34 `nmake -f xemacs.mak HAVE_MSW=1 PATH_PACKAGEPATH="c:/src/xemacs/packages"`, 34 `nmake install -f xemacs.mak`, but read on before hitting Enter.
35 replacing "c:/src/xemacs/packages" with the location of your packages. Note 35
36 the double quotes and *forward* slashes in that path. 36 3. If you're building with XPM support, add this to the nmake command line:
37 If you're building with XPM support, add this to the nmake command line: 37 HAVE_XPM=1 XPM_DIR="x:\location\of\your\xpm\source\tree"
38 `HAVE_XPM=1 XPM_DIR=x:\location\of\your\xpm\source\tree`. 38
39 Nmake will build temacs, the DOC file, update the elc's and dump xemacs. 39 4. By default, XEmacs will look for packages in
40 3. The build process creates debugging and "Source Browser" information for 40 "c:\Program Files\XEmacs\packages". If you want it to look elsewhere,
41 use with MS DevStudio. To use this create a new "console" project and 41 add this to the nmake command line:
42 under Project/Settings set: 42 PACKAGEPATH="x:\\location\\of\\your\\packages"
43 Note the doubled-up backslashes in that path. If you want to change the
44 package path after you've already built XEmacs, delete the file
45 .\obj\emacs.obj and rebuild with the new value of PACKAGEPATH.
46
47 5. By default, XEmacs will be installed in directories under the directory
48 "c:\Program Files\XEmacs\XEmacs-21.0". If you want to install it
49 elsewhere, add this to the nmake command line:
50 INSTALL_DIR="x:\your\installation\directory"
51
52 6. Now you can press Enter. nmake will build temacs, the DOC file, update the
53 elc's, dump xemacs and install the relevant files in the directories under
54 the installation directory. Unless you set INSTALL_DIR in step 5 above, the
55 file that you should run to start XEmacs will be installed as
56 "c:\Program Files\XEmacs\XEmacs-21.0\i386-pc-win32\runemacs.exe". You may
57 want to create a shortcut to that file from your Desktop or Start Menu.
58
59 7. The build process always creates debugging and "Source Browser" information
60 in the source tree for use with MS DevStudio. If you actually want to debug
61 XEmacs you should run XEmacs from the source directory instead of from the
62 installation directory. You should probably also build a debug version of
63 XEmacs; to do this start with a clean source tree and add DEBUG_XEMACS=1 to
64 the nmake command line. You probably don't want to install your debug build
65 so you should tell nmake to build the 'all' target instead of the 'install'
66 target.
67
68 To make use of the debugging and "Source Browser" information, create a new
69 "console" project in MS DevStudio and, under Project/Settings, set:
43 Debug: executable name = full path of src\xemacs.exe 70 Debug: executable name = full path of src\xemacs.exe
44 Link: output file name = full path of src\temacs.exe 71 Link: output file name = full path of src\temacs.exe
45 Browse Info: browse info file name = full path of src\temacs.bsc 72 Browse Info: browse info file name = full path of src\temacs.bsc
46 Remember to close the Source Browser file in DevStudio before rebuilding. 73 Remember to close the Source Browser file in DevStudio before rebuilding.
