>>> GNU Public Lincence applies to this file and <<< >>> the ones in this directory <<< This directory contains some patches that allow GNUemacs 18.55 to run under MINIX 1.5. Most of the difficult things work, dired, a dumped emacs, subprocesses. Though, don't expect it to be perfect. Copy the files src and etc to the GNUemacs 18.55 distribution diretcory and apply the patches -- They might work with earlier versions. All additions in *.c files are within ifdef's so they should not affect other compilations. This requires PC MINIX 1.5.10 (Prentice Hall's PC 1.5) Bruce Evans' 386 patches Richard Tobin's gcc implementation Other gcc implementations will probably work but the given makefiles expect Richard's gcc2minix program, you can probably change that bit. Other 32 bit extensions to MINIX may work too. This will be later tried on ST MINIX, this is probably a good start but you wont be able to dump. Installation ------------ Unpack GNUemacs18.55 source Copy etc/Makefile to the distibution's etc directory. Copy src/* to the distributions src directory. Apply all the patches. You can do this in sh by for i in *.cdiff do patch < $i done You should cd to the distribution's etc directory then type make make-docfile Then change back to the src file. make should build an emacs in xemacs. Follow the standard emacs documentation with regards installation (and customizing). We would like hear of any problems you have (and if it works at all), but we don't guarantee we'll fix anything.
