The port did not support the swinstall compatible packages, though. Porting to AIX (>=4.3) is actually trivial (the new xlc behaves like a usual unixy C compiler by default) as long as you don't need Athena widget set--I could not find a precompiled libXaw, and compiling this myself requires more time than I'm ready to invest. Warning: job control seems to be BSD-ish and autoconf tends to detect SYSV job control which makes XEmacs shell and compile mode unreliable. /Marino > -- Rico > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
