Hello
I am trying to install EMACS on a VMS 5.5 system. I copied the Unix
distribution to the VMS system and have compiled emacs etc. When I try
to run the build.com procedure to make the temacs.dump file, I get the
following:
CC4> @build
$ ! VMS command file to run `temacs.exe'and dump the data file 'temacs.dump'
$ if f$search("temacs.dump;") .nes. "" then delete temacs.dump;*
$ temacs :== $emacs_library:[src]temacs -batch
$ temacs -l inc-vers
Loading inc-vers...
New Emacs version will be 18.58.6
$ temacs -l loadup.el dump
Loading loadup.el...
Loading subr...
Loading loaddefs.el...
Loading simple...
Loading help...
Loading files...
Invalid read syntax: ") or . in a vector"
If I do the equivalent on my UNIX system, all is okay. What can I do to get
arround this problem?
Is there a copy of the VMS distribution available on a file server anywhere?
Thanks for your help.
Chris
