7 Currently XEmacs for Win32 is in an early stage of development.
|
|

|
9 The port was made much easier by the groundbreaking work of Geoff Voelker
|
|
|
10 and others who worked on the GNU Emacs port to NT. Their version is available
|
|
|
11 from http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html
|
|
|
12
|
|
|
13 To get it working you will need:
|
|
155
|
14
|
|
213
|
15 1. You will need Visual C++ V4.2 or later to compile everything. Personally we
|
|
|
16 have tested V4.2 and V5.0.
|
|
|
17 Note that Visual C++ assumes a couple of environment variables INCLUDE and
|
|
|
18 LIB to be set which specify the location of the includes and libraries.
|
|
|
19 At this point you can select X or Win32 native support.
|
|
276
|
20 2. Grab the latest XEmacs beta from ftp.xemacs.org if necessary. All Win32
|
|
|
21 support is in the nt/ subdirectory. You'll also need the xemacs-base
|
|
|
22 package from the binary-packages subdirectory and you'll probably alsi
|
|
|
23 want at least the edit-utils, text-utils, cc-mode and prog-utils packages.
|
|
|
24 Unpack the packages into, say, c:\src\xemacs\packages.
|
|
|
25
|
|
|
26 If you want to build for native GUI:
|
|
|
27
|
|
|
28 1. If you want XPM and toolbar support grab the latest version of the xpm
|
|
|
29 sources (xpm-3.4k.tar.gz at time of writing) and unpack it.
|
|
|
30 Copy nt/xpm.mak from the xemacs distribution to the lib subdirectory of
|
|
|
31 the xpm distribution, cd to that directory and build xpm with
|
|
|
32 `nmake -f xpm.mak`.
|
|
|
33 2. cd to the nt subdirectory of the xemacs distribution and build xemacs:
|
|
|
34 `nmake -f xemacs.mak HAVE_MSW=1 PATH_PACKAGEPATH="c:/src/xemacs/packages"`,
|
|
|
35 replacing "c:/src/xemacs/packages" with the location of your packages. Note
|
|
|
36 the double quotes and *forward* slashes in that path.
|
|
|
37 If you're building with XPM support, add this to the nmake command line:
|
|
|
38 `HAVE_XPM=1 XPM_DIR=x:\location\of\your\xpm\source\tree`.
|
|
|
39 Nmake will build temacs, the DOC file, update the elc's and dump xemacs.
|
|
|
40 3. The build process creates debugging and "Source Browser" information for
|
|
|
41 use with MS DevStudio. To use this create a new "console" project and
|
|
|
42 under Project/Settings set:
|
|
|
43 Debug: executable name = full path of src\xemacs.exe
|
|
|
44 Link: output file name = full path of src\temacs.exe
|
|
|
45 Browse Info: browse info file name = full path of src\temacs.bsc
|
|
|
46 Remember to close the Source Browser file in DevStudio before rebuilding.
|
|

|
47
|
|
|
48 If you want support for X you will need:
|
|
|
49
|
|
195
|
50 1. An X server. MI/X is available on the Internet for free; It is
|
|
|
51 available from: http://www.microimages.com/www/html/freestuf/mixdlfrm.htm
|
|
|
52 2. The MIT X11R6.3 libraries available from: ftp.x.org
|
|
|
53 3. You'll need to compile the MIT libraries without multi-thread support.
|
|
|
54 To do this, there is an example Win32.cf and site.def provided which
|
|
|
55 set the relevant flags. You will also need to apply the patch in
|
|
|
56 nt/X11.patch in the xc/lib/X11 directory which will fix the DLL definition
|
|
|
57 file. Once compiled and installed, you will need to apply the following
|
|
|
58 patch to Xmd.h. This is messy and better solutions would be appreciated.
|
|
276
|
59 4. Goto 2 under 'native GUI' above and also supply:
|
|
|
60 `HAVE_X=1 X11_DIR=x:\root\directory\of\your\X11\installation'
|
|
|
61 to the nmake command line.
