This is from etc/MACHINES, as of GNU Emacs 18.57: IBM PS2 (m-ibmps2-aix.h; s-usg5-2-2.h or s-usg5-3.h) Changes mostly merged in 18.55. You may need to put an #ifndef AIX conditional around the definition of closedir in sysdep.c, and perhaps delete the #include of sioctl.h. You may need to copy /usr/lib/samples/hft/hftctl.c to the Emacs src directory. Use s-usg5-3.h on AIX 1.2. s-usg5-2-2.h should work on either AIX 1.1 or 1.2, but may not work with certain new X window managers, and may be suboptimal. You can get it from prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu (but I have only used it on a RS/6000). You might try also the fileutils etc., they're much nicer tyhan the usual vendor supplied versions. -- -tho =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Thorsten Ohl, Technische Hochschule Darmstadt, Schlossgartenstr. 9, 6100 Darmstadt, Federal Republic of Germany Phone: +49-6151-16-3472 (office), +49-6151-45223 (home) e-mail: , ,
