[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.

This is a list of the status of XEmacs on various machines and systems.
See PROBLEMS for particular problems and possible workarounds.

Much effort has gone into making XEmacs work on as many different
machines, configurations, and compilers as possible.

Much effort has gone into making XEmacs 64-bit clean.

Much effort has gone into removing system-specific code, and replacing
such code with autodetection at configure time.

The XEmacs core should build "out of the box" on most Unix-like systems.

XEmacs 21.2 was tested and `make check' succeeded on these Unix
configurations as of 2001-02-10:

alphaev56-dec-osf4.0e (both Compaq C and gcc)
i386-unknown-freebsd4.2
i386-unknown-netbsdelf1.5
i586-sco-sysv5uw7.0.1 (both SCO's cc and gcc)
i686-pc-linux-gnu
hppa2.0-hp-hpux10.20 (both HP's ANSI cc and gcc)
mips-sgi-irix6.5 (both MIPSpro cc and gcc)
rs6000-ibm-aix4.3.0.0 (both IBM's xlc and gcc)
sparc-sun-solaris2.6 (both Sun's Forte C and gcc)
sparc-sun-solaris2.7 (both Sun's Forte C and gcc)
sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4 (gcc)

Some systems have a dual mode 32-bit/64-bit compiler.  On most of
these, XEmacs requires the --pdump configure option to build
correctly with the 64-bit version of the compiler.

mips-sgi-irix6.5, CC="gcc -mabi=64"
mips-sgi-irix6.5, CC="cc -64"
rs6000-ibm-aix4.3.0.0, CC="cc -q64"

On most of these systems, XEmacs also builds with a C++ compiler,
but not "out of the box".  This feature is only for use by the
maintainers.

XEmacs 21.2 is known _not_ to work on any machines with m680x0
processors.  Sorry, all you sun3 and Unix PC nostalgia buffs out there.

VMS has never been supported by XEmacs.  In fact, all the old VMS code
inherited from Emacs has been removed.  Sorry, all you VMS fans out there.
