| 1 Building and Installing XEmacs on Windows NT | |

| 7 Currently XEmacs for win32 is in an early stage of development. | |
| 8 | |
| 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 | |
| 12 | |
| 13 (jhar) I split the native-win32 build directory off from the nt build | |
| 14 directory. This is probably(?) a bad thing and I intend to try to merge the | |
| 15 w32 changes back in. | |
| 16 | |
| 17 To get it working you will need: | |
| 18 | |
| 19 1. You will need Visual C++ V4.2 or later to compile everything. Personally we | |
| 20 have tested V4.2 and V5.0. | |
| 21 2. Grab the latest XEmacs beta from ftp.xemacs.org if necessary. All | |
| 22 native-win32 support is in the w32/ subdirectory. | |
| 23 3. Edit the xemacs.mak file and ensure variables point to the correct place. | |
| 24 Note that Visual C++ assumes a couple of environment variables INCLUDE and | |
| 25 LIB to be set which specify the location of the includes and libraries. | |
| 26 4. Copy the files config.h and paths.h from w32/ to src/. | |
| 27 "nmake -f xemacs.mak distclean" will delete these files, so always edit | |
| 28 them in the w32 direvctory and copy them over. | |
| 29 5. "nmake -f xemacs.mak" Build temacs.exe. | |
| 30 "nmake -f xemacs.mak dump-elcs" Update the .elc files. | |
| 31 "nmake -f xemacs.mak dump-xemacs" Build xemacs.exe. | |
| 32 6. Ensure your HOME environment variable is set correctly. | |
| 33 7. The build process creates debugging and "Source Browser" information for | |
| 34 use with MS DevStudio. To use this create a new "console" project and set | |
| 35 the Project/Settings/Debug executable name to the full path of | |
| 36 src\xemacs.exe. Remember to close the Source Browser file in DevStudio | |
| 37 before rebuilding. | |
| 38 8. If you're going to edit sources I recommend that you first get a copy of | |
| 39 makedepend and make a list of dependencies in the makefile by doing | |
| 40 "nmake -f xemacs.mak depend". I (jhar) have a hacked-up copy of X11R5 | |
| 41 makedepend which I can distribute if anyone wants it. Is there a real | |
| 42 version anywhere which handles '\' as the path delimiter? | |
