Yipee!! I just built and ran b42 on my DU 4.0D system. Built mostly with cc, but two modules, frame.c and glyphs-x.c would not compile with cc and were done with gcc. frame.c has always failed with an internal compiler error but the glyphs-x module looks to have a real error: cc -c -O2 -Demacs -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I/usr/local/include -D_BSD -I/usr/dt/include glyphs-x.c cc: Error: glyphs-x.c, line 850: In this declaration, the type of "read_bitmap_data_from_file" is not compatible with the type of a previous declaration of "read_bitmap_data_from_file" at line number 406 in file glyphs.h. int read_bitmap_data_from_file (CONST char *filename, unsigned int *width, ----^ make[1]: *** [glyphs-x.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/oberman/utils/xemacs-21.0-b42/src' make: *** [src] Error 2 The configuration needed the --use-union-type.

Compiling in support for XPM images. Compiling in support for JPEG image conversion. Compiling in support for PNG image conversion. Compiling in support for TIFF image conversion. Compiling in support for Berkeley DB. Compiling in support for GNU DBM. Compiling in support for CDE. Compiling in support for ToolTalk. Compiling in support for Drag'n'Drop ( CDE ). Compiling in support for proper session-management. Using Lucid menubars. Using Lucid scrollbars. Using Motif dialog boxes. Compiling in DLL support. movemail will use "flock" for locking mail spool files. Using the union type for Lisp_Objects. Compiling in extra code for debugging. Compiling in code for checking XEmacs memory usage. I have yet to load packages or try any real use of the editor. I just built it and started it with "-q". I'll load packages and test gnus and tpu-edt (the reason I build betas) tomorrow. Still, it's great to finally have it build at all! R.
