I'm trying to build 21.1.2 on HP using HP's cc. xemacs gets dumped. However, when src/xemacs is first run (as part of lisp shadows), it hangs, and can't be interrupted, killed, or kill -9'ed. If I run it from gdb (gdb ./xemacs CR run), it works. If I use dde: (Warning) Object file "/var/tmp/vallon/public/xemacs-21.1/xemacs-21.1.2/src/xemacs" has no debug information. Limited debugging will be available. (Warning) end.o has not been linked in. Cannot read from virtual address 7B0394DC of process 0. ...and the debugger is left in an unloaded state. xdb is able to load the executable, and it starts in main (no source code, though due to -O), but "cont" hangs. Neither gdb nor dde are able to attach to the hung xemacs. I found some 21.0 build successes for HPUX 10.20. Are there any later successes? Is the "Should XEmacs use the GNU version of malloc?" ok to be yes, if using the native compiler? Anything else to try? I guess I can try downgrading until it works. Here's Installation: uname -a: HP-UX pearl B.10.20 A 9000/778 2014301313 two-user license ./configure '--compiler' 'cc' '--cflags=-O +Onolimit' '--with-gnu-make' XEmacs 21.1-p2 "20 Minutes to Nikko" configured for `hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20'.
