Re: 21.1.14 vs. alphaev5-dec-osf5.0

JHP> (On a related topic, should /etc/MACHINES be updated in version JHP> 21.2.43, to reflect the fact that alphaev5-dec-osf5.0 is recognized by JHP> configure?) I recommend that the current contents of etc/MACHINES be nuked and replaced by something like this: (yasepocchi: if you agree, I'll commit such a change.) This is a list of the status of XEmacs on various machines and systems. See PROBLEMS for particular problems and possible workarounds. Much effort has gone into making XEmacs work on as many different machines, configurations, and compilers as possible. Much effort has gone into making XEmacs 64-bit clean. Much effort has gone into removing system-specific code, and replacing such code with autodetection at configure time. XEmacs 21.2 was tested and `make check' succeeded on these Unix configurations as of 2001-01-30: i386-unknown-freebsd4.2 hppa2.0-hp-hpux10.20 (both HP's ANSI cc and gcc) rs6000-ibm-aix4.3.0.0 (both IBM's xlc and gcc) i386-unknown-netbsdelf1.5 i686-pc-linux-gnu sparc-sun-solaris2.6 (both Sun's Forte C and gcc) sparc-sun-solaris2.7 (both Sun's Forte C and gcc) sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4 (gcc) alphaev56-dec-osf4.0e (both Compaq C and gcc) mips-sgi-irix6.5 (both MIPSpro cc and gcc) Some systems have a dual mode 32-bit/64-bit compiler. On most of these, XEmacs requires the --pdump configure option to build correctly with the 64-bit version of the compiler. mips-sgi-irix6.5, CC="gcc -mabi=64" mips-sgi-irix6.5, CC="cc -64" rs6000-ibm-aix4.3.0.0, CC="cc -q64" XEmacs 21.2 is known _not_ to work on any machines with m680x0 processors. Sorry, all you sun3 and Unix PC nostalgia buffs.
