Hello all!

Yesterday I compiled the new emacs v18.59 on my 486 running 386bsd v0.1.
I used the standard cc (ie gcc 1.39) but will try gcc 2.2.2 with -O2 soon.

I compiled with X11 support and the X menu enabled.

There were only minor problems: 

 o  there is no libg.a in /usr/lib -- I just created an empty one (I'm not
    sure what happens but I strip my executable anyway :-)

 o  one change in oldXmenu/Makefile has to be made: Change oldXMenu/Makefile by
    adding insque.o to the variable OBJS (from the PROBLEMS file)

 o  I used the X libs from the XFree distribution, but I didn't want to copy or
    link them into /usr/lib so I had to change src/xmakefile to include a
    -L/usr/lib/X11 (xmakefile is generated via make all in src).

I suggest that you get the complete emacs-18.59.tar.Z because you need the
support files anyway, but if you can't compile emacs I could ftp a copy of the
binary to a server of your choice :-)

Thanks to L&BJ and RMS!
