Spam, and so forth.

Some spam has got through to the list and into the archives since the lists
were restored (though of course much less than was sent to the list
addresses). I have tightened up the posting rules and list membership rules;
now only members can post (as was previously the case) and any membership
requests need to be confirmed (which is new). Sorry about the spam, and the
resultant confusing situation of the archives, and thank you Uwe Brauer for
pointing out to me how confusing this is!

XEmacs on Fedora 26, Ubuntu 17.10
7 years

My primary systems are Fedora 25 and Ubuntu 14, and latest xemacs runs fine
there. (One minor nit: menus are displayed with strange colors and
backgrounds. I worked around that by using --with-xft=emacs,menubars.)
However, I've been trying to build on 26 and 17.10. (And some random
Debian test at work). It doesn't work.
On fedora 26 and ubuntu, I configure using --with-mule
--with-xft=emacs,menubars
In both systems, I gt errors that __getpagesize is implicitly declared and
that sbrk has conflicting types.
I just removed the erroneous declaration of sbrk (in favor of the
definition from unistd.h), and just changed __getpagesize to getpagesize.
This allows compile to finish, but running
xemacs -no-packages -batch -no-autoloads -l update-elc-2.el -f
batch-update-elc-2
causes a segfault. Indeed, just src/xemacs segfaults.
Any ideas? Configuring with --with-system-malloc gets around the problem
but it still segfaults in the same place.

Re: --with-unicode-internal?

Plain old Mule internals is limited to about 400,000 Unicode code points in
one XEmacs process (beyond those code points already allocated for Big5, CNS
11643, iso8859, etc). This is due to a limitation on the number of
just-in-time charsets that can be created. This isn’t an issue in daily use,
whence the lack of urgency about merging the unicode-internal code over the
last few years.
Most of the upside has been already achieved, with the fixed-width coding
systems avoiding the latin-disunification problem, and decent X11 redisplay
for the just-in-time charsets. An issue for you may be the CJK
disunification inherent in Unicode becomes a more evident issue.
