Hi,
I'm new to this group, so if this question has been asked before,
please be kind.
I have been trying to install epoch-4.0p0 on a DecStation 3100 with
Ultrix 4.2. Neither the debugger nor the info reader is working.
I suspect there may exist a problem with [mc]alloc, but I'm really not sure.
When the info reader is invoked it seems to point into another file that
exists in my home directory. ( an INBOX ) and barfs with an error
Symbol's value as variable is void: From
I have been using emacs and reading that news group for nearly four years,
and have never heard of this one.
The installation steps I have taken so far are;
1, copy $BUILD/src/config.h-dist to config.h
replace "config/s-sunos4-1.h" with
"config/s-bsd4-3.h" ( I also tried "config/s-bsd4-2.h")
replace "config/m-sparc.h" with
"config/m-pmax.h"
( I didn't want to build in the *right* place until I was sure
it would work. $BUILD == ~/epoch-4.0p0 )
2, Copy $BUILD/ascii/conf.h-dist to config.h
replace "../src/config/m-vax.h" with
"../src/config/m-pmax.h"
3, Copy src/paths.h-dist to src/paths.h
replace all occurances of "/usr/local/epoch" with
"$BUILD"
4, Copy ascii/paths.h-dist to ascii/paths.h
replace all occurances of "/usr/local/epoch" with
"$BUILD"
5, Edit build-install
replace all occurances of "/usr/local/epoch" with
"$BUILD"
6, Examine src/paths.h - it's OK.
7, Examine lisp/paths.el - it's OK.
8, Examine compiler switches in src/ymakefile, ascii/ymakefile. - OK
9, Edit Makefile,
replace all occurances of "/usr/local/epoch" with
"$BUILD"
replace /usr/local/bin with ~/bin.
replace /usr/local/man with ~/man.
10, make install.
The compilation runs to completion without any significant complaints.
Generally, the entire system works. ( I'm writing this memo on it )
Anyone who has seen this behavior is urged to write to me.
Thanks in advance
Mark.
