- I've taken a swing at building and installing gnu-emacs on our IRIS at
- work, with the result being an emacs executable that just prints
- "killed" on the invoking shell window.
-
- Here are the steps I went through to get the executable:
-
- 1) started with files in /usr/local/emacs-18.58/ from the archive on
- ftp.uu.net
- 2) copied and edited src/config.h, with m-iris4d.h and s-irix4-0.h as
- the machine and system files. I added S_SWITCH_MACHINE -cckr, as our
- compiler is ANSI. I left HAVE_X_WINDOWS commented out to help isolate
- the bug (it gave the same results with or without X).
- 3) since I'm installing in the standard /usr/local locations, I left
- the Makefile definitions of LIBDIR alone.
- 4) I left paths.el alone
- 5) I left site-init.el alone
- 6) I used neither C_OPTIMIZE or C_DEBUG flags
- 7) I'm using the cc complier from SGI that came with the IRIS
- 8) I use the ./install.sh script
-
- So, doing a 'make install' does give some warnings from the IRIS
- header files, about #ifdef arguments starting with digit, and there
- were some errors from mkdir because of directories already existing,
- but no other errors. I get an emacs execuable in /usr/local/bin, along with
- ctags, exacsclient, and etags, and I get all the directories under
- /usr/local/emacs.
-
- But the executable just prints "killed"
-
- Any help would be appreciated.
