There are reports that IBM compiler versions - earlier than 1.03.00.02 fail even without -O. - - As of 19.11, if you strip the Emacs executable, it ceases to work. - - If anyone can fix the above problems, or confirm that they don't happen - with certain versions of various programs, we would appreciate it. - -** IBM System/390 running GNU/Linux (s390-*-linux-gnu) - - As of Emacs 21.2, a 31-bit only version is supported on this system. - -** Intel 386 (i386-*-freebsd, i386-*-linux-gnu, - i386-*-cygwin, i386-*-msdos, i386-*-windowsnt. - i386 can be replaced with i486, i586, or i686) - - In the above configurations, * means that the manufacturer's name - you specify does not matter, and you can use any name you like - (but it should not contain any dashes or stars). - - Use i386-*-linux-gnu for GNU/Linux systems; Emacs runs as of version 19.26. - Use i386-*-cygwin for Cygwin; Emacs builds as of version 22.1, in both X11 - and non-X11 modes. (The Cygwin site has source and binaries for 21.2.) - - On GNU/Linux systems, Emacs 19.23 was said to work properly with libc - version 4.5.21, but not with 4.5.19. - - On GNU/Linux, configure may fail to put these definitions in config.h: - - #define HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY - #define HAVE_MKDIR - #define HAVE_RMDIR - #define HAVE_XSCREENNUMBEROFSCREEN - - To work around the problem, add those definitions by hand. - It is possible that this problem happens only with X11R6. - Newer system versions have fixed it. - - On NetBSD and FreeBSD, at one time, it was necessary to use - GNU make, not the system's make. Assuming it's installed as gmake, - do `gmake install MAKE=gmake'. However, more recently it is - reported that using the system Make on NetBSD 1.3.1 works ok. - - Note that use of Linux with GCC 2.4 and the DLL 4.4 libraries - requires the experimental "net 2" network patches (no relation to - Berkeley Net 2). There is a report that (some version of) Linux - requires including `/usr/src/linux/include/linux' in buffer.c - but no coherent explanation of why that might be so. If it is so, - in current versions of Linux, something else should probably be changed. - - You may find that adding -I/usr/X/include or -I/usr/netinclude or both - to CFLAGS avoids compilation errors on certain systems. - - Some versions convince sysdep.c to try to use `struct tchars' - but define `struct tc' instead; add `#define tchars tc' - to config.h to solve this problem. - -** Iris 4D (mips-sgi-irix6.*) - - Emacs 21.3 is reported to work on IRIX 6.5.x. - - You can build a 64-bit executable (with larger maximum buffer size) - on Irix 6.5 by specifying the 64-bit ABI using the `-64' compiler - flag or otherwise (see cc(1)). - - If compiling with GCC on Irix 6 yields an error "conflicting types - for `initstate'", install GCC 2.95 or a newer version, and this - problem should go away. It is possible that this problem results - from upgrading the operating system without reinstalling GCC; so you - could also try reinstalling the same version of GCC, and telling us - whether that fixes the problem. - -** Sun 4 (sparc), Sun 386 (sparc-sun-solaris2.*, - i386-sun-solaris2.*, sparc*-*-linux-gnu) - - 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" 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. - - Some versions of Solaris 8 have a bug in their XIM (X Input Method) - implementation which causes Emacs to dump core when one of several - frames is closed. To avoid this, either install patch 108773-12 - (for Sparc) or 108874-12 (for x86), or configure Emacs with the - `--with-xim=no' switch (you can use Leim input methods instead). - - On Solaris 2.7, building Emacs with WorkShop Compilers 5.0 98/12/15 - C 5.0 failed, apparently with non-default CFLAGS, most probably due to - compiler bugs. Using Sun Solaris 2.7 Sun WorkShop 6 update 1 C - release was reported to work without problems. It worked OK on - another system with Solaris 8 using apparently the same 5.0 compiler - and the default CFLAGS. - - Emacs 21.1 and 21.2 built with Sun's ProWorks PC3.0.1 compiler on - Intel/Solaris 8 was reported to abort and dump core during startup. - Using GCC or a newer SUN compiler (Sun WokShop 6 update 2 C 5.3 - 2001/05/15) solves the problem. - - Emacs 20.5 and later work on SPARC GNU/Linux with the 32-bit ABI. - As of release 2.95, GCC doesn't work properly with the 64-bit ABI - (applicable on UltraSPARC), but that isn't the default mode. - - There are reports that using SunSoft cc with -xO4 -xdepend produces - bad code for some part of Emacs. - - Some people report that Emacs crashes immediately on startup when - used with a non-X terminal, but we think this is due to compiling - with GCC and failing to use GCC's "fixed" system header files. - - Some Sun versions of X windows use the clipboard, not the selections, - for transferring text between clients. The Cut, Paste and Copy items - in the menu bar Edit menu work with the clipboard. - - If you compile with Sun's ANSI compiler acc, you need additional options - when linking temacs, such as - /usr/lang/SC2.0.1/values-Xt.o -L/usr/lang/SC2.0.1/cg87 -L/usr/lang/SC2.0.1 - (those should be added just before the libraries) and you need to - add -lansi just before -lc. The precise file names depend on the - compiler version, so we cannot easily arrange to supply them. - - On Solaris 2, you need to install patch 100947-02 to fix a system bug. - Presumably this patch comes from Sun. You must alter the definition of - LD_SWITCH_SYSTEM if your X11 libraries are not in /usr/openwin/lib. - You must make sure that /usr/ucblib is not in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH. - - On Solaris, do not use /usr/ucb/cc. Use /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc. Make - sure that /usr/ccs/bin and /opt/SUNWspro/bin are in your PATH before - /usr/ucb. (Most free software packages have the same requirement on - Solaris.) With this compiler, use `/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -E' as the - preprocessor. If this inserts extra whitespace into its output (see - the PROBLEMS file) then add the option `-Xs'. - - If you have trouble using open-network-stream, get the distribution - of `bind' (the BSD name-server), build libresolv.a, and link Emacs - with -lresolv, by editing LIBRESOLV in src/Makefile. This problem is - due to obsolete software in the nonshared standard library. - - Note that Emacs on a Sun is not really as big as it looks. As - dumped, it includes around 200k of zeros between the original text - section and the original data section (now remapped as part of the - text). These are never swapped in. - -** SuperH (sh[34]*-*-linux-gnu) - - Emacs 23.0.60 was reported to work on GNU/Linux (October 2008). - Tested on a little-endian sh4 system (cpu type SH7751R) running - Gentoo Linux 2008.0. - * Here are notes about some of the systems supported: -** Linux (actually GNU/Linux) +** GNU/Linux Most of the complete systems which use the Linux kernel are close enough to the GNU system to be considered variant GNU systems.
