I have just installed emacs on a Sun3 with the SunOS 4.0.3. I am installing over X11R4 which was compiled (at least partly) with GNU c compiler ( I set the HASGCC flag in the config file for X11). I compiled emacs with the folowing flags set in config.h: HAVE_SUN_WINDOWS (before #include "m-sun3.h") HAVE_X_WINDOWS I have installed emacs with the HAVE_X_MENU flag both set and not set. The following errors occur: 1) The unmodified mousebuttons do not give the correct response. The left button sets the point (in any window), but middle simply dumps the last text selected by dragging button 1. It will dump text from within or out of emacs. The third button copies text (into the mouse buffer) from the point to the mouse's position. 2) I am unsure whether or not the SHIFT-<button> or the CTRL-<button> defaults are working properly, but SHIFT-CTRL-RightButton does give the correct function (keep-one-window). If emacs was compiled using HAVE_X_WINDOWS, when I do SHIFT-CTRL- Left/MiddleButton I get the error "Unknown Xmenu" and emacs hangs. This may be the problem listed as #62 in the FAQ document, but there's no solution there. Incidentally, I got out of this by using CTRL-z in the terminal window. Two interesting things occurred: a) The hung emacs had to be killed with a kill -9 command and b) The (stopped) process was burning cpu time like crazy. I have an xload performance monitor that was reading at the same level as when I compiled emacs. If I compiled emacs without the HAVE_X_WINDOWS flag set, the same mouse button press gives the error "Unknown Symbol: x-popup-menu", but at least it isn't fatal. Do you know why these are occurring? I'm using the twm window manager if that helps. Thanks, Jay Bourland jay_b@cauchy.stanford.edu
