This is a list of the status of GNU Emacs on various machines and systems.
|
||
|
||
Information about older releases, and platforms that are no longer
|
||
supported, has been removed. Consult older versions of this file if
|
||
you are interested in this information.
|
||
|
||
The `configure' script uses the configuration name, and the results of
|
||
testing the system, to decide which options to use in src/config.h and
|
||
elsewhere (eg Makefiles).
|
||
|
||
If you add support for a new configuration, add a section to this
|
||
file, and edit the `configure.ac' source as needed.
|
||
|
||
Some obsolete platforms are unsupported beginning with Emacs 23.1. See
|
||
the list at the end of this file.
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Here are notes about some of the systems supported:
|
||
|
||
** GNU/Linux
|
||
|
||
Most of the complete systems which use the Linux kernel are close
|
||
enough to the GNU system to be considered variant GNU systems. We
|
||
call them "Linux-based GNU systems," or GNU/Linux for short.
|
||
|
||
It is not coincidence that many of the other components used with
|
||
Linux--including GNU Emacs--were developed specifically for the GNU
|
||
project. The GNU project was launched in 1984 to develop a free
|
||
complete Unix-like operating system. To reach this goal, we had to
|
||
develop whatever system components were not available as freely
|
||
redistributable software from some other source.
|
||
|
||
The GNU project wants users of GNU/Linux systems to be aware of how
|
||
these systems relate to the GNU project, because that will help
|
||
spread the GNU idea that software should be free--and thus encourage
|
||
people to write more free software. For more information, see
|
||
<http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html>.
|
||
|
||
*** 64-bit GNU/Linux
|
||
|
||
No special procedures should be needed to build a 64-bit Emacs on a
|
||
64-bit GNU/Linux system. To build a 32-bit Emacs, first ensure that
|
||
the necessary 32-bit system libraries and include files are
|
||
installed. Then use:
|
||
|
||
./configure CC='gcc -m32' --build=i386-linux-gnu \
|
||
--x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib
|
||
|
||
(using the location of the 32-bit X libraries on your system).
|
||
|
||
*** IBM System/390 running GNU/Linux (s390-*-linux-gnu)
|
||
|
||
As of Emacs 21.2, a 31-bit only version is supported on this system.
|
||
|
||
*** SuperH (sh[34]*-*-linux-gnu)
|
||
|
||
Emacs 23.0.60 was reported to work on GNU/Linux (October 2008).
|
||
This was tested on a little-endian sh4 system (cpu type SH7751R) running
|
||
Gentoo Linux 2008.0.
|
||
|
||
** Mac OS X
|
||
|
||
For installation instructions see the file nextstep/INSTALL.
|
||
|
||
** Microsoft Windows
|
||
|
||
For installation instructions see the file nt/INSTALL.
|
||
|
||
** MS-DOS
|
||
|
||
For installation instructions see the file msdos/INSTALL.
|
||
See the "MS-DOS" chapter of the manual for information about using
|
||
Emacs on MS-DOS.
|
||
|
||
** Solaris
|
||
|
||
On Solaris it is also possible to use either GCC or Solaris Studio
|
||
to build Emacs, by pointing ./configure to the right compiler:
|
||
|
||
./configure CC='/usr/sfw/bin/gcc' # GCC
|
||
./configure CC='cc' # Solaris Studio
|
||
|
||
On Solaris, do not use /usr/ucb/cc. Use /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc. Make
|
||
sure that /usr/ccs/bin and /opt/SUNWspro/bin are in your PATH before
|
||
/usr/ucb. (Most free software packages have the same requirement on
|
||
Solaris.) With this compiler, use `/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc -E' as the
|
||
preprocessor. If this inserts extra whitespace into its output (see
|
||
the PROBLEMS file) then add the option `-Xs'.
|
||
|
||
To build a 64-bit Emacs (with larger maximum buffer size) on a
|
||
Solaris system which supports 64-bit executables, specify the -m64
|
||
compiler option. For example:
|
||
|
||
./configure CC='/usr/sfw/bin/gcc -m64' # GCC
|
||
./configure CC='cc -m64' # Solaris Studio
|
||
|
||
** Irix 6.5
|
||
|
||
Emacs versions later than 24.4 will not compile on Irix by default.
|
||
(Note that SGI stopped supporting Irix in December 2013.)
|
||
You should be able to work around the problem either by porting the
|
||
Emacs undumping code to GCC under Irix, or by configuring --with-wide-int.
|
||
Older versions of Emacs 24 (and 23?) also had problems on Irix.
|
||
It *may* be possible to build Emacs <= 24.4 on Irix 6.5 with an old
|
||
version (3.1) of gcc. Newer versions of gcc may not work.
|
||
See <http://debbugs.gnu.org/9684>.
|
||
|
||
|
||
* Obsolete platforms
|
||
|
||
Support for many obsolete platforms was removed in Emacs 23.1.
|
||
If for some reason you encounter an ancient machine where current
|
||
Emacs does not compile, try an older release like Emacs 22.3.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Local variables:
|
||
mode: outline
|
||
fill-prefix: " "
