1 How to setup VM:
|
|
|
2
|
|
|
3 0) Look at the Makefile and change the values of EMACS_VERSION,
|
|
|
4 EMACS, INFODIR, LISPDIR, and PIXMAPDIR. If they are not right for your
|
|
|
5 system, change them.
|
|
|
6
|
|
|
7 Note that version 18 of Emacs is no longer supported. VM may
|
|
|
8 or may not work under v18.
|
|
|
9
|
|
|
10 1) Do one of these:
|
|
|
11 `make'.
|
|
|
12 `make vm.info' to build the Info online help document.
|
|
|
13 `make all' to make everything.
|
|
|
14 Ignore the compiler warnings.
|
|
|
15
|
|
|
16 2) Put all the .elc files into a Lisp directory that Emacs knows
|
|
|
17 about. (see load-path).
|
|
|
18
|
|
|
19 3) If you're using XEmacs 19.12 and you want toolbar support,
|
|
|
20 make a directory called `vm' in the XEmacs `etc' directory.
|
|
|
21 Copy the files in pixmaps directory into the directory you
|
|
|
22 just created. VM will look for the pixmap there by default.
|
|
|
23
|
|
|
24 Alternately you can put the pixmap files in any directory you
|
|
|
25 want or just leave them where they are. Be sure to point the
|
|
|
26 variable vm-toolbar-pixmap-directory at the direrctory where
|
|
|
27 you put the files.
|
|
|
28
|
|
|
29 4) If you built the Info document, copy the file vm.info file into
|
|
|
30 the Emacs' info directory under the name "vm". Edit the "dir"
|
|
|
31 file in that directory and add a menu entry for VM, if it's
|
|
|
32 not in there already.
|
|
|
33
|
|
|
34 5) Put these lines in your .emacs file if they aren't there
|
|
|
35 already:
|
|
|
36
|
|
|
37 (autoload 'vm "vm" "Start VM on your primary inbox." t)
|
|
|
38 (autoload 'vm-other-frame "vm" "Like `vm' but starts in another frame." t)
|
|
|
39 (autoload 'vm-visit-folder "vm" "Start VM on an arbitrary folder." t)
|
|
|
40 (autoload 'vm-visit-virtual-folder "vm" "Visit a VM virtual folder." t)
|
|
|
41 (autoload 'vm-mode "vm" "Run VM major mode on a buffer" t)
|
|
|
42 (autoload 'vm-mail "vm" "Send a mail message using VM." t)
|
|
|
43 (autoload 'vm-submit-bug-report "vm" "Send a bug report about VM." t)
|
|
|
44
|
|
|
45 You're now ready to use VM. C-h i should start up the Emacs Info
|
|
|
46 system and if you've installed the Info document properly you can
|
|
|
47 use the online documentation to teach yourself how to use VM.
|
|
|
48 (Note: the Info document is currently only completely accurate for
|
|
|
49 version 4 of VM.)
|
|
|
50
|
|
|
51 Please use M-x vm-submit-bug-report to report bugs. The bug report
|
|
|
52 will be sent to bug-vm@uunet.uu.net and be gatewayed from there to
|
|
|
53 gnu.emacs.vm.bug.
|
|
|
54
|
|
|
55 The latest version of VM can usually be found at ftp.uu.net in
|
|
|
56 the networking/mail/vm directory.
