To avoid conflicts with the existing emacs binaries, it is
called emacs19, and the man pages are also suffixed with 19
(`man emacs19 ctags19 etags19`).
Any bugs in emacs, send to the Free Software Foundation (FSF).
Emacs-19.28 is now quite robust, but there are still 3rd-party
elisp packages which haven't been ported to work with emacs-19,
so you should be careful when replacing emacs-18.

To compile GNU make, move to the gnumake/src directory, and
execute /bin/make. The gnumake directory also includes some
other programs (texinfo and dvi) which are not ported to the
IRIS. They are included here, however, in accordance with the
GNU license which requires that all files contained with the
original GNU distribution be included. The Makefile in the
gnumake directory currently does not work correctly on an
IRIS.
