+ To build a 32-bit Emacs (i.e. if you are having any sort of problem
+ bootstrapping a 64-bit version), you can use the Sun Studio compiler
+ and configure Emacs with:
+ env CC="cc -xarch=v7" CFLAGS='' ./configure # on SPARC systems
+ env CC="cc -xarch=386" CFLAGS='' ./configure # on x86 systems
+ On Solaris 2.10, it is also possible to use /usr/sfw/bin/gcc to build
+ a 32-bit version of Emacs. Just make sure you point ./configure to
+ the right compiler:
+
+ env CC='/usr/sfw/bin/gcc -m32' ./configure
+
To build a 64-bit Emacs (with larger maximum buffer size and
including large file support) on a Solaris system which supports
64-bit executables, use the Sun compiler, configuring something like
this (see the cc documentation for information on 64-bit
- compilation): env CC="cc -xarch=v9" ./configure
+ compilation):
+
+ env CC="cc -xarch=v9" CFLAGS='' ./configure # on SPARC systems
+ env CC="cc -xarch=amd64" CFLAGS='' ./configure # on x86 systems
As of version 2.95, GCC doesn't support the 64-bit ABI properly, but
later releases may.
