23 PREREQUISITES | |
24 ============= | |
404 | 25 |
442 | 26 Make sure your system has enough swapping space allocated to handle a |
27 program whose pure code is 900k bytes and whose data area is at least | |
1338 | 28 400k and can reach 8Mb or more. Note that a typical XEmacs process |
29 can get much bigger: the instance this sentence was written with is | |
30 over 100MB! If the swapping space is insufficient, you will get an | |
442 | 31 error in the command `temacs -batch -l loadup dump', found in |
32 `./src/Makefile.in.in', or possibly when running the final dumped | |
33 XEmacs. | |
0 | 34 |
442 | 35 Verify that your users have a high enough stack limit. On some systems |
1036 | 36 such as OpenBSD and OSF/Tru64 the default is 2MB which is too low. On |
2648 | 37 MacOS/X (Darwin) before 10.3, it's 512kB. See 'PROBLEMS' for details. |
424 | 38 |
39 Building XEmacs requires about 100 Mb of disk space (including the | |
1338 | 40 XEmacs sources). Once installed, XEmacs occupies between 20 and 100 |
41 MB in the file system where it is installed; this includes the | |
42 executable files, Lisp libraries, miscellaneous data files, and | |
43 on-line documentation. The exact amount depends greatly on the number | |
44 of extra Lisp packages that are installed. | |
149 | 45 |
2427 | 46 XEmacs requires an ANSI C compiler, such as GCC. If you wish to build the |
47 documentation yourself, you will need at least version 1.68 of makeinfo (GNU | |
48 texinfo-3.11). GNU Texinfo 4.2 is recommended; it is necessary for building | |
49 Lisp packages, and we may move to it for the core. | |
149 | 50 |
1338 | 51 A note on terminology: unfortunately the terms "library" and "package" |
52 are heavily overloaded. In the following, "library" refers to an | |
53 external body of executable code which may be linked with XEmacs at | |
54 build time to provide support for system features, such as images, | |
55 audio, stream compression, databases, and input methods. A "Lisp | |
56 library" is a file of Lisp code which may be loaded into XEmacs at | |
57 run-time to provide editor features. A "package" is a specially | |
58 prepared Lisp library or set of Lisp libraries, providing for easy | |
59 installation, upgrade, and removal of applications written in Lisp. | |

1338 | 71 |
72 ADD-ON LIBRARIES | |
73 ================ | |
74 | |
75 Decide which libraries you would like to use with XEmacs, but are not | |
1375 | 76 yet available on your system. On some systems, X11, Motif and CDE are |
3018 | 77 optional additions. On MacOS/X systems prior to 10.2, you may download |
78 X11R6 for Mac OS X from http://www.apple.com/macosx/x11/download/. In | |
79 later releases X11 is available as an optional package on the | |
80 installation CDs. In either case you need both the runtime libraries | |
81 and the SDK (in a sidebar of that page at the time of writing). There | |
82 is also a 3rd-party implementation of X11R6 for the Mac at | |
83 http://www.xdarwin.org/. On Solaris, the SUNWaudmo package enables | |
84 native sound support. There are also a number of free software | |
85 applications that XEmacs can use. If these are not yet available on | |
86 your system, obtain, build and install those external libraries before | |
87 building XEmacs. The libraries XEmacs can use are: | |
1338 | 88 |
89 Xaw3d, XPM, JPEG, compface, PNG, zlib, GNU DBM, Berkeley DB, socks, | |
90 term, NAS, Canna, Kinput2, SJ3, Wnn, PostgreSQL, LDAP. | |
91 | |
92 You can get (most of) them from the XEmacs FTP archive at | |
93 <ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/aux>. Information about what | |
94 each library does is available in the file | |
95 <ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/aux/00README.txt>. | |
96 | |
2648 | 97 Use the `--with-site-includes' and `--with-site-libraries' options when |
98 building XEmacs to allow configure to find the external software | |
99 packages. For your convenience these can be set together by using the | |
100 `--with-site-prefixes' option. This will set these variables as needed | |
1338 | 101 assuming your libraries are organised as a typical /usr tree. |
102 | |
103 If you link dynamically with external libraries, usually denoted by | |
2648 | 104 ".so" (Unix), ".dll" (Windows), or ".dylib" (MacOS) file extensions, on |
105 some systems you may also need to add the library directories to the | |
106 `--with-site-runtime-libraries' option. It is typically necessary only | |
1338 | 107 if you link with dynamic libraries that are installed in non-standard |
2648 | 108 directories, or if you expect some of the libraries used to build XEmacs |
109 to be in a different directory at run time than at build time. | |
1338 | 110 |
111 NOTE: This option has unusual semantics. ONLY libraries found in the | |
112 directories specified in this option will be used at runtime. This | |
113 means you must specify ALL directories you want searched at runtime in | |
114 this option (perhaps excluding a very small number of standard system | |
115 library paths). | |
116 | |
2648 | 117 Directories specified with `--with-site-libraries' are NOT automatically |
118 added. The rationale is that most users will not need this option, and | |
119 this allows the builder to specify exactly the needed directories. | |
120 Specifying unnecessary directories leads to obscure problems (typically | |
121 startup delays) if those directories are mounted over a network, and the | |
122 automounter configuration changes. Not all systems need this option; | |
123 it's best to avoid using it if you can. | |
1338 | 124 |
125 Dynamic linking has pros and cons. Dynamically linking 3rd party | |
126 libraries to XEmacs decreases the size of the binary, and means you | |
127 don't need to rebuild XEmacs to take advantage of improvements in the | |
128 libraries. On the other hand, XEmacs can fail subtly if the semantics | |
129 of a library changes, other users may not be able to use your | |
130 "private" copies of the libraries, and you may have to relink XEmacs, | |
131 or even omit the feature, if the ABI changes when the libraries are | |
132 upgraded. | |
424 | 133 |
442 | 134 CONFIGURATION OPTIONS |
135 ===================== | |
269 | 136 |
442 | 137 In the top level directory of the XEmacs distribution, run the |
138 program `configure' as follows: | |
0 | 139 |
149 | 140 ./configure [CONFIGURATION-NAME] [--OPTION[=VALUE]] ... |
0 | 141 |
3018 | 142 Options are generally of the form `--with-FEATURE' or |
143 `--enable-FEATURE' to use a feature or `--without-FEATURE' or | |
144 `--disable-FEATURE' to not use a feature. Unlike the `configure' | |
145 program used in other applications, either `--with-FEATURE' or | |
146 `--enable-FEATURE' can be used to use the same feature. | |
147 | |
3050 | 148 If you haven't built XEmacs 21.5 recently, the change from the |
149 configure script based on Autoconf 2.13 can be a shock. Appendix: | |
150 Correspondence to Old Configure Options (at the end of this document) | |
151 contains a list of old options and their new equivalents. | |
152 | |
1338 | 153 Controlling the Host Type |
154 ------------------------- | |
155 | |
243 | 156 Almost always, you should let `configure' (actually the shell script |
157 `config.guess') guess your host type, by omitting the | |
149 | 158 CONFIGURATION-NAME argument. If you like to experiment, specify a |
159 configuration name in the form MACHINE-VENDOR-OPSYS, for example: | |
160 | |
161 sparc-sun-solaris2.6 | |
162 | |
163 See config.guess and configure.in for valid values for MACHINE, | |
164 VENDOR, and OPSYS. Also check `./etc/MACHINES' for advice on building | |
165 on particular machines. | |
0 | 166 |
1338 | 167 Specifying Location of Headers and Libraries |
168 -------------------------------------------- | |
169 | |
2648 | 170 The `--with-site-includes=DIR' and `--with-site-libraries=DIR' options |
171 allow you to specify additional places the compiler should look for | |
172 include files and object libraries. You may specify multiple DIR's by | |
1338 | 173 enclosing the list in quotes. All the external libraries you want to |
174 use with XEmacs (e.g. xpm, wnn, ...) described later should have their | |
175 include and library directories defined using these options. | |
176 | |
2648 | 177 The `--with-site-runtime-libraries=DIR' option specifies directories to |
1338 | 178 search for shared libraries at run time. If you use this option, you |
179 must specify ALL of the directories containing shared libraries at run | |
180 time, including system directories. Please read the information about | |
181 "ADD-ON LIBRARIES" above very carefully. | |
0 | 182 |
183 The `--x-includes=DIR' and `--x-libraries=DIR' options tell the build | |
184 process where the compiler should look for the include files and | |
185 object libraries used with the X Window System. Normally, `configure' | |
186 is able to find them; these options are necessary if you have your X | |
187 Window System files installed in unusual places. | |
188 | |
1338 | 189 Configuring the Build Process |
190 ----------------------------- | |
149 | 191 |
2648 | 192 The `--with-gcc=PROGRAM' option specifies that the build process should |
193 compile XEmacs using GCC. The `--with-compiler' option allows you to | |
194 specify some other compiler to be used to compile XEmacs. If neither | |
195 option is specified, the environment variable CC is used instead. | |
196 Otherwise the compiler will then default to 'cc'. | |
201 | 197 |
2648 | 198 The `--with-xemacs-compiler=PROGRAM' option specifies the compiler |
199 control program for the xemacs binary only. Other C code will be | |
200 compiled according to the `--with-gcc' and `--with-compiler' options | |
201 above. This is useful if you wish to compile XEmacs with a C++ | |
202 compiler, because the utilities in ./lib-src cannot be compiled as C++. | |
203 This option is primarily intended for use by the maintainers. | |
0 | 204 |
2648 | 205 The `--with-cflags=FLAGS' option specifies all of the CFLAGS the build |
206 process should use when compiling XEmacs, except for flags controlling | |
207 warning generation. Otherwise the value of the environment variable | |
208 CFLAGS is consulted. If that is also undefined, CFLAGS defaults to "-g | |
209 -O" for gcc and "-g" for all other compilers. | |
0 | 210 |
2648 | 211 The `--with-cflags-warning=FLAGS' option specifies the warnings to be |
1338 | 212 generated. There is normally no reason to use this flag, as XEmacs |
3050 | 213 turns on as many warnings as possible, and is still intended to build |
214 with no warnings. If you get any undocumented warnings, please report | |
215 them as bugs---they very often are, or at least indicate possible | |
216 bitrot. | |
594 | 217 |
2648 | 218 The `--with-cflags-optimization=FLAGS' option specifies the |
3050 | 219 optimizations to be used. There is normally no reason to use this |
220 flag, as XEmacs will already set the maximum safe optimization flags | |
221 appropriate for the compiler being invoked. | |
2648 | 222 |
223 The `--with-cflags-debugging=FLAGS' option specifies debugging | |
3050 | 224 information to be generated. You should avoid using this flag, as it |
225 makes most severe or fatal bugs hard-to-impossible to diagnose and | |
226 fix. Debugging information does not slow down XEmacs at runtime, and | |
227 it doesn't make the binary very much bigger. | |
2648 | 228 |
3050 | 229 The `--with-dynamic' option specifies that configure should try to |
230 link XEmacs dynamically rather than statically. `--with-static' | |
231 specifies the reverse. XEmacs's configure script detects whether | |
232 dynamic linking can be done on all platforms we know of; these options | |
233 are normally unnecessary. | |
234 | |
235 The `--with-modules' option specifies that XEmacs be built with | |
236 support for runtime loadable modules. NOTE TO OEMS: XEmacs can be | |
237 distributed configured to support several options based on external | |
238 APIs (currently LDAP, PostgreSQL, and Canna) as loadable modules. You | |
239 can distribute an XEmacs binary package with these options enabled | |
240 without depending on the external package. XEmacs will fail | |
241 gracefully at runtime, issuing an error message indicating that the | |
242 required support was not found on the system. | |
0 | 243 |
244 You can build XEmacs for several different machine types from a single | |
245 source directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that | |
442 | 246 supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. Create separate |
0 | 247 build directories for the different configuration types, and in each |
248 one, run the XEmacs `configure' script. `configure' looks for the | |
1338 | 249 Emacs source code in the directory that `configure' is in. The |
250 `--srcdir' option may not work correctly (traditionally it was | |
251 overridden by the directory containing `configure'). | |
252 | |
253 Configuring the Installation Layout | |
254 ----------------------------------- | |
0 | 255 |
256 The `--prefix=PREFIXDIR' option specifies where the installation process | |
257 should put XEmacs and its data files. This defaults to `/usr/local'. | |
258 - XEmacs (and the other utilities users run) go in PREFIXDIR/bin | |
259 (unless the `--exec-prefix' option says otherwise). | |
260 - The architecture-independent files go in PREFIXDIR/lib/xemacs-VERSION | |
276 | 261 (where VERSION is the version number of XEmacs, like `21.0'). |
0 | 262 - The architecture-dependent files go in |
243 | 263 PREFIXDIR/lib/xemacs-VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME |
264 (where CONFIGURATION-NAME is the host type, like mips-dec-ultrix4.2), | |
0 | 265 unless the `--exec-prefix' option says otherwise. |
266 | |
267 The `--exec-prefix=EXECDIR' option allows you to specify a separate | |
268 portion of the directory tree for installing architecture-specific | |
269 files, like executables and utility programs. If specified, | |
270 - XEmacs (and the other utilities users run) go in EXECDIR/bin, and | |
271 - The architecture-dependent files go in | |
243 | 272 EXECDIR/lib/xemacs-VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME. |
0 | 273 EXECDIR/bin should be a directory that is normally in users' PATHs. |
274 | |
442 | 275 If you specify --prefix (or any of the other installation directory |
276 options), they will get compiled into the xemacs executable so it will | |
1338 | 277 be able to find its various associated files. However, XEmacs has |
442 | 278 quite elaborate logic to find out the locations of these directories |
279 dynamically. Sometimes, it is desirable *not* to compile these | |
280 directories into the executable so you can move the XEmacs | |
281 installation around (as whole) at will. This is true for binary kits, | |
282 for instance. Therefore, you can specify --without-prefix on the | |
283 configure command line to prevent the installation prefix to become | |
284 part of the generated executable; everything else will continue to | |
285 work as usual. | |
0 | 286 |
1338 | 287 Configuring Feature Support |
288 --------------------------- | |
289 | |
290 If you don't want X Window System support, specify `--without-x'. If | |
291 you omit this option, `configure' will try to autodetect whether your | |
292 system has X Window System support, and arrange to use it if present. | |
293 | |
3050 | 294 The `--with-menubars=TYPE' option allows you to specify which X |
0 | 295 toolkit you wish to use for the menubar. The valid options are |
149 | 296 `lucid', `motif' and `no'. The default is `lucid' which is a |
0 | 297 Motif-lookalike menubar. We highly recommend its usage over the real |
298 Motif menubar. (In fact, the Motif menubar is currently broken.) If | |
149 | 299 `no' is specified then support for menubars will not be compiled in. |
0 | 300 |
3050 | 301 The `--with-scrollbars=TYPE' option allows you to specify which X |
0 | 302 toolkit you wish to use for the scrollbars. The valid options are |
149 | 303 `lucid', `motif', `athena', `athena3d', and `no'. The default is |
2648 | 304 `lucid' which is a Motif-lookalike scrollbar. If `no' is specified then |
305 support for scrollbars will not be compiled in. | |
0 | 306 |
3050 | 307 The `--with-dialogs=TYPE' option allows you to specify which X toolkit |
219 | 308 you wish to use for the dialog boxes. The valid options are `athena', |
243 | 309 `athena3d', `motif, and `no. The `lucid' option is accepted and will |
310 result in the `athena' toolkit being used. If the Motif toolkit can be | |
311 found the default is `motif'. Otherwise, the default is `athena'. If | |
2648 | 312 `no' is specified then support for dialog boxes will not be compiled in. |
0 | 313 |
3050 | 314 The `--with-toolbars' option allows you to enable or disable toolbar |
1338 | 315 support. The default is `yes' if support for a windowing system is |
316 included. | |
0 | 317 |
149 | 318 The `--with-xpm' option specifies that XEmacs should support X11 |
0 | 319 Pixmaps. `configure' will attempt to detect if you have the Xpm |
320 libraries and define `--with-xpm' for you. | |
321 | |
322 The `--with-xface' option specifies that XEmacs should support | |
323 X-Faces. `configure' will attempt to detect if you have the compface | |
324 library and define `--with-xface' for you. | |
325 | |
3050 | 326 The `--with-database' option specifies that XEmacs should be built |
1338 | 327 with simple database support. The valid options are `no' or a |
0 | 328 comma-separated list of one or more of `dbm', `gnudbm' or `berkdb'. |
329 `configure' will attempt to detect the necessary libraries and header | |
3050 | 330 files and define `--with-database' for you. |
0 | 331 |
1338 | 332 The `--with-postgresql' option specifies that XEmacs should be built |
333 with PostgreSQL support, linking with libpq. `configure' will attempt | |
334 to detect whether PostgreSQL support is available, and automatically | |
3050 | 335 define `--with-postgresql' for you. NOTE TO OEMS: If modules are |
336 supported and enabled, the libpq API support will be build as a | |
337 module. | |
1338 | 338 |
339 The `--with-ldap' option specifies that XEmacs should be build with | |
340 LDAP support, using the OpenLDAP libraries. `configure' will attempt | |
341 to detect whether LDAP support is available, and automatically define | |
3050 | 342 `--with-ldap' for you. NOTE TO OEMS: If modules are supported and |
343 enabled, the OpenLDAP API support will be build as a module. | |
1338 | 344 |
0 | 345 The `--with-socks' option specifies that XEmacs should be built with |
149 | 346 SOCKS support. This requires the libsocks library. |
0 | 347 |
3050 | 348 The `--with-external-widget' option specifies that XEmacs should be |
2648 | 349 built with support for being used as a widget by other X11 applications. |
1338 | 350 This functionality should be considered beta. |
351 | |
3050 | 352 The `--with-sound=TYPE' option specifies that XEmacs should be built |
353 with sound support. Native (`--with-sound=native') sound support is | |
1338 | 354 currently available only on Sun SparcStations, SGI's, HP9000s, and |
355 systems (such as Linux) with soundcard.h. Network Audio Support (NAS) | |
3050 | 356 (`--with-sound=nas') is an extension to X that you may or may not have |
2648 | 357 for your system. For NAS, you will probably need to provide the paths |
358 to the nas include and library directories to configure. If | |
3050 | 359 `--with-sound' is not specified, `configure' will attempt to determine |
360 if your configuration supports native sound and define --with-sound | |
2648 | 361 for you. If your native sound library is not in a standard location you |
362 can specify it with the `--with-native-sound-lib=LIB' flag. For Linux, | |
363 `/dev/audio' is required for SunAudio files and `/dev/dsp' is required | |
364 for raw data and WAVE format files. | |
1338 | 365 |
0 | 366 The `--with-tooltalk' option specifies that XEmacs should be built |
367 with ToolTalk support for interconnecting with other applications. | |
243 | 368 ToolTalk is not yet supported on all architectures. If you use this |
369 option, you should have the tooltalk package (see etc/PACKAGES) | |
370 installed prior to building XEmacs. | |
0 | 371 |
372 The `--with-sparcworks' option specifies that XEmacs should be built | |
149 | 373 with support for Sun Sparcworks 3.0.1 and up (including Sun WorkShop). |
374 This functionality is only of use on SunOS 4.1.x and Solaris 2.x | |
272 | 375 systems. If you use this option, you should have the Sun package (see |
243 | 376 etc/PACKAGES) installed prior to building XEmacs. |
0 | 377 |
149 | 378 The `--with-cde' option allows you to enable or disable CDE drag and |
0 | 379 drop support. `configure' will attempt to detect this option and |
380 define `--with-cde' for you. | |
381 | |
272 | 382 The `--with-offix' option allows you to enable or disable OffiX drag |
383 and drop support. This requires no external library support, so if | |
384 X11 support is available, then this option defaults to `yes'. OffiX | |
274 | 385 support can be explicitly disabled via the `--with-offix=no' option. |
2 | 386 |
1338 | 387 Internationalization Options |
388 ---------------------------- | |
0 | 389 |
3050 | 390 The `--with-mule' option enables MUlti-Lingual Emacs (Mule) support, |
1338 | 391 needed to support non-Latin-1 (including Asian) languages. Mule |
392 support is required for Asian language and Unicode (multibyte and wide | |
393 character) support. With the advent of the Euro and European | |
394 Community expansion, Mule support is also recommended for Western | |
395 Europeans. Enabling Mule support requires the mule-base package | |
396 installed prior to building XEmacs. The `--with-xim', --with-xfs', | |
397 `--with-canna', `--with-wnn' and `--with-wnn6' options require | |
398 Mule support. | |
149 | 399 |
400 The `--with-xim' option enables use of the X11 XIM mechanism to allow | |
401 an input method to input text into XEmacs. The input method is shared | |
402 among all the X applications sharing an X display and using the same | |
151 | 403 language. The XIM support comes in two flavors: `motif' and `xlib'. |
404 The Motif support (the XmIm* functions) is preferred when available. | |
243 | 405 The xlib XIM support works reasonably well so long as the X11 libraries |
406 are recent enough. It has been fairly well tested on Linux with glibc | |
407 2.0.5 and 2.0.6 and Kinput2 as an XIM server. In this configuration | |
408 X11 must be recompiled with X_LOCALE defined because glibc is lacking | |
409 localization for Japanese. The XIM support defaults to `no' except | |
410 when Motif is detected where it is stable with OSF libraries. The XIM | |
411 support in Lesstif (a Free Motif replacement) does not work as of | |
412 v0.82. If you enable this option, you will probably wish to install | |
413 the `locale' package which contains localized Splash screens and | |
414 Menubars. | |
415 | |
272 | 416 The `--with-xfs' option enables use of a multilingual Menubar. At the |
243 | 417 present time, only Japanese and French locales are supported. In |
272 | 418 order to use a multilingual Menubar you must have the `locale' package |
243 | 419 installed. The `locale' package does not have to be installed when |
420 building XEmacs. | |
149 | 421 |
422 The `--with-canna' option enables the use of the Canna Japanese input | |
243 | 423 method. This is stable code and fairly well tested. In order to use |
2283 | 424 it, you will have to have the Canna server installed and running. Canna |
425 versions 3.2pl2, 3.5b2, and 3.7p3 are known to work. Version 3.2pl2 is | |
426 considered more stable than version 3.5b2; the stability of 3.7p3 is | |
427 still unknown. If Canna is already installed, configure will autodetect | |
428 it, so you never need to explicitly use this option unless your Canna | |
429 libraries are somewhere strange. Canna run time support is currently | |
430 bundled with the `mule-base' package so there is nothing additional to | |
3050 | 431 install in order to use it. NOTE TO OEMS: If modules are supported |
432 and enabled, the libcanna API support will be build as a module. | |
0 | 433 |
243 | 434 The `--with-wnn' and `--with-wnn6' options are for compiling with the Wnn |
435 multi-language input method. `--with-wnn' is for compiling with Wnn-4.2, | |
436 the Free version of WNN. `--with-wnn6' is for compiling against WNN6, | |
437 the commercial version of WNN available from OMRON Corporation. This is | |
438 stable code and fairly well tested. In order to build with this | |
439 option, you will need to have the `egg-its' lisp package already | |
440 installed. | |
441 | |
442 Please note that it is safe to build with as many of the options | |
443 `--with-xim', `--with-canna' and `--with-wnn' as your system | |
444 supports. | |
104 | 445 |
1338 | 446 Options for Developers and Special Requirements |
447 ----------------------------------------------- | |
448 | |
2648 | 449 The `--with-rel-alloc' option can be used to either enable or disable |
450 use of the relocating allocator. Turning on --with-rel-alloc will allow | |
451 XEmacs to return unused memory to the operating system, thereby reducing | |
452 its memory footprint. However, it may make XEmacs runs more slowly, | |
1338 | 453 especially if your system's `mmap' implementation is missing or |
2648 | 454 inefficient. Generally, it's best to go with the default configuration |
455 for your system. You can tweak this based on how you use XEmacs, and | |
456 the memory and cpu resources available on your system. | |
1338 | 457 |
458 The `--with-system-malloc' option can be used to either enable or | |
459 disable use of the system malloc. Generally, it's best to go with the | |
460 default configuration for your system. Note that on many systems | |
461 using the system malloc disables the use of the relocating allocator. | |
462 | |
463 The `--with-debug-malloc' option can be used to link a special | |
464 debugging version of malloc. Debug Malloc is not included with XEmacs | |
465 and is intended for use only by the developers. It may be obtained | |
466 from <URL:http://www.letters.com/dmalloc/>. | |
467 | |
2648 | 468 The `--enable-debug' and `--enable-error-checking' options are primarily |
469 useful to the developers. `--enable-debug' incorporates code for | |
470 performing various tests, but does not impose a speed penalty. | |
471 `--enable-error-checking' adds additional tests to many of the commonly | |
472 used macros, and imposes a speed penalty. Using either or both of these | |
473 options can make bug reports more useful to the developers. | |
1338 | 474 |
2648 | 475 The `--verbose' option is useful only to the developers. It displays |
476 additional information, useful for debugging `configure'. | |
1338 | 477 |
442 | 478 MAIL LOCKING |
479 ============ | |
480 | |
845 | 481 For most platforms, configure or the src/s file have the preferred |
482 method for locking mail spool files preconfigured. Otherwise you must | |
483 find out for youself. Do not choose a locking protocol "on the | |
484 objective merits." XEmacs must use the same method as other mail | |
1338 | 485 utilities on your system, or you WILL lose mail. |
845 | 486 |
487 Presently, XEmacs supports lockf, flock, and dot locking. Specify the | |
2648 | 488 locking method via the --with-mail-locking=METHOD option to configure. |
489 Valid values for METHOD are --with-mail-locking are `lockf', `flock', | |
490 and `dot'. | |
442 | 491 |
492 RUNNING CONFIGURE | |
493 ================= | |
494 | |
149 | 495 `configure' doesn't do any compilation or installation itself. It |
496 just creates the files that influence those things: `./src/config.h', | |
1338 | 497 and all the Makefiles in the build tree. |
104 | 498 |
0 | 499 When it is done, `configure' prints a description of what it did and |
500 creates a shell script `config.status' which, when run, recreates the | |
501 same configuration. If `configure' exits with an error after | |
1338 | 502 disturbing the status quo, it removes `config.status'. If `configure' |
503 doesn't work as expected, the file `config.log' contains details of | |
504 the tests run and their results. | |
0 | 505 |
442 | 506 AUXILIARY PATHS |
507 =============== | |
508 | |
509 Look at `./lisp/paths.el'; if some of those values are not right for | |
510 your system, set up the file `./lisp/site-init.el' with XEmacs Lisp | |
511 code to override them; it is not a good idea to edit paths.el itself. | |
512 YOU MUST USE THE LISP FUNCTION `setq' TO ASSIGN VALUES, rather than | |
513 `defvar', as used by `./lisp/paths.el'. For example, | |
0 | 514 |
515 (setq news-inews-program "/usr/bin/inews") | |
516 | |
517 is how you would override the default value of the variable | |
518 news-inews-program (which is "/usr/local/inews"). | |
519 | |
520 Before you override a variable this way, *look at the value* that the | |
521 variable gets by default! Make sure you know what kind of value the | |
522 variable should have. If you don't pay attention to what you are | |
523 doing, you'll make a mistake. | |
524 | |
392 | 525 Things may malfunction if the variable `directory-abbrev-alist' is not |
526 set up to translate "temporary" automounter mount points into the | |
527 canonical form. XEmacs tries to detect how your automounter is | |
528 configured. If you have an unusual automounter configuration that | |
529 XEmacs cannot detect, you may need to change the value of | |
530 `directory-abbrev-alist'. | |
371 | 531 |
442 | 532 SITE-SPECIFIC STARTUP CODE |
533 ========================== | |
534 | |
535 Put into `./lisp/site-init.el' or `./lisp/site-load.el' any Emacs Lisp | |
536 code you want XEmacs to load before it is dumped out. Use | |
0 | 537 site-load.el for additional libraries if you arrange for their |
538 documentation strings to be in the lib-src/DOC file (see | |
539 src/Makefile.in.in if you wish to figure out how to do that). For all | |
540 else, use site-init.el. | |
541 | |
542 Note that, on some systems, the code you place in site-init.el must | |
543 not use expand-file-name or any other function which may look | |
544 something up in the system's password and user information database. | |
545 See `./PROBLEMS' for more details on which systems this affects. | |
546 | |
547 The `site-*.el' files are nonexistent in the distribution. You do not | |
548 need to create them if you have nothing to put in them. | |
549 | |
442 | 550 TERMCAP CONFIGURATION |
551 ===================== | |
552 | |
553 Refer to the file `./etc/TERMS' for information on fields you may | |
0 | 554 wish to add to various termcap entries. The files `./etc/termcap.ucb' |
555 and `./etc/termcap.dat' may already contain appropriately-modified | |
556 entries. | |
557 | |
442 | 558 RUNNING MAKE |
559 ============ | |
560 | |
561 Run `make' in the top directory of the XEmacs distribution to finish | |
0 | 562 building XEmacs in the standard way. The final executable file is |
1338 | 563 named `src/xemacs'. You can execute this file in place without |
0 | 564 copying it, if you wish; then it automatically uses the sibling |
565 directories ../lisp, ../lib-src, ../info. | |
566 | |
1338 | 567 Or you can install the executable and the other XEmacs into their |
568 permanent locations, with `make install'. By default, XEmacs's files | |
0 | 569 are installed in the following directories: |
570 | |
571 `/usr/local/bin' holds the executable programs users normally run - | |
388 | 572 `xemacs', `etags', `ctags', `b2m', `emacsclient', `ellcc', |
4782

changeset
|
573 `gnuclient', `gnudoit', and `gnuattach'. |
0 | 574 |
575 `/usr/local/lib/xemacs-VERSION/lisp' holds the Emacs Lisp libraries; | |
576 `VERSION' stands for the number of the XEmacs version | |
577 you are installing, like `18.59' or `19.14'. Since | |
578 the lisp libraries change from one version of XEmacs to | |
579 another, including the version number in the path | |
580 allows you to have several versions of XEmacs installed | |
581 at the same time; this means that you don't have to | |
582 make XEmacs unavailable while installing a new version. | |
583 | |
584 XEmacs searches for its lisp files in these | |
585 directories, and then in | |
586 `/usr/local/lib/xemacs/site-lisp/*'. | |
587 | |
588 `/usr/local/lib/xemacs-VERSION/etc' holds the XEmacs tutorial, the | |
589 `yow' database, and other architecture-independent | |
590 files XEmacs might need while running. VERSION is as | |
591 specified for `.../lisp'. | |
592 | |
593 `/usr/local/lib/xemacs/lock' contains files indicating who is | |
594 editing what, so XEmacs can detect editing clashes | |
595 between users. | |
596 | |
597 `/usr/local/lib/xemacs-VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME' contains executable | |
598 programs used by XEmacs that users are not expected to | |
599 run themselves, and the DOC file. `VERSION' is the | |
600 number of the XEmacs version you are installing, and | |
243 | 601 `CONFIGURATION-NAME' is the host type of your system. |
602 Since these files are specific to the version of | |
603 XEmacs, operating system, and architecture in use, | |
604 including the configuration name in the path allows | |
605 you to have several versions of XEmacs for any mix of | |
606 machines and operating systems installed at the same | |
607 time; this is useful for sites at which different | |
608 kinds of machines share the file system XEmacs is | |
609 installed on. | |
0 | 610 |
388 | 611 `/usr/local/lib/xemacs-VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME/modules' holds the Emacs |
612 dynamically loadable modules. These are special programs | |
613 typically written in C that can be loaded in much the same | |
614 way that Lisp packages are. Not all systems support | |
615 dynamic modules, so do not be alarmed if this directory | |
616 does not exist or is empty. | |
617 | |
618 XEmacs searches for modules in this directory, or any | |
619 sub-directory of it, and then in | |
620 `/usr/local/lib/xemacs/site-modules/*'. | |
621 | |
0 | 622 `/usr/local/lib/xemacs-VERSION/info' holds the on-line documentation |
623 for XEmacs, known as "info files". | |
624 | |
625 `/usr/local/man/man1' holds the man pages for the programs installed | |
626 in `/usr/local/bin'. | |
627 | |
628 If these directories are not what you want, you can specify where to | |
629 install XEmacs's libraries and data files or where XEmacs should search | |
630 for its lisp files by giving values for `make' variables as part of | |
442 | 631 the command. |
0 | 632 |
633 You can change where the build process installs XEmacs and its data | |
634 files by specifying values for `make' variables as part of the `make' | |
635 command line. For example, if you type | |
636 | |
637 make install bindir=/usr/local/gnubin | |
638 | |
639 the `bindir=/usr/local/gnubin' argument indicates that the XEmacs | |
640 executable files should go in `/usr/local/gnubin', not | |
641 `/usr/local/bin'. | |
642 | |
643 Here is a complete list of the variables you may want to set. | |
644 | |
645 `bindir' indicates where to put executable programs that users can | |
646 run. This defaults to /usr/local/bin. | |
647 | |
648 `datadir' indicates where to put the architecture-independent | |
649 read-only data files that XEmacs refers to while it runs; it | |
650 defaults to /usr/local/lib. We create the following | |
651 subdirectories under `datadir': | |
652 - `xemacs-VERSION/lisp', containing the XEmacs lisp libraries, and | |
653 | |
654 - `xemacs-VERSION/etc', containing the XEmacs tutorial and the | |
655 `yow' database. | |
656 `VERSION' is the number of the XEmacs version you are installing, | |
657 like `18.59' or `19.14'. Since these files vary from one version | |
658 of XEmacs to another, including the version number in the path | |
659 allows you to have several versions of XEmacs installed at the | |
660 same time; this means that you don't have to make XEmacs | |
661 unavailable while installing a new version. | |
662 | |
663 `statedir' indicates where to put architecture-independent data files | |
664 that XEmacs modifies while it runs; it defaults to | |
665 /usr/local/lib as well. We create the following | |
666 subdirectories under `statedir': | |
667 - `xemacs/lock', containing files indicating who is editing | |
668 what, so XEmacs can detect editing clashes between | |
669 users. | |
670 | |
671 `libdir' indicates where to put architecture-specific data files that | |
672 XEmacs refers to as it runs; it too defaults to `/usr/local/lib'. | |
673 We create the following subdirectories under `libdir': | |
674 - `xemacs-VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME', containing executable | |
675 programs used by XEmacs that users are not expected to run | |
1338 | 676 themselves, and the DOC file. |
0 | 677 `VERSION' is the number of the XEmacs version you are installing, |
243 | 678 and `CONFIGURATION-NAME' is the host type of your system. |
679 Since these files are specific to the version of XEmacs, | |
680 operating system, and architecture in use, including the | |
681 configuration name in the path allows you to have several | |
682 versions of XEmacs for any mix of machines and operating | |
683 systems installed at the same time; this is useful for sites | |
684 at which different kinds of machines share the file system | |
685 XEmacs is installed on. | |
0 | 686 |
687 `infodir' indicates where to put the info files distributed with | |
688 XEmacs; it defaults to `/usr/local/lib/xemacs-VERSION/info'. | |
689 | |
690 `mandir' indicates where to put the man pages for XEmacs and its | |
691 utilities (like `etags'); it defaults to | |
692 `/usr/local/man/man1'. | |
693 | |
694 `prefix' doesn't give a path for any specific part of XEmacs; instead, | |
695 its value is used to determine the defaults for all the | |
696 architecture-independent path variables - `datadir', | |
697 `statedir', `infodir', and `mandir'. Its default value is | |
698 `/usr/local'; the other variables add on `lib' or `man' to it | |
699 by default. | |
700 | |
701 For example, suppose your site generally places GNU software | |
702 under `/usr/users/software/gnusoft' instead of `/usr/local'. | |
703 By including | |
704 `prefix=/usr/users/software/gnusoft' | |
705 in the arguments to `make', you can instruct the build process | |
706 to place all of the XEmacs data files in the appropriate | |
707 directories under that path. | |
708 | |
709 `exec_prefix' serves the same purpose as `prefix', but instead | |
710 determines the default values for the architecture-dependent | |
711 path variables - `bindir' and `libdir'. | |
712 | |
713 The above variables serve analogous purposes in the makefiles for all | |
714 GNU software; here are some variables specific to XEmacs. | |
715 | |
716 `lispdir' indicates where XEmacs installs and expects its lisp | |
717 libraries. Its default value, based on `datadir' (see above), | |
718 is `/usr/local/lib/xemacs-VERSION/lisp' (where `VERSION' is as | |
719 described above). | |
720 | |
721 `sitelispdir' indicates where XEmacs should search for lisp libraries | |
722 specific to your site. XEmacs checks them in order before | |
723 checking `lispdir'. Its default value, based on `datadir' | |
724 (see above), is `/usr/local/lib/xemacs/site-lisp'. | |
725 | |
726 `etcdir' indicates where XEmacs should install and expect the rest of | |
727 its architecture-independent data, like the tutorial and yow | |
728 database. Its default value, based on `datadir' | |
729 (see above), is `/usr/local/lib/xemacs-VERSION/etc' (where | |
730 `VERSION' is as described above). | |
731 | |
732 `lockdir' indicates the directory where XEmacs keeps track of its | |
733 locking information. Its default value, based on `statedir' | |
734 (see above), is `/usr/local/lib/xemacs/lock'. | |
735 | |
736 `archlibdir' indicates where XEmacs installs and expects the | |
737 executable files and other architecture-dependent data it uses | |
738 while running. Its default value, based on `libdir' (see | |
739 above), is `/usr/local/lib/xemacs-VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME' | |
740 (where VERSION and CONFIGURATION-NAME are as described above). | |
741 | |
420 | 742 `docdir' indicates where to put Lisp documentation strings that XEmacs |
442 | 743 refers to as it runs. It defaults to the value of `archlibdir' |
420 | 744 (see above). |
745 | |
388 | 746 `moduledir' indicates where XEmacs installs and expects to find |
747 any dynamic modules. Its default value, based on | |
748 `archlibdir' (see above) is | |
749 `/usr/local/lib/xemacs-VERSION/CONFIGURATION-NAME/modules' | |
750 (where VERSION and CONFIGURATION-NAME are as described above). | |
751 By their very nature, dynamic loadable modules are architecture- | |
442 | 752 dependent, and care should be taken not to set this directory |
753 to a system- or architecture-independent directory. | |
388 | 754 |
0 | 755 Remember that you must specify any variable values you need each time |
756 you run `make' in the top directory. If you run `make' once to build | |
757 xemacs, test it, and then run `make' again to install the files, you | |
758 must provide the same variable settings each time. To make the | |
759 settings persist, you can edit them into the `Makefile' in the top | |
760 directory, but be aware that running the `configure' program erases | |
761 `Makefile' and rebuilds it from `Makefile.in'. | |
762 | |
763 The top-level Makefile stores the variable settings it used in the | |
764 Makefiles for the subdirectories, so you don't have to specify them | |
765 when running make in the subdirectories. | |
766 | |
442 | 767 Using GNU Make allows for simultaneous builds with and without the |
768 --srcdir option. | |

1283 | 770 STRIPPING BINARIES |
771 ================== | |
772 | |
773 This saves nothing but a small (by modern standards) amount of disk | |
774 space; the symbol table is not loaded into memory at execution time. | |
775 If you do encounter a crash or other serious bug, the first thing the | |
776 developers will do is ask you to build an XEmacs with a full symbol | |
777 table, anyway. Don't strip the XEmacs binary. | |
778 | |
442 | 779 MAIL-LOCKING POST-INSTALLATION |
780 ============================== | |
0 | 781 |
442 | 782 If your system uses dot-locking to interlock access to mailer inbox |
783 files, then you might need to make the movemail program setuid or | |
784 setgid to enable it to write the lock files. We believe this is safe. | |
785 The setuid/setgid bits need not be set on any other XEmacs-related | |
786 executables. | |
0 | 787 |
442 | 788 CLEANING UP |
789 ========== | |

442 | 791 You are done with the hard part! You can remove executables and |
792 object files from the build directory by typing `make clean'. To also | |
793 remove the files that `configure' created (so you can compile XEmacs | |
794 for a different configuration), type `make distclean'. | |

996 The output files produced by this new configure should be almost | |
997 identical to those produced by the old. This can be tested with the | |
998 provided regression test script. This script runs the two versions of | |
999 configure with the supplied list of command line arguments and reports | |
1000 any differences. Please add your favorite configuration command lines | |
1001 to the list before running the test. The script is run as: | |
1002 | |
1003 $ tests/autoconf/regressiontest.pl /absolute/path/to/2.13/configure \ | |
1004 /absolute/path/to/2.59/configure >diffs.txt | |
1005 | |
1006 The only differences should be: | |
1007 - those related to changes in the command line arguments | |
1008 - the change of SYS_SIGLIST_DECLARED to HAVE_DECL_SYS_SIGLIST (because the old | |
1009 form has been removed), and | |
1010 - The removal of trailing comments in src/config.h. | |
