Subject: Working Gnu Emacs 18.59 for FreeBSD 1.1 Gamma? Also 'file' bug.
Date: 25 Apr 94 15:03:12
Organization: cisco Systems, Inc.
Lines: 94
Distribution: world
Message-ID: <CSHAKER.94Apr25150312@shaker-bsd.cisco.com>

When I've attempted to build Gnu emacs 18.59 from sources that built and ran
on FreeBSD 1.0.2, I got an error about '__DYNAMIC' being undefined. So, I
assumed that it was trying to use the dynamic shared libraries, so I did a
'make clean', and added '#define LD_SWITCH_MACHINE "-static"' to my
'src/config.h' file to force 'ld' to use static libraries.
Another thing to note is that the 'file' command in 1.1 Gamma thinks that
the '*.o' files that I built are PDP-11 executables!
I then can build Gnu emacs aok, *but*, when I attempt to run it, I get the
following garbage output and errors:

I've had other troubles while attempting to build Gnu emacs 19.22
I was happy to find that I am able to run the 18.59 emacs binaries that I
had built under FreeBSD 1.0.2 on 1.1 Gamma.
