fix compile issues with gcc 4 -------------------- ChangeLog entries follow: -------------------- ChangeLog addition: 2010-01-24 Ben Wing <ben@xemacs.org> * aclocal.m4 (XE_SHLIB_STUFF): Use -export-all-symbols instead of -export-dynamic on PE targets (Cygwin and MinGW). * configure.ac (XE_EXPAND_VARIABLE): * configure.ac (TAB): Create variable XEMACS_CC_GPP to check whether we're running g++. Don't just check for an executable called `g++' -- it might be called g++-4 or whatever. Instead, check for either named `g++*' or claiming to be g++ when called with --version. Rewrite code do use the variable. Add -fno-strict-aliasing to optimization flags when GCC and optimized, and in all cases with g++, since under these circumstances strict aliasing is otherwise assumed, and XEmacs can't easily be made to respect its restrictions. * configure: Regenerate. lib-src/ChangeLog addition: 2010-01-24 Ben Wing <ben@xemacs.org> * fakemail.c (args_size): * fakemail.c (parse_header): * ootags.c (C_entries): Fix warnings about possible use of uninitialized vars. lwlib/ChangeLog addition: 2010-01-24 Ben Wing <ben@xemacs.org> * xlwgauge.c (GaugeResize): * xlwgauge.c (GaugeSize): Fix warnings about possible use of uninitialized vars. modules/ChangeLog addition: 2010-01-24 Ben Wing <ben@xemacs.org> * postgresql/postgresql.c (CHECK_LIVE_CONNECTION): * postgresql/postgresql.c (print_pgconn): * postgresql/postgresql.c (Fpq_connectdb): * postgresql/postgresql.c (Fpq_connect_start): * postgresql/postgresql.c (Fpq_exec): * postgresql/postgresql.c (Fpq_get_result): Fix g++ 4.3 complaints about implicit conversions of string literals (const char *) to char *. src/ChangeLog addition: 2010-01-24 Ben Wing <ben@xemacs.org> * chartab.c (decode_char_table_range): * extents.c (extent_fragment_update): * objects-msw.c (initialize_font_instance): * process.c (Fgetenv): * redisplay-output.c (get_next_display_block): Fix warnings about possible use of uninitialized vars. * compiler.h: * compiler.h (REGISTER): * event-stream.c (is_scrollbar_event): * window.c (window_scrollbar_width): * window.c (window_scrollbar_height): * window.c (window_left_window_gutter_width): * window.c (window_right_window_gutter_width): Add USED_IF_SCROLLBARS. Use it to fix warnings about unused vars when --with-scrollbars=no. * config.h.in: Change comment to explain better why DECLARE_INLINE_HEADER is needed. * dialog-msw.c: * emacs.c (SHEBANG_EXE_PROGNAME_LENGTH): * emacs.c (main_1): * event-msw.c (struct mswin_message_debug): * event-msw.c (debug_output_mswin_message): * font-mgr.c: * font-mgr.c (Ffc_config_filename): * glyphs-msw.c (struct): * glyphs-msw.c (bitmap_table): * glyphs-x.c (update_widget_face): * intl-win32.c (struct lang_to_string): * intl-win32.c (lang_to_string_table): * nas.c: * objects-xlike-inc.c: * objects-xlike-inc.c (xft_find_charset_font): * syswindows.h: * win32.c (mswindows_output_last_error): Fix g++ 4.3 complaints about implicit conversions of string literals (const char *) to char *. * lisp.h: G++ 4.3 needs #include <limits> to avoid errors about min/max. * lisp.h (disabled_assert_with_message): Use disabled_assert* whenever asserts are disabled. Rewrite disabled_assert* to avoid complaints about unused vars by pretending to use the vars but casting them to (void). Remove code that defined assert() weirdly if DEBUG_XEMACS but not USE_ASSERTIONS -- configure sets USE_ASSERTIONS automatically when DEBUG_XEMACS, and if the user has forced it off, then so be it. * lisp.h (SYMBOL_KEYWORD): Put some of the combined `extern Lisp_Object's back under the file they are declared in. Cosmetic fix. * number.h: Remove `extern Lisp_Object' decls that duplicate lisp.h, since they have different C vs. C++ linkage.

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.
