I have 19.22 running on UnixWare.  I built it more than a year ago, on UW
1.0, so I dont't actually remember what I did to get it to compile.  It
wasn't much, though; as I recall, it built fairly cleanly.  I vaguely
recall a problem with temacs, but I don't remember what I did to fix it ...

In any case, I can try to send you the binary, split if necessary.
Send me mail if you want to go that route.

scott,

i have compiled and installed gnu emacs 19.28 using both cc and gcc.
i have done this under both uw 1.1.1 and 1.1.2.  a few thoughts:

1. i used configure i486-sysv4.2 ... then edited the Makefiles to add
compiler options for 486 code and remove -g debugging.

2. when using the stock cc, i had to edit the configure file so the
sysv4.2 worked like sysv4.1 (ie specify /lib/cpp as NON_GNU_CPP
because cc -E under unixware does some f*cked up things).  i would not
recommend using -O with the uw cc under any conditions.

3. when using gcc (i used 2.6.1 and the stock uw libraries), it
configured, compiled and installed without a hitch.  i have read that
there are some quirks with 2.6.2 but i don't know that this would
account for your sig 11.

for the most part, both emacs installations worked fine.  i ended up
keeping and using the version compiled with gcc because emacs compiled
with the stock uw cc would memory fault consistantly when trying to
use gnus.  (i first noticed this fault under 19.27, emacs 19.25 worked
flawlessly when compiled with the stock uw cc).

bottom line, emacs and uw work well together, under both x and curses.

i'd offer you binaries but i have no easy way to make a distribution.
if you continue to hit a wall installing emacs, let me know and i'll
try to send you something.

I was able to get Emacs (19.27 I think) to compile.  The way I was able
to get the configure script to run was to not use /bin/sh but /bin/ksh.
You will need to change the first line to:

#!/bin/ksh

Then add as the second line:

set -x

And run ./configure 2>errors

Hope this helps.

It may be easier to get it precompiled from ftp.novell.de.  Also, I found
it easier to compile the GNU cc, but if you use the UnixWare SDK, one
change I beleive you still need to do is have it use /usr/ccs/lib/cpp for
some c preprocessor stuff it needs instead of using cc.  cc has a different
C preprocessor, and gives emacs grief.

What is the ftp path at ftp.novell.de to get the latest, greatest precompiled
version?

Thanks,

I've compiled 19.26, 27 and 28 with no problems using the stock 'cc'.
temacs, however, also core dumps for me using gcc 2.6.[012].
