Hi,
Since recent changes from Yamamoto Mitsuharu for OS9 support, i am now able
to build Emacs for that platform.
Following an advice from Stefan Monnier to get rid of the 512 MB memory
limit I also defined USE_LSB_TAG and it seems that it works correctly with
OS9.
However, if some common tasks work (calendar, dired, ...) i tried to launch
Gnus and it failed with the following:
Loading gnus...done
Loading gnus-start...
Loading executable...done
Loading easymenu...done
Loading gnus-start...done
Loading gnus-agent...
shell-command-to-string: Searching for program: bad file number, sh
I remember that with the 20.6 version for OS9 (that was maintained by Andrew
Choi ?) there was a Binaries folder with sh and hexl dummy binaries. They
did nothing but Emacs used to look for the presence of these binaries.
I tried to recompile the old versions and put them along the Emacs binary
but i failed then on another problem :
shell-command-to-string: Doing vfork: bad file number
This error does not really talk to me...
Are the old dummy binaries still necessary for proper execution of some
tasks ? What is still missing ? Or is there some tasks that are not
available to the OS9 platform ?
Thanks for some info.
