- Managed to get lemacs 19.4 working on a decstation,
- with ultrix 4.2A, mips c-compiler, dec's X11R4 and Motif.
-
- Encountered two "real" problems:
-
- src/keymap.c did not compile with -g flag, used -O instead
-
- on my system, stdio.h includes a typedef of size_t
- this conflicts with #define size_t in src/gmalloc.c
- added "#undef size_t" just before "#include <stdio.h>" in gmalloc.c.
- not sure if gmalloc.c should do that...
- (fortunately the size_t used was the same...)
-
- One small nuisance:
-
- The mips c-compiler really likes to tell you
- that it doesn't support the "const" keyword yet.
- To get rid of the hundreds of warnings,
- added -Dconst="" to C_SWITCH_SITE in config.sys
-
- Had to define NEED_STRDUP and NEED_REALPATH, as I had to for 19.3.
- Maybe this should be added to some s-ultrix4-2A.h (?).
-
- Much easier installation than previous versions!
-
- 19.4 seems to load and run faster!
-
- Dialog box support with Motif!
- Font is too big on my screen though.
- What are the X-resources used?
- Application size is getting too big: > 4MB
- (Motif linking added more than 1 MB,
- really makes you miss shared lib support on ultrix)
-
- Still no scrollbars (yet)...
-
- Have xpm linked in,
- but have no idea what additional "features" I have available now(?)
-
- All of you at Lucid, as well as those brave beta-testers world-wide,
- great job and thanks very much!
-
- Regards & "kung hei fat choi" from Singapore,
- Frank.
