Hi,
I'm trying to build xemacs 21.0 beta59, but it dumps core during "testing
for lisp shadows".
This is usually an indication of problems during dump, but from the
looks of your stack backtrace, this doesn't appear to be the case.
Xemacs was compiled using egcs 1.1b on a HP/UX 9.05 machine. It was
configured
as follows:
/configure --prefix=/u/bmtln135/chudon
'--site-prefixes=/u/bmtln135/chudon /usr/local/lib' --error-checking=none
--with-mule --with-xfs
Try adding the option `--with-xim=none' and see if that helps.
The xemacs-sumo-19981014.tar.gz file is installed as ~/lib/xemacs
Has anyone had success building recent xemacs 21.0 betas on HP/UX 9?
I've built recent non-Mule ones on HP/UX 10.20. I don't know how
close that is.

This is the entry point for XEmacs XIM stuffs.

Try adding the option `--with-xim=none' and see if that helps.
It didn't help. It crashes elsewhere. I upgraded to beta 60 the latest sumo
packages and tried disabling various options in the hope of making if work.
I didn't succeed, but at least now the backtrace is shorter.
(/usr/local/bin/gcc is version 2.7.2) Hopefully this helps.

PLease try building with -fno-caller-saves if you aren't doing so
already.

I tried that, and I also tried disable Motif for the dialog boxes, but it
still crashes at the same place.

Aarrgh. This should not happen. Motif already handles the FontSet
stuff itself (although differently from xfs == XFontSet, as I recall)
and --with-xfs should (I believe) be incompatible with Motif, as xfs
provides a small subset of Motif functionality with a different
implementation and interface. I have no opinion as to whether
configure should barf and stop, turn off Motif and warn, or turn off
xfs and warn.
Caveat: I do not understand the etiology of the crash, especially not
the huge malloc, I just know what O'Reilly _The X Windows System_ says.
Martin, correct me if I'm wrong....
sb> Try adding the option `--with-xim=none' and see if that helps.
This is not going to help, the conflict is not between xim as such and
xfs (I have not seen any --with-xfs --with-xim=xlib crashes reported
since the patch that fixed --xim=xlib), it's between --with-xfs and
Motif. You need to turn off Motif or xfs entirely.
