[xemacs-hg @ 2003-03-09 02:27:27 by ben]
To: xemacs-patches@xemacs.org
i.c: Sleep between calls to check for I/O, since these calls are non-blocking.
behavior.el: Allow other keywords for forward compatibility.
cl-macs.el: Rewrite to eliminate byte-compiler warning when `return' is used
without `finally'.
cmdloop.el: Avoid truncated error messages for `end-of-file' and the like.
cmdloop.el: Avoid char-int error after syncing.
files.el: Eliminate byte-compile warnings.
printer.el: Fix line-width calculations.
#### This used to work. Someone's changes (perhaps by
Michael Sperber?) seem to have messed something up.
simple.el: Use new clear-left-side functions to avoid messages ending up on
the same line as other output.
xemacs.mak: Add override for info/ as well when separate source/build dirs.
xemacs.mak: Order sections in main build process and add comments. Add
additional dependencies to try and prevent later steps from
happening when failures in earlier steps have occurred.
Makefile.in.in: Order sections in main build process and add comments. Add
additional dependencies to try and prevent later steps from
happening when failures in earlier steps have occurred.
alloc.c: Don't arbitrarily clear Vconfigure_info_directory since it
messes up separate build/source dirs.
console.c, console.h, device-msw.c, device.c: Add accidentally omitted msprinter console and data descriptions.
print.c, console-msw.c: Add clear-left-side functionality to help keep stdio/stderr
output from separate sources on separate lines. Generalize
the different kinds of debugging output. Add dpa().
profile.c: Add better docs on Unix/Windows differences.
regex.c: Fix problems with rel-alloc compilation caused by previous patch.
emacs.c: Seg fault rather than abort on Cygwin, since gdb doesn't trap
aborts properly.
console-gtk-impl.h, console-gtk.h, console-msw.h, console-x-impl.h, console-x.h, dialog-gtk.c, dialog-x.c, event-msw.c, frame-gtk.c, frame-x.c, frameslots.h, glyphs-gtk.c, glyphs-x.c, gui-gtk.c, gui-x.c, inline.c, menubar-gtk.c, menubar-msw.c, menubar-x.c, scrollbar-gtk.c, scrollbar-x.c, ui-gtk.c: Delete popup-data object. Delete menubar_data field from frames,
since its usage is frame-specific. Delete menubar-msw.h,
gui-x.h, gui-gtk.h. Clean up handling of lwlib callback data
GCPRO'ing and add missing GCPRO recomputation in widget code.

Introduction Thank you for downloading XEmacs. We of the XEmacs development team believe user satisfaction is our number one priority, and we hope that you will be pleased with the power of our editor. Please follow all of the instructions in order to enjoy a quick and easy installation. Getting Started In this guide, information which you will need to supply will be enclosed in angle brackets, <like this>. Commands which you will have to enter will be indented, like this. You will need to provide a loading directory, in which to load the material from tape (/tmp/xemacs is recommended), and a permanent installation directory (/usr/local/xemacs is recommended). Loading From Tape First create and change directory to the loading directory: mkdir <working directory> cd <working directory> Now you are ready to load the software from tape. The specific device name needed to load the tape varies with hardware vendors, and may be found in Appendix A, "Vendors and Device Names". Load the software from tape: tar xvf /dev/<device name> You have now loaded all of the software from tape, and are ready to compile and install the XEmacs Text Editor. Compiling and Installing the XEmacs Editor Compiling and installing the libraries is handled by a user-friendly shell script. You will need to provide some information to the script, such as your organization name and registration number. To run the script, type /bin/sh xemacs/xemacs.install -d <installation directory> Follow the script's directions, and provide the information which it prompts for. When the script prompts you for the directory in which the distribution files are located, you will find that you are unable to provide it with any directory which the script will deem satisfactory. That is because it is necessary to order the following additional parts which are necessary to continue with the installation: Part Number Qty Name Price GM-96-3026 1 Goat, male 1000.00 CB-13-2395 1 Candle, black 50.00 CG-63-6376 1 Chalk dust container 10.00 IB-89-3335 5 Incense sticks 5.00 DE-44-8846 1 Dagger, ebon, curved 500.00 AS-87-2319 1 Altar, silver 10000.00 Wait until the additional parts arrive; you will be ready to continue the installation the next Friday the 13th at midnight. Ritual for Successfully Completing Installation Stand in front of the computer. Pour out the chalk dust in an inscribed pentagram around you; be sure that it is without breaks. Set an incense stick at each of the five corners, the altar in front of the computer, and the candle in front of the altar. Light each of the incense sticks and the candles, chanting in a low voice: Daemons and spirits of the netherworld Forces of all that is chaotic and mysterious Essence of Netscape and MicroSoft I am coming here to appease you I offer you this goat That my software may work I bind you here Do not make my system crash Let the software install as advertised Place the goat on the altar, and slaughter it with the dagger. May this goat feed you Sate your lust for blood Into it may your mischief fly Not my computer Make the software work For this is the only way Then spit into the computer's ventilation slots. This will complete different circuits inside the computer, causing its motherboard and cards to function in ways that the engineers never intended, thereby making your system compatible with our libraries. Reboot your computer. The installation is now complete. [This has undergone a minor rewrite for XEmacs.
