| 1 To use: | |
| 2 | |
| 3 You need to build and install the XEmacs distribution. Also you need | |
| 4 the xemacs packages in both source and installed versions. | |
| 5 | |
| 6 Edit "dirs.py" to reflect the locations of the above components. | |
| 7 | |
| 8 Edit "version.py" to reflect the current version, as well as the | |
| 9 welcome message. | |
| 10 | |
| 11 Run | |
| 12 python pre_wise.py > xemacs-XXX.wse | |
| 13 | |
| 14 (for XXX use a version or date code of your choosing) | |
| 15 | |
| 16 Run | |
| 17 cmd /c xemacs-XXX.wse | |
| 18 | |
| 19 to produce xemacs-XXX.exe | |
| 20 | |

| 22 "pre_wise.py" is a preprocessor for the Wise installer maker. It | |
| 23 reads "xemacs.tmpl" which is a Wise input file, except that certain | |
| 24 portions are enclosed in triple angle brackets <<<like this>>> | |
| 25 | |
| 26 These portions are evaluated as Python expressions and replaced by the | |
| 27 string representations of the resulting value. This allows for | |
| 28 things to change from release to release without having to re-do the | |
| 29 Wise installation each time. Also it keeps you from having to | |
| 30 manually drag-n-drop all the package files, which is rather tedious! | |
