I am porting GNU Emacs to LynxOS, a real-time Unix os. We have Berkeley signals, select(), FIONREAD, etc. We support both a.out and COFF format object files. This system looks like a 386i running BSD 4.3 for all intents and purposes. I have two problems. A.out xemacs doesn't work. It starts up and hangs. COFF xemacs works fine. As far as I can tell, our a.out format is identical to Berkeley's, and unexec.c should work. What should I look for when debugging this problem? Our gdb port isn't stable enough to handle Emacs. The other problem is that if you repeatedly send ^G to Emacs, such as by using the auto-repeat feature of your keyboard, one of two things will happen: You will return to the shell, as if ^Z (SIGTSTP) was typed, or Emacs will eventually ignore all ^Gs sent to it. Has anybody encountered problems like these? Help. problems -- James Buster bitbug@btr.com Seen on an MLS machine: Live Free or Die!
