      /jan/ Hi,

      /jan/ I got epoch 4.2 just now and tried to build it on a HP9000/720
      /jan/ running HP-UX 8.07.  I used HP:s cc. epoch 4.1 builds and runs
      /jan/ just fine.  I haven't EIGHTBIT_KEYBOARD defined. I use the
      /jan/ same config.h as I did in 4.1.

      /jan/ It compiles OK, but when it comes to 	./temacs -batch -l
      /jan/ ../epoch-lisp/inc-vers this happems:

      /jan/ % ./temacs -batch -l ../epoch-lisp/inc-vers Loading
      /jan/ ../epoch-lisp/inc-vers...  SELECT ERROR : NOT A SCREEN!  Abort

Somehow Epoch is getting into screen.c:x_select_screen when it
shouldn't.  Dunno how yet.  Doesn't happen on our HP 720:

HP-UX cocobolo A.B8.05 A 9000/720 2002606721

Anybody else see this?

      /jan/ It doesn't matter if I compile with or without optimization.

      /jan/ I tried this also:

      /jan/ % ./temacs -batch -l ../epoch-lisp/loadup.el dump Loading
      /jan/ ../epoch-lisp/loadup.el...  Loading subr...  ...  Finding
      /jan/ pointers to doc strings...done Dumping under names epoch and
      /jan/ epoch-4.2.0

      /jan/ and it worked! The resulting binary seems to be OK (I haven't
      /jan/ run it very long). It still doesn't give me a startup message
      /jan/ so I guess the fix in 4.2 isn't effective on HP-UX :-(.

The binary won't be quite right, since you probably won't have the
emacs-version routine or variable or
emacs-built-time/emacs-build-system (from version.el).

Probably the startup message is aborting since emacs-version doesn't
exist.

      /jan/ If you wan't I can give you stack traces from the 'SELECT
      /jan/ ERROR' crach.

Please do...

Marc
