-
- I've been told that V18.59 works fine under HP-UX 8.0.
-
- There are three ways to get GNU Emacs running on an HP machine:
-
- * Get version 18.59, which is supposed to support S700s.
-
- * For vanilla GNU Emacs V18.57, patches can be obtained via anonymous
- ftp from liasun3.epfl.ch [ non-authoritative address is
- 128.178.36.30 ]. The filename is "/pub/gnu/emcs1857HPUX8p". If you
- don't have access to anonymous ftp, send email and I'll send you a
- copy (note that I haven't tested them, although I am told that they
- work well).
-
- * You can obtain a copy of the "unofficial HP GNU Emacs", which is a
- greatly enhanced version of GNU Emacs V18.58 (note that this is
- *NOT* supported by HP). While it should still work with other
- workstations, this version has been optimized for use with HP
- workstations, and has many non-standard enhancements, a complete set
- of laserjet-ready documentation, and many other bells and whistles.
- Send email if you want a detailed description.
-
- Note that this version is based upon V18.58, and not V18.59 (there
- aren't a lot of changes between them).
-
- Sources are currently available via anonymous ftp from
- iworks.ecn.uiowa.edu [128.255.18.10] (as /comp.hp/GNUEmacs.tar.Z) --
- please ftp these files during off hours. You'll need a lot of disk
- space, as this compressed tar archive is about EIGHTEEN MEGABYTES in
- size.
-
- Also note that power comes at a price: you need about forty (40!)
- megabytes of disk space to extract and compile the "unofficial HP GNU
- Emacs". Once everything has been compiled, you can remove many of the
- files, such as the laserjet-ready documentation.
-
- Note further that you need a C compiler and software development
- libraries to compile Emacs. Many newer HP workstations do not come with
- a software developement system and have only a minimal C compiler, good
- only for regenerating the HP-UX kernel. You will not be able to compile
- Emacs unless you have the full C compiler, include files, and software
- development libraries.
