Re: Linux/Alpha

nbecker <nbecker(a)fred.net&gt; writes in xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org: Yes. It will also help if you send in the Installation file created by configure (see bottom of this message). XEmacs is not solidly supported on Alphas yet under any operating system. There are known problems with DEC OSF/Alpha. 21.0 is known to work, 21.2 is known not to work, though Martin is working on a patch to make it work. Egcs 1.1.1 appears to work. $ gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/alphaev56-dec-osf4.0e/egcs-2.91.60/specs gcc version egcs-2.91.60 19981201 (egcs-1.1.1 release) The configuration I'm currently running is: uname -a: OSF1 gneiss.etl.go.jp V4.0 1091 alpha /freeware/XEmacs/xemacs-21.0/configure '--with-mule' '--debug=no' '--error-checking=none' '--verbose=no' '--extra-verbose=no' '--site-prefixes=/usr/local' '--compiler=gcc' '--with-xfs' '--with-gnu-make' '--srcdir=/freeware/XEmacs/xemacs-21.0' '--with-xim' XEmacs 21.0-b64 "20 minutes to Nikko" configured for `alphaev56-dec-osf4.0e'. Where should the build process find the source code? /freeware/XEmacs/xemacs-21.0 What installation prefix should install use? /usr/local What operating system and machine description files should XEmacs use? `s/decosf4-0.h' and `m/alpha.h' What compiler should XEmacs be built with? gcc -g -O3 -Wall -Wno-switch Should XEmacs use the GNU version of malloc? no (The GNU allocators don't work with this system configuration). Should XEmacs use the relocating allocator for buffers? yes What window system should XEmacs use? x11 Where do we find X Windows header files? /usr/dt/include Where do we find X Windows libraries? /usr/dt/lib Additional prefixes: /usr/local Runtime library search path: /usr/local/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/shlib Compiling in support for XAUTH.
