7 The port was made much easier by the groundbreaking work of Geoff Voelker
|
|
|
8 and others who worked on the GNU Emacs port to NT. Their version is available
|
|
|
9 from http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/voelker/ntemacs.html
|
|
|
10
|
|
|
11 To get it working you will need:
|
|
155
|
12
|
|
213
|
13 1. You will need Visual C++ V4.2 or later to compile everything. Personally we
|
|
|
14 have tested V4.2 and V5.0.
|
|
|
15 Note that Visual C++ assumes a couple of environment variables INCLUDE and
|
|
|
16 LIB to be set which specify the location of the includes and libraries.
|
|
|
17 At this point you can select X or Win32 native support.
|
|
298
|
18
|
|
|
19 2. Grab the latest XEmacs source from ftp.xemacs.org if necessary. All Win32
|
|
|
20 support is in the nt\ subdirectory. You'll also need the xemacs-base
|
|
|
21 package from the binary-packages subdirectory and you'll probably also
|
|
276
|
22 want at least the edit-utils, text-utils, cc-mode and prog-utils packages.
|
|
298
|
23 Unpack the packages into, say, "c:\Program Files\XEmacs\packages".
|
|
|
24
|
|
276
|
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
|
|
298
|
29 sources (xpm-3.4k.tar.gz at time of writing) and unpack them somewhere.
|
|
|
30 Copy nt\xpm.mak from the xemacs sources to the lib subdirectory of the
|
|
|
31 xpm sources, cd to that directory and build xpm with `nmake -f xpm.mak`.
|
|
|
32
|
|
276
|
33 2. cd to the nt subdirectory of the xemacs distribution and build xemacs:
|
|
298
|
34 `nmake install -f xemacs.mak`, but read on before hitting Enter.
|
|
|
35
|
|
|
36 3. If you're building with XPM support, add this to the nmake command line:
|
|
|
37 HAVE_XPM=1 XPM_DIR="x:\location\of\your\xpm\source\tree"
|
|
|
38
|
|
|
39 4. By default, XEmacs will look for packages in
|
|
|
40 "c:\Program Files\XEmacs\packages". If you want it to look elsewhere,
|
|
|
41 add this to the nmake command line:
|
|
|
42 PACKAGEPATH="x:\\location\\of\\your\\packages"
|
|
|
43 Note the doubled-up backslashes in that path. If you want to change the
|
|
|
44 package path after you've already built XEmacs, delete the file
|
|
|
45 .\obj\emacs.obj and rebuild with the new value of PACKAGEPATH.
|
|
|
46
|
|
|
47 5. By default, XEmacs will be installed in directories under the directory
|
|
|
48 "c:\Program Files\XEmacs\XEmacs-21.0". If you want to install it
|
|
|
49 elsewhere, add this to the nmake command line:
|
|
|
50 INSTALL_DIR="x:\your\installation\directory"
|
|
|
51
|
|
|
52 6. Now you can press Enter. nmake will build temacs, the DOC file, update the
|
|
|
53 elc's, dump xemacs and install the relevant files in the directories under
|
|
|
54 the installation directory. Unless you set INSTALL_DIR in step 5 above, the
|
|
|
55 file that you should run to start XEmacs will be installed as
|
|
|
56 "c:\Program Files\XEmacs\XEmacs-21.0\i386-pc-win32\runemacs.exe". You may
|
|
|
57 want to create a shortcut to that file from your Desktop or Start Menu.
|
|
|
58
|
|
|
59 7. The build process always creates debugging and "Source Browser" information
|
|
|
60 in the source tree for use with MS DevStudio. If you actually want to debug
|
|
|
61 XEmacs you should run XEmacs from the source directory instead of from the
|
|
|
62 installation directory. You should probably also build a debug version of
|
|
|
63 XEmacs; to do this start with a clean source tree and add DEBUG_XEMACS=1 to
|
|
|
64 the nmake command line. You probably don't want to install your debug build
|
|
|
65 so you should tell nmake to build the 'all' target instead of the 'install'
|
|
|
66 target.
|
|
|
67
|
|
|
68 To make use of the debugging and "Source Browser" information, create a new
|
|
|
69 "console" project in MS DevStudio and, under Project/Settings, set:
|
|
276
|
70 Debug: executable name = full path of src\xemacs.exe
|
|
|
71 Link: output file name = full path of src\temacs.exe
|
|
|
72 Browse Info: browse info file name = full path of src\temacs.bsc
|
|
|
73 Remember to close the Source Browser file in DevStudio before rebuilding.

|
76 If you want support for X you will need:
|
|
|
77
|
|
195
|
78 1. An X server. MI/X is available on the Internet for free; It is
|
|
|
79 available from: http://www.microimages.com/www/html/freestuf/mixdlfrm.htm
|
|
298
|
80
|
|
195
|
81 2. The MIT X11R6.3 libraries available from: ftp.x.org
|
|
298
|
82
|
|
195
|
83 3. You'll need to compile the MIT libraries without multi-thread support.
|
|
|
84 To do this, there is an example Win32.cf and site.def provided which
|
|
|
85 set the relevant flags. You will also need to apply the patch in
|
|
|
86 nt/X11.patch in the xc/lib/X11 directory which will fix the DLL definition
|
|
|
87 file. Once compiled and installed, you will need to apply the following
|
|
|
88 patch to Xmd.h. This is messy and better solutions would be appreciated.
|
|
298
|
89
|
|
|
90 4. Goto 2 under 'native GUI' above and add this to the nmake command line:
|
|
|
91 HAVE_X=1 X11_DIR=x:\root\directory\of\your\X11\installation
