I am trying to build emacs ver 18.59 on a SparcClassic running Solaris 2.1.
I am using gcc -traditional -L/usr/openwin/lib, and my LD_LIBRARY_PATH is also set
to /usr/openwin/lib. libX11.so.4 lives in that directory... but when the
makefile goes to link.. it can't find it:

make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `xemacs'
Curre./temacs -batch -l inc-vers
ld.so.1: ./temacs: can't find file libX11.so.4
*** Signal 9
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `xemacs'
Currnt working directory /opt/gnu/emacs-18.59/src
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `doall'
Current working directory /opt/gnu/emacs-18.59/src
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `src'

Any suggestions? I'm going nuts using vi!

Thanks,
Alan

I did this installation yesterday, and I must say it was the easiest emacs installation
I have ever performed.

I think that the only modifications I did was to put the emacs stuff is:

/opt/emacs

and the excutables in /opt/bin

Then in src/config.h:

#include "s-sol2.h"

#include "m-sparc.h"

#define HAVE_X_WINDOWS


I did have trouble with make install, and had to move the three
executables to /opt/bin:

etc/emacsclient
etc/etags
src/emacs-18.59.1

Yup. You need to set an environment variable like this:

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/openwin/lib:/usr/ucblib

well, the way i did it was to set my LD_LIBRARY_PATH to have
/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/openwin/lib

i was kinda' hoping they would have fixed this.... :-\

I think this is bad advice. I don't recommend building software that
requires a user to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Rather, use the -R option
when you build it, so that the program has the library path builtin.
Here's what is in our xmakefile:

LIBES = -R/usr/lib:/usr/local/X11R5/lib:/usr/ucblib:/usr/ccs/lib -L/usr/ccs/lib -L/usr/ucblib -L/usr/local/X11R5/lib -ltermcap $(LIBX) $(GNULIB_VAR) -lsocket -lnsl -lelf -lc -lucb /opt/cygnus/lib/crtn.o

Note that this works only with GCC 2.3.3. If you're using the
original Cygnus distribution, you'll need -Xlinker before the -R in
order to get gcc to pass the -R option to ld. I'm inclined to think
that /usr/lib: at the beginning of the -R option is not necessary.
If you're using openwin, of course you'd use /usr/openwin/lib instead
of /usr/local/X11R5/lib.

Wow. Well, I didn't know about -Xlinker -R!
