- I successfully compiled Emacs 15.18 using gcc 2.2.2 after changing
- some parameters. The major problems I've encountered and can't
- be solved up to now are:
- 1. The suspended Emacs cannot recover the the terminal characterisics
- after being resumed.
- 2. The M-x shell command doesn't work quite correctly no matter how
- I change the method of interprocess communications.
-
- The first problem also haunts the elvis binary I got from banjo so I
- guess that there may be bugs in the library.
-
- I also hack a little on emacs/lisp/term/at386.el to obtain a set of
- elisp files suitable for Linux's virtual consoles. I myself don't
- know whether there are people working on the version, but the source
- I got from tsx-11 isn't a ported source because there remain alot
- of works to be done when I was porting emacs.
-
- My work is just for fun and it isn't for public release.
