To whomever: I am trying desparately to get GNU-emacs running on an Stardent Titan computer. The processor used in this beast is a MIPS ( the old version of that chip, R2000 I believe ). The system is running SYSV release 3.0. The first problem was that the unexmips.c file was totally inappropriate for this machine. I hacked unexec.c to get it to compile, basically by ignoring the lnnoptr stuff, which the machine does not use. Next I had to translate some functions to their sysV equivalents, namely sigsetmask. At any rate, I got the thing to compile temacs, but then it crashes when building the faster-loading version (in batch mode). When I ran temacs by itself, the result is a floating-point error in the file crt0.o:_start. Fixing this last problem is certainly beyond my programming experience. I realize that the machine is somewhat obsure, and that you are busy with a thousand such questions per day, but any help you could give would be greatly appreciated, especially to those of us who can not stand vi anymore. Thank you. Robert Rundell Arizona State University rundell@enuxha.eas.asu.edu
