I was trying to compile GNU Emacs-19.14 on my machine when I ran across
an annoying problem: the stuff in lib-src wants access to the IPC stuff
(it didn't do that in 19.12: I guess this must be new). In anycase, now
that I'm running 0.99.10, the IPC support is built into the kernel,
but what about /usr/include/sys/{ipc,msg,sem,shm}.h and /usr/lib/libipc.a
which you need to build programs? I couldn't find them with the kernel
source (makes sense), or with libc 4.4. I tried using the stuff from
ipcdelta.tar.z, but that seems to date back to March and the corresponding
include files in /usr/include/linux don't match with the ones which are
supposed to go into /usr/include/sys or the source to libipc.a.
So can anyone tell me how to get a working set of /usr/include/sys include
files and a libipc.a?
Thanks in advance,

I've had this problem. The solution is simple. Go grab the IPC delta
package. Yes I know it was written for pl9. get it anyways. unpack it some
where. In the directory it creates (I forget the name, I'm not near my home
machine right now) there is a director called test. go to test and type
make libipc This should build the bugger. mv libipc to /usr/lib or some
such thing. Good luck.

You should change all occurrences of KERNEL to __KERNEL__ in the
include files sys/*.h and libipc.c
0. Ignore the README files
1. Install the sys/*.h includes
2. Edit the same includes as above
3. Edit libipc.c as above
4. make libipc.a
5. Install it and use -lipc to link programs that use it.
HJ has put out sources for inclusion of the ipc syscalls in libc
Unfortunately no one seems to have built it yet ...

My, what has that been done for. Its good to have SYSV IPC there in
case some crippled program needs it, but why does emacs suddenly start
to use it?!?

The following lines appeared in linux.h (for 19.15):
/* Rob Malouf <mal...@csli.stanford.edu> says:
SYSV IPC is standard a standard part of Linux since version 0.99pl10,
and is a very common addition to previous versions. */
#define LIBS_MACHINE -lipc
#define HAVE_SYSVIPC
1) Linux 0.99.10 has been out for only a few weeks, and not everyone in the
Linux community has upgraded.
2) Although IPC support is provided in the "standard" Linux 0.99.10 kernel,
it is an installation *option*. So even people who have upgraded don't
necessarily have IPC.
3) libipc.a does not come with 0.99.10. The new libc (4.4.1) will have ipc
suport built in, so the LIBS_MACHINE line is now anachronistic, and should
be removed as soon as libc 4.4.1 is available publically (1-2 weeks?).
4) I understand that this change was made so that emacsserver and
emacsclient would work. In point of fact, these programs already worked.
5) If there is some over-riding reason why Emacs 19 needs IPC under Linux,
then that reason should be explained in detail. Otherwise, I think that,
in the interest of making all of Emacs 19 usable on as many Linux systems
as possible, HAVE_SYSVIPC should be removed from linux.h
