Can anybody help me?

I have grown quite accustomed to gnu-emacs over the last year.  Now, I
am working for a consulting firm who's development environment is
(to put it bluntly) out of the stone ages.  Everybody is using 'vi'
over here.

I have obtained a copy of the source for emacs.18.57 but have been
trying fruitlessly to compile it.

We are using SCO Unix System V release 3.2.2 with the development
set at least release 3.2.0.  There are no other C compilers around.
The computer is a Mylex i486.

Most of my problems occur when compiling the sysdeps.c module.  I also
get a large number of warnings dealing with unexpected characters
following the #endif directives and truncation of long identifiers.
Are these normal?

If there is anybody out there who has compiled gnu-emacs successfully
on SCO, I would really appreciate it if he/she would be able to tell
me how they went about doing the configurations before compiling
and during the installation.

Thank you.
