10 To install, copy gnuserv.el into a directory on your GNU Emacs
|
|
|
11 load-path. Edit Makefile and change INCLUDES to point to the src
|
|
|
12 directory underneath your emacs source tree (or make yourself a
|
|
|
13 config.h file in this directory by hand, starting with config.h.proto
|
|
|
14 as a first cut) and type:
|
|
|
15
|
|
|
16 make
|
|
|
17
|
|
|
18 This should compile the server and the two clients. Now put gnuserv,
|
|
|
19 gnuclient and gnudoit in a directory that users have in their executable
|
|
|
20 search paths.

52 This version of gnuserv has been enhanced by a number of people, including
|
|
|
53 Bob Weiner <weiner@mot.com>, Darrell Kindred <dkindred@cmu.edu>,
|
|
|
54 Arup Mukherjee <arup@cmu.edu>, and Ben Wing <ben@xemacs.org>. The
|
|
|
55 modifications are basically as follows:
|
|
|
56
|
|
|
57 Bob Weiner:
|
|
|
58
|
|
|
59 Integrated support for several versions of emacs. New requests
|
|
|
60 from gnuclient cause the creation of new frames. Removed the
|
|
|
61 restriction on the length of the string passed to gnudoit. Later
|
|
|
62 added a server-done-function variable to control what happens to
|
|
|
63 a buffer after the user is done with it. Mods to each of the .c
|
|
|
64 files as well as gnuserv.el.
|
|
|
65
|
|
|
66 Darrell Kindred:
|
|
|
67
|
|
|
68 Removed the restriction on the length of the string returned from
|
|
|
69 a gnudoit request, for the purposes of unix/internet sockets.
|
|
|
70 Allow the gnudoit request to be read from stdin if it's not
|
|
|
71 specified on the command line. Internet sockets are not opened
|
|
|
72 unless the GNU_SECURE variable is specified. Unix sockets are
|
|
|
73 created in a protected ancestral directory, since many Unix
|
|
|
74 variants don't enforce socket permissions properly. An internet
|
|
|
75 socket accepting local connections is not opened by default
|
|
|
76 because this would make it possibly to override all security on
|
|
|
77 the unix socket. See the man page for details. Unless told to do
|
|
|
78 otherwise by a command-line argument, gnuclient and gnudoit now
|
|
|
79 try to open a unix socket by default if support for them was
|
|
|
80 compiled in. Mods to each of the .c files and to gnuserv.el.
|
|
|
81
|
|
|
82 Arup Mukherjee:
|
|
|
83 Removed the restriction on the length of the string returned from
|
|
|
84 a gnudoit request, for the purposes of sysv ipc. Added support
|
|
|
85 for the "gnuserv-frame" variable allowing you to specify control
|
|
|
86 whether or not new screens are created in response to each
|
|
|
87 gnuclient request. Made a number of other bugfixes and changes to
|
|
|
88 the lisp part of the code, allowing gnuserv to work properly with
|
|
|
89 newer emacs versions. All the changes are listed in the changelog
|
|
|
90 at the beginning of gnuserv.el. Also fixed up the man page to
|
|
|
91 reflect the new gnuserv features. On HPs, stopped the "-r"
|
|
|
92 parameter (in gnuclient) from defaulting to /net/<remotehost>.
|
|
|
93 Not all installations want this, and it's much harder to debug
|
|
|
94 when things stop working. Changed the man page to reflect this.
|
|
|
95 Mods to each of the .c files, gnuserv.el and gnuserv.1
|
|
|
96
|
|
|
97 More recently - added Xauth(1X11)-style authentication to gnuserv (as
|
|
|
98 of version 2.1). Although the code is completely new, credit is
|
|
|
99 due to Richard Caley <rjc@cogsci.edinburgh.ac.uk> ... he wrote a
|
|
|
100 prototype implementation from which I borrowed the basic
|
|
|
101 mechanism for hooking Xauth into gnuserv.
|
|
|
102
|
|
|
103 Ben Wing:
|
|
|
104 Added gnuattach.
