cannot build XEmacs 21.4.22 on HP-UX
Denis Laroche
with the HP C compiler.
It works up to creating the temacs executable, but it then fails with
the following message:
./temacs -nd -batch -l /home/limpet/ex36672/tools/dist/xemacs-21.4.22/
src/../lisp/update-elc.el
Error before initialization is complete!
Fatal error: assertion failed, file /home/limpet/ex36672/tools/dist/
xemacs-21.4.22/src/eval.c, line 1880, ABORT()
make[1]: *** [update-elc.stamp] IOT trap (core dumped)
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp_mnt/home/limpet/ex36672/tools/dist/
xemacs-21.4.22-hppa/src'
make: *** [src] Error 2
Here's the configure command I used:
../xemacs-21.4.22/configure --prefix=/home/limpet/ex36672/tools --exec-
prefix=/home/limpet/ex36672/tools/hppa64 --dynamic --with-modules --
site-includes=/home/limpet/ex36672/tools/include --site-libraries=/
home/limpet/ex36672/tools/hppa64/lib --with-menubars=lucid --compiler=/
bin/cc --cflags="-Ae +DA2.0W -O -I/home/limpet/ex36672/tools/include"
--ldflags="+DA2.0W -L/home/limpet/ex36672/tools/hppa64/lib"
Did anyone ever manage to build a 64 bit version of XEmacs on HP-UX?

Did a little search on google. Maybe the following is useful for you:
