This is a list of the status of GNU Emacs on various machines and systems.
Last updated 10 Feb 1992.
-For each system and machine, we give the `-opsystem' and `-machine'
-options you should pass to configure to prepare to build Emacs for
-that system/machine.
+For each system and machine, we give the configuration name you should
+pass to the `configure' script to prepare to build Emacs for that
+system/machine.
-These options tell Emacs which machine- and system-descriptive files
-to include. For each `-machine=MACHNAME' option, there exists a file
-`src/m/MACHNAME.h', and for each `-opsystem=OSNAME' option, there
-exists a file `src/s/OSNAME.h'.
+The `configure' script uses the configuration name to decide which
+machine and operating system description files `src/config.h' should
+include. The machine description files are all in `src/m', and have
+names similar to, but not identical to, the machine names used in
+configuration names. The operating system files are all in `src/s',
+and are named similarly. See the `configure' script if you need to
+know which configuration names use which machine and operating system
+description files.
-Systems:
-Berkeley 4.1 (-opsystem=bsd4-1)
-
- Works on vaxes.
-
-Berkeley 4.2 (-opsystem=bsd4-2)
-
- Works on several machines.
-
-Berkeley 4.3 (-opsystem=bsd4-3)
-
- Works, on Vaxes at least.
-
-Microport
-
- See under "Intel 386".
-
-System V rel 0 (-opsystem=usg5-0)
-
- Works, on Vaxes and 3bxxx's.
- There are some problems in 18.37 due to shortnames/cccp problems:
- use the emacs 17 cpp if you have it.
-
-System V rel 2 (-opsystem=usg5-2)
-
- Works on various machines.
- On some (maybe all) machines the library -lPW exists and contains
- a version of `alloca'. On these machines, to use it, put
- #define HAVE_ALLOCA
- #define LIB_STANDARD -lPW -lc
- in the src/m/MACHINENAME.h file for the machine.
-
- If you find that the character Meta-DEL makes Emacs crash,
- find where function init_sys_modes in sysdep.c sets sg.c_cc[VQUIT]
- and make it store 7 there. I have as yet no evidence of whether
- this problem, known in HP-UX, exists in other system V versions.
-
-System V rel 2.2 (-opsystem=usg5-2-2)
-
- In 5.2.2 AT&T undid, incompatibly, their previous incompatible
- change to the way the nlist library is called. A different s- file
- is used to enable the other interface.
-
- They call themselves the right choice--can't they choose?
-
- Emacs version 18 unexec is currently not working properly
- on 5.2.2. Nobody knows why yet. A workaround is to define
- NO_REMAP. It is not yet known whether this applies to all
- machines running 5.2.2.
-
-System V rel 3 (-opsystem=usg5-3)
-
- Some versions of this system support ptys and BSD-style sockets.
- On such systems, you should define HAVE_PTYS and HAVE_SOCKETS in config.h.
-
- If you want to link Emacs with shared libraries, define
- USG_SHARED_LIBRARIES.
-
-System V rel 4 (-opsystem=usg5-4)
-
- Supported, including shared libraries for ELF, but ptys do not
- work because TIOCGPGRP fails to work on ptys.
- This failure is probably due to a misunderstanding of the
- consequences of the POSIX spec: many system designers mistakenly
- think that POSIX requires this feature to fail. This is untrue;
- ptys are an extension, and POSIX says that extensions *when used*
- may change the action of standard facilities in any fashion.
-
- The standard C preprocessor generate xmakefile incorrectly. However,
- /lib/cpp will work, so use `make CPP=/lib/cpp'.
-
- Versions 3 and earlier of V.4, on the Intel 386 and 860, had
- problems in the X11 libraries. These prevent Emacs from working
- with X. You can use Emacs with X provided your copy of X is based
- on X11 release 4 or newer. Unfortunately, the only way you can tell
- whether your X11 library is new enough is to try compiling Emacs to
- use X. If xemacs runs, your X11 library is new enough.
-
- In this context, GSV4 and GSV4i are alternate names for X11R4.
- OL2.* is X11R3 based. OL3 is in between X11R3 and X11R4, and may or
- may not work, depending on who made the Unix system. If the library
- libXol is part of the X distribution, then you have X11R3 and Emacs
- won't work with X.
-
- Most versions of V.4 support sockets. If `/usr/lib/libsocket.so'
- exists, your system supports them. If yours does not, you must add
- #undef HAVE_SOCKETS in config.h, after the inclusion of s-usg5-4.h.
- (Any system that supports Internet should implement sockets.)
-
-Ultrix (-opsystem=bsd4-2)
-
- Recent versions of Ultrix appear to support the features of Berkeley 4.3.
- Ultrix was at the BSD 4.2 level for a long time after BSD 4.3 came out.
-
- Ultrix 3.0 has incompatibilities in its X library if you have the
- Ultrix version of X (UWS version 2.0). To solve them, you need to
- prevent XvmsAlloc.o in Xlib from being used. Israel Pinkas says:
-
- I added the following lines to config.h after the X defines:
-
- #if defined(ultrix) && defined(X11)
- #define OBJECTS_SYSTEM calloc.o
- #endif
-
- Then I ran the following:
-
- ar x /usr/lib/libc.a calloc.o
-
- The problem is said to be gone in UWS version 2.1.
-
-Uniplus 5.2 (-opsystem=unipl5-2)
-
- Works, on Dual machines at least.
-
-VMS (-opsystem=vmsM.N)
-
- Works except for certain features (directory listing, dired,
- sending and receiving mail) that use synchronous subprocesses.
- We need people to write alternative implementations of these
- facilities.
-
- The config file s/vms5-5.h may be right for some earlier versions;
- please let us know what happens when you try it in VMS versions 5.0 thru 5.4.
-
- Note that Emacs for VMS is usually distributed in a special
- VMS distribution. See the file ../VMSINSTALL for info on moving
- Unix distributions to VMS, and other VMS-related topics.
-
-Xenix
-
- Should work in 18.50, but you will need to edit the files
- lib-src/Makefile and src/ymakefile
- (see the comments that mention "Xenix" for what to change.)
- Compiling Emacs with -O is said not to work.
-
- If you want Emacs to work with Smail (installed as /usr/bin/smail)
- then add the line #define SMAIL to config.h.
-
- The file etc/XENIX suggests some useful things to do to Xenix
- to make the Emacs meta key work.
-Machines:
+Here are the configurations Emacs is intended to work with, with the
+corresponding configuration names. You can postpend version numbers
+to operating system names (i.e. sunos4.1) or architecture names (i.e.
+hppa1.1). If you leave out the version number, the `configure' script
+will configure Emacs for the latest version it knows about.

+
+ Works, on Vaxes and 3bxxx's.
+ There are some problems in 18.37 due to shortnames/cccp problems:
+ use the emacs 17 cpp if you have it.
+
+System V rel 2 (usg5.2)
+
+ Works on various machines.
+ On some (maybe all) machines the library -lPW exists and contains
+ a version of `alloca'. On these machines, to use it, put
+ #define HAVE_ALLOCA
+ #define LIB_STANDARD -lPW -lc
+ in the `src/m/MACHINENAME.h' file for the machine.
+
+ If you find that the character Meta-DEL makes Emacs crash,
+ find where function init_sys_modes in sysdep.c sets sg.c_cc[VQUIT]
+ and make it store 7 there. I have as yet no evidence of whether
+ this problem, known in HP-UX, exists in other system V versions.
+
+System V rel 2.2 (usg5.2.2)
+
+ In 5.2.2 AT&T undid, incompatibly, their previous incompatible
+ change to the way the nlist library is called. A different s- file
+ is used to enable the other interface.
+
+ They call themselves the right choice--can't they choose?
+
+ Emacs version 18 unexec is currently not working properly
+ on 5.2.2. Nobody knows why yet. A workaround is to define
+ NO_REMAP. It is not yet known whether this applies to all
+ machines running 5.2.2.
+
+System V rel 3 (usg5.3)
+
+ Some versions of this system support ptys and BSD-style sockets.
+ On such systems, you should define HAVE_PTYS and HAVE_SOCKETS in config.h.
+
+ If you want to link Emacs with shared libraries, define
+ USG_SHARED_LIBRARIES.
+
+System V rel 4 (usg5.4)
+
+ Supported, including shared libraries for ELF, but ptys do not
+ work because TIOCGPGRP fails to work on ptys.
+ This failure is probably due to a misunderstanding of the
+ consequences of the POSIX spec: many system designers mistakenly
+ think that POSIX requires this feature to fail. This is untrue;
+ ptys are an extension, and POSIX says that extensions *when used*
+ may change the action of standard facilities in any fashion.
+
+ The standard C preprocessor generate xmakefile incorrectly. However,
+ /lib/cpp will work, so use `make CPP=/lib/cpp'.
+
+ Versions 3 and earlier of V.4, on the Intel 386 and 860, had
+ problems in the X11 libraries. These prevent Emacs from working
+ with X. You can use Emacs with X provided your copy of X is based
+ on X11 release 4 or newer. Unfortunately, the only way you can tell
+ whether your X11 library is new enough is to try compiling Emacs to
+ use X. If xemacs runs, your X11 library is new enough.
+
+ In this context, GSV4 and GSV4i are alternate names for X11R4.
+ OL2.* is X11R3 based. OL3 is in between X11R3 and X11R4, and may or
+ may not work, depending on who made the Unix system. If the library
+ libXol is part of the X distribution, then you have X11R3 and Emacs
+ won't work with X.
+
+ Most versions of V.4 support sockets. If `/usr/lib/libsocket.so'
+ exists, your system supports them. If yours does not, you must add
+ #undef HAVE_SOCKETS in config.h, after the inclusion of s-usg5-4.h.
+ (Any system that supports Internet should implement sockets.)
+
+Ultrix (bsd4.3)
+
+ Recent versions of Ultrix appear to support the features of Berkeley 4.3.
+ Ultrix was at the BSD 4.2 level for a long time after BSD 4.3 came out.
+
+ Ultrix 3.0 has incompatibilities in its X library if you have the
+ Ultrix version of X (UWS version 2.0). To solve them, you need to
+ prevent XvmsAlloc.o in Xlib from being used. Israel Pinkas says:
+
+ I added the following lines to config.h after the X defines:
+
+ #if defined(ultrix) && defined(X11)
+ #define OBJECTS_SYSTEM calloc.o
+ #endif
+
+ Then I ran the following:
+
+ ar x /usr/lib/libc.a calloc.o
+
+ The problem is said to be gone in UWS version 2.1.
+
+Uniplus 5.2 (unipl5.2)
+
+ Works, on Dual machines at least.
+
+VMS (vmsM.N)
+
+ Works except for certain features (directory listing, dired,
+ sending and receiving mail) that use synchronous subprocesses.
+ We need people to write alternative implementations of these
+ facilities.
+
+ The config file s/vms5-5.h may be right for some earlier versions;
+ please let us know what happens when you try it in VMS versions 5.0
+ thru 5.4.
+
+ Note that Emacs for VMS is usually distributed in a special VMS
+ distribution. See the file ../vms/VMSINSTALL for info on moving
+ Unix distributions to VMS, and other VMS-related topics.
+
+Xenix (xenix)
+
+ Should work in 18.50, but you will need to edit the files
+ `lib-src/Makefile' and `src/ymakefile'
+ (see the comments that mention "Xenix" for what to change.)
+ Compiling Emacs with -O is said not to work.
+
+ If you want Emacs to work with Smail (installed as /usr/bin/smail)
+ then add the line #define SMAIL to config.h.
+
+ The file etc/XENIX suggests some useful things to do to Xenix
+ to make the Emacs meta key work.
