- Dear Lucid Xperts,
-
- Perhaps this message belongs on bug-lucid-emacs. As I do not have a
- programming background, I wouldn't know a bug if it bit me /:)
-
- After much trouble compiling 19.6 on my DECstation 5000/25
- Ultrix-4.2A, I first opted for Martin Frost's solution with the
- native, non-ANSI compiler, which produced many errors, yet provided me
- with an xemacs that works. Many thanks to Martin.
-
- It seemed I was missing some functionality, so I reviewed all the
- archived messages and continued to experiment. At last I was able to
- build 19.6 with gcc-2.3.1 using the Lucid widgets, after commenting
- out the "nostdlib" option for gcc in the ymakefile (so gcc would find
- -lm and -lc) and adding -ldnet for DECnet after the GCC_LIB pointer in
- config.h. Oddly enough the directory specification
- "decstation-ultrix" was transformed into "decstation-1". So I made a
- link and the build produced three errors, which do not seem to affect
- the programs operation in any way.
-
- > termcap.c: In function `tgetent':
- > termcap.c:367: warning: passing arg 2 of `strcmp' makes pointer from
- > integer without a cast
- > lwlib.c: In function `safe_strdup':
- > lwlib.c:70: warning: return makes pointer from integer without a cast
- > xlwmenu.c: In function `resource_widget_value':
- > xlwmenu.c:248: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without
- > a cast
-
- I don't understand these errors, but my 19.6 works great. I'll be
- happy to share my config.h to anyone who would like to see it.
-
- My thanks to everyone who helped me, and my sincere complements to
- Lucid. What a product!
-

-
- PS: I thought I might make a list of all the possible resources. If
- such a list interests you, send me your examples and I'll add them to
- mine, and post them all later.
