build patch
Makefile.in.in: Move src deletions to src/Makefile.in.in.
dump-paths.el, dumped-lisp.el: Delete. Combine stuff into setup-paths.el.
find-paths.el: Removed.
Make this file contain generic routines only. Move stuff to
compute Emacs roots to setup-paths.el.
startup.el: Removed.
Move these variables into setup-paths.el.
setup-paths.el, startup.el: Removed.
Combine all high-level code for computing the paths into
setup-paths.el. Create new function startup-find-load-path to
encapsulate all logic for computing `load-path'. Eliminate
invocation-directory and invocation-name parameters since
there is no point (false generality) -- the code references
other globals, which cannot be specified. Eliminate some code
duplicated between setup-paths.el and startup.el. Clean up
the debug-paths code and output load-path in addition.
Add logic to paths-emacs-root-p to support separated source
and build trees.
loadup.el, make-docfile.el, update-elc-2.el, update-elc.el: Rewrite to allow for separated source and build trees, as may occur
in MS Windows.
NOTE TO BUILD HACKERS:
loadup.el, make-docfile.el, update-elc.el and update-elc-2.el made two
assumptions that are no longer correct:
(1) The source and build trees are in the same place.
(2) They can make assumptions about where `.' is.
These files now compute the locations of the source and build
roots at the top of the file. *ALL* constant file names or path
snippets must now be made absolute using expand-file-name and one
of these roots.
dumped-lisp.el, packages.el: Removed.
Remove some unused lists of Lisp files. packages-hardcoded-lisp
(empty, in any case) moved to dumped-lisp.el.
startup.el: When a compiled init file is out-of-date wrt the uncompiled
version, load the uncompiled version and issue a nasty warning.
update-elc-2.el: Force touching of auto-autoloads files when REBUILD_AUTOLOADS
was set.
update-elc.el: Fix code that checks whether dumping is necessary to check against
xemacs.dmp, not xemacs.exe, when Unix and pdump.
lwlib-Xm.c: Fix compile warning.
README, config.inc.samp, xemacs.mak: -- Major reorganization and cleanup.
-- Add support for separated build tree and source tree.
-- Delete all support for X Windows building, since it's
totally bit-rotten and will never be fixed up. Instruct
people to use Cygwin if they want such support.
make-build-dir: New script to create a skeleton build tree for use with
separated build and source tree compilation.

Just use pdump.
Makefile.in.in: Lots o' cleanup. Use names like LISP, SRC instead of
lispdir, srcdir, for consistency with xemacs.mak and the
conventions in the rest of the file. Eliminate use of ${...}
in favor of $(...), to make it easier to move code between
this file and xemacs.mak. Fix dependency handling wrt
NEEDTODUMP to eliminate problems some people (e.g. Vin) have
been seeing with non-GNU makes. Write a long section about
the subtle but oh-so-important differences in dependency
processing between nmake, make, and GNU make. Add
unicode-encapsulate target, from xemacs.mak.
chartab.c, lrecord.h: Fix crash due to attempt to free objects across dump/undump.

| 73 section. | 73 very well. See the FAQ if you want to build with Cygwin. |
| 74 | |
| 75 | |
| 76 ** Extra tools and sources required for X | |
| 77 | |
| 78 NOTE: XEmacs has not been tested with X support under the native | |
| 79 Windows build for a long, long time! It may not even compile any | |
| 80 more. If you are interested in X support, you're better off compiling | |
| 81 the Cygwin version of XEmacs, which can handle both Win32 native and X | |
| 82 frames (in the same binary, in fact, but not at the same time), and is | |
| 83 actively tested with X support. | |
| 84 | |
| 85 If you want support for X you will also need: | |
| 86 | |
| 87 1. An X server. XEmacs has been tested and runs well under MI/X, | |
| 88 available from: http://www.microimages.com/mix/. (International aka | |
| 89 "Mule" support even works under this X server!) Unfortunately, this is | |
| 90 not free, but is trialware; you have to pay $25 if you want to use it | |
| 91 for more than 15 days. XEmacs also runs (barely) under the free XWin | |
| 92 server that comes as part of the Cygwin XFree86 package, available at | |
| 93 | |
| 94 ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/cygwin/xfree/ | |
| 95 | |
| 96 or numerous mirrors, such as | |
| 97 | |
| 98 ftp://ftp.freesoftware.com/pub/sourceware/cygwin/xfree/ | |
| 99 | |
| 100 There are numerous other X servers available in the same package or at | |
| 101 the same location, but unfortunately most of them behave even worse | |
| 102 than XWin. If you have any luck with any of these, *PLEASE* email | |
| 103 the maintainers at xemacs-nt@xemacs.org, and we'll add the info here. | |
| 104 | |
| 105 2. Source for the MIT X11R6.3 libraries, available from ftp.x.org. | |
| 106 | |
| 107 3. You'll need to compile the MIT libraries without multi-thread support. | |
| 108 To do this, there is an example Win32.cf and site.def provided which set | |
| 109 the relevant flags. You will also need to apply the patch in nt/X11.patch | |
| 110 in the xc/lib/X11 directory which will fix the DLL definition file. | |
| 111 | |
| 112 Once compiled and installed, you will need to apply the patch in | |
| 113 nt/Xmd.patch. This is messy and better solutions would be appreciated. | |
| 114 | |
