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
|
|
|

|
|
|
13 To get it working you will need:
|
|
|
14
|
|
|
15 1. You will need Visual C++ V4.2 or later to compile everything. Personally we
|
|
|
16 have tested V4.2 and V5.0.
|
|
211
|
17 2. Grab the latest XEmacs beta from ftp.xemacs.org if necessary. All Win32
|
|
|
18 support is in the nt/ subdirectory.
|
|
209
|
19 3. Edit the xemacs.mak file and ensure variables point to the correct place.
|
|
|
20 Note that Visual C++ assumes a couple of environment variables INCLUDE and
|
|
|
21 LIB to be set which specify the location of the includes and libraries.
|
|
211
|
22 At this point you can select X or Win32 native support.
|
|
|
23 4. Run make. I simply use nmake -f xemacs.mak. This will build temacs, the
|
|
|
24 DOC file, if startup.elc does not exist it will update the elc's and
|
|
|
25 then it will dump xemacs.
|
|
|
26 5. The build process creates debugging and "Source Browser" information for
|
|
209
|
27 use with MS DevStudio. To use this create a new "console" project and set
|
|
|
28 the Project/Settings/Debug executable name to the full path of
|
|
|
29 src\xemacs.exe. Remember to close the Source Browser file in DevStudio
|
|
|
30 before rebuilding.
|
|
211
|
31 6. If you're going to edit sources I recommend that you first get a copy of
|
|
209
|
32 makedepend and make a list of dependencies in the makefile by doing
|
|
|
33 "nmake -f xemacs.mak depend". I (jhar) have a hacked-up copy of X11R5
|
|
|
34 makedepend which I can distribute if anyone wants it. Is there a real
|
|
|
35 version anywhere which handles '\' as the path delimiter?
|
|
|
36
|
|
211
|
37 If you want support for X you will need:
|
|
209
|
38
|
|
211
|
39 1. An X server. MI/X is available on the Internet for free; It is
|
|
|
40 available from: http://www.microimages.com/www/html/freestuf/mixdlfrm.htm
|
|
|
41 2. The MIT X11R6.3 libraries available from: ftp.x.org
|
|
|
42 3. You'll need to compile the MIT libraries without multi-thread support.
|
|
|
43 To do this, there is an example Win32.cf and site.def provided which
|
|
|
44 set the relevant flags. You will also need to apply the patch in
|
|
|
45 nt/X11.patch in the xc/lib/X11 directory which will fix the DLL definition
|
|
|
46 file. Once compiled and installed, you will need to apply the following
|
|
|
47 patch to Xmd.h. This is messy and better solutions would be appreciated.
