- Hi,
-
- I have been trying to build emacs on mach 2.5 running the BSD 2.3
- server for a few days now. What i have run into is that temacs,
- the emacs that builds the lisp code can't find its environment:
- (char *)getenv("TERM") is returning NULL. I wrote a small program
- to test this out, to see if it was the OS, and not emacs. The
- program worked flawlessly (i made sure to use the same calls, and
- calling syntax as emacs does in displaynew.c (i believe that that
- was the name of the code file).
-
- does anyone have any idea on how i might fix this? I tried hardcoding
- the terminal, but temacs still cant get its arguments to build the lisp
- files.
