You need to use the cc3 and ld3 scripts to build Emacs for Nextstep
under Openstep 4.0.
I have installed the 3.3 Developer System under /3.3Dev on my 4.0
System. If you need to install it in another place, you have to
modify the scripts accordingly.
You have to link the ld3 script into the 3.3Dev tree, once for each
architecture as /3.3Dev/lib/{arch}/ld, ie.
delight:/3.3Dev/lib> find . -name ld -ls
181357 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 13 Nov 14 17:54 ./m68k/ld -> ../../bin/ld3
182509 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 13 Nov 14 17:54 ./i386/ld -> ../../bin/ld3
186684 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 13 Nov 14 17:54 ./hppa/ld -> ../../bin/ld3
190769 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 13 Nov 14 17:54 ./sparc/ld -> ../../bin/ld3
These are the relevant switches and options I give to configure to
compile under OS4.0 and the above setup:
CC="/usr/local/bin/cc3 -pipe" ./configure --without-gcc
--without-gcc is necessary as otherwise configure will not honor CC.
With this setup, beta6 compiles and runs, upon startup you get a warning
in the console about an unparsable color list. This is because there
is a new color list format which the old NXColorList doesn't support
(btw, you get this warning with any application when you open the
color panel)
cc3 is a script Tom Hageman <tom@basil.icce.rug.nl> posted to some
next newsgroup some time ago. You can get a copy of cc3 and ld3 from
ftp://nice.ethz.ch/pub/emacs-for-ns/Contrib/
