Subject: Success on SunOS-4.1.4
Mime-Version: 1.0 (generated by tm-edit 7.92)

Hi,

I got 19.15-b7 up and running on our SunOS-4.1.4 machines, I just had
to remove -lresolv out of sunos-4-1.h (we don't have that library).
I appended the configuration at the end of this message.

I liked the feature that VM-frames have different names than normal
XEmacs frames.  I patched x-toolbar to have that for Gnus too, so that
fvwm starts VM and Gnus on a different Desktop.  Probably this patch
is worth considered to put into the standard distribution:

--- x-toolbar.el        Sun Dec 29 01:15:23 1996
+++ x-toolbar.el.new    Wed Jan  8 13:06:17 1997

   "The frame in which news is displayed.")
 
+(defvar toolbar-news-frame-properties nil
+  "The properties of the frame in which news is displayed.")

   "Run Gnus in a separate frame."
   (interactive)
   (when (or (not toolbar-news-frame)
            (not (frame-live-p toolbar-news-frame)))

              (lambda ()
                (when (frame-live-p toolbar-news-frame)

With this patch, I am using the following lines in my .emacs:

;;; The following enables the windowmanager to distinguish normal
;;; XEmacs windows, windows created by VM and the Gnus window.
;;; Every frame created by VM gets the name "VM"
(setq vm-frame-parameter-alist '((folder ((name . "VM")))))
;;; The news frame is called "Gnus"
(setq toolbar-news-frame-properties `((name . "Gnus")))

Now, the configuration:
./configure  --dynamic=yes --prefix=/usr/local/new --with-dialogs=lucid

Configured for `sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4'.

  Where should the build process find the source code?    /usr/local/src/xemacs-19.15-b7
  What installation prefix should install use?            /usr/local/new
  What operating system and machine description files should XEmacs use?
        `s/sunos4-1-3-shr.h' and `m/sparc.h'
  What compiler should XEmacs be built with?              gcc  -g -O 
  Should XEmacs use the GNU version of malloc?            yes
  Should XEmacs use the relocating allocator for buffers? yes
  What window system should XEmacs use?                   x11
  Where do we find X Windows header files?                /usr/X11R5/include
  Where do we find X Windows libraries?                   /usr/X11R5/lib
