1 This directory tree holds version 21.2 of XEmacs, the extensible,
|
|
253
|
2 customizable, self-documenting real-time display editor. This version
|
|
|
3 of XEmacs also runs on various Microsoft Windows platforms including
|
|
|
4 MS Windows '95 and MS Windows NT and Cygwin.

22 Reports of bugs in XEmacs should be posted to the newsgroup
|
|
|
23 comp.emacs.xemacs or sent to the mailing list xemacs@xemacs.org. See
|
|
|
24 the "Bugs" section of the XEmacs manual for more information on how to
|
|
|
25 report bugs. (The file `BUGS' in this directory explains how you can
|
|
|
26 find and read that section using the Info files that come with
|
|
|
27 XEmacs.) See `etc/MAILINGLISTS' for more information on mailing lists
|
|

|
28 relating to XEmacs and other GNU products.

30 The file `configure' is a shell script to acclimate XEmacs to the
|
|
|
31 oddities of your processor and operating system. It will create a
|
|
|
32 file named `Makefile' (a script for the `make' program), which helps
|
|
|
33 automate the process of building and installing emacs. See INSTALL
|
|
|
34 for more detailed information.
|
|
|
35
|
|
|
36 The file `configure.in' is the input used by the autoconf program to
|
|
|
37 construct the `configure' script. Since XEmacs has configuration
|
|
|
38 requirements that autoconf can't meet, `configure.in' uses an unholy
|
|
|
39 marriage of custom-baked configuration code and autoconf macros; it
|
|
|
40 may be wise to avoid rebuilding `configure' from `configure.in' when
|
|
|
41 possible.
|
|
|
42
|
|
|
43 The file `Makefile.in' is a template used by `configure' to create
|
|
|
44 `Makefile'.
|
|

|

|
46 There are several subdirectories:
|
|
|
47
|
|
|
48 `src' holds the C code for Emacs (the XEmacs Lisp interpreter and its
|
|
|
49 primitives, the redisplay code, and some basic editing functions).
|
|
|
50 `lisp' holds the Emacs Lisp code for XEmacs (most everything else).
|
|
|
51 `lib-src' holds the source code for some utility programs for use by
|
|
|
52 or with XEmacs, like movemail and etags.
|
|
|
53 `etc' holds miscellaneous architecture-independent data files
|
|
|
54 XEmacs uses, like the tutorial text and the Zippy the Pinhead quote
|
|
|
55 database. The contents of the `lisp', `info' and `man'
|
|
|
56 subdirectories are architecture-independent too.
|
|
|
57 `lwlib' holds the C code for the toolkit objects used by XEmacs.
|
|
|
58
|
|
|
59 `info' holds the Info documentation tree for XEmacs.
|
|
134
|
60 `man' holds the source code for the XEmacs info documentation tree.
|
|
0
|
61
|
|
120
|
62 `nt' holds configuration files for compiling XEmacs under Microsoft Windows
|
|
|
63 NT. The support for NT is very tentative right now.
