ELM on Iris

[Steve Couturie]

OK:  To make ELM 2.3 Patch 11 work on Iris 4D:

Do the Configure.

Edit config.sh:

	d_vfork='undef'		vfork causes ELM to fail to make locks
	d_flock='define'	Sets locking style:  This works for me.
	d_flockonly='undef'		ditto
	libc='/usr/lib/libc_s.a'    Use shareable library
	optimize='-O'		    Optimize it (why not!)
	ccflags='-D_BSD_SIGNALS'    Use BSD style signals 
					-- found "sigvec" in source
	libs='-lsun -lc_s'	"-lsun" makes it work with YP.

Then:

sh ./config.h.SH
sh ./Makefile.SH
( cd doc; sh Makefile.SH )
( cd filter; sh Makefile.SH)
( cd hdrs; sh sysdefs.SH)
( cd src; sh Makefile.SH)
( cd utils; sh Makefile.SH)

I also, however, get the error from "filter" when it tries to lock
the system mailbox file.  Filter commands like "savecopy" do this; 
I have no trouble with filter commands like "save <pathname>" though
[I archive info-iris this way.]  In order to keep incoming mail in
the system mailbox, my .forward has both the "| filter ..." line and
a line for sendmail to store everything in the default mailbox: "\shc".
This works.

(Filter does not use the same locking code as ELM itself does.  This is
not a feature :-) and I suppose should be fixed by the keepers of ELM.)

Any other ideas out there?

Steve
