fix compile errors, fix revert-buffer bug on binary/Latin 1 files, Mule-ize some files -------------------- ChangeLog entries follow: -------------------- src/ChangeLog addition: 2010-02-07 Ben Wing <ben@xemacs.org> * emacs.c (make_argc_argv): Cast to Wexttext * to fix compile error. * nt.c (init_user_info): Cast to CIbyte * to fix compile error. * nt.c (open_unc_volume): To fix compile error, store pathname into an Extbyte * variable then write into the dest, casting to LPTSTR. * emacs.c (debug_can_access_memory): * fileio.c (Fmake_temp_name): * fileio.c (a_write): * fns.c: * fns.c (check_losing_bytecode): * fns.c (plists_differ): * fns.c (internal_equal_trapping_problems): * fns.c (base64_value_to_char): * fns.c (base64_conversion_error): * fns.c (STORE_BYTE): * fns.c (vars_of_fns): * lisp.h: * nt.c (init_user_info): * nt.c (mswindows_readdir): * nt.c (mswindows_executable_type): Replace raw `char *' or `unsigned char *' with characterized type -- Rawbyte, Binbyte, Boolbyte, Ibyte or Ascbyte. This should fix at least one real bug -- in a_write(), the "speedy insert" code that checks for an unchanged region declared the file data read in as char[] but then compared the value to an Ichar. Hence, any chars in the range 128-255 would always appear changed -- in particular, this algorithm would fail completely with binary data.

This directory contains the source for the setup program for the XEmacs
net releases.

For commentary on how to do a release please see `package-net.el'

This code has been adapted from the cygwin net release installer. In
particular note that the cygwin net release installer is actively
maintained and therefore we will want to incorporate improvements from
that. I have therefore tried to use the cygwin way wherever
possible. I have however cleaned up the code somewhat so that there
are not billions of warnings.

This program should get built as part of the standard XEmacs
make. Note however that if you use trhe cygwin build you will need a
NON CYGWIN VERSION OF ZLIB.
