Don't determine whether to call general device-type code at startup, rather decide in the device-specific code itself. lisp/ChangeLog addition: 2008-07-07 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> Patch to make it up to the device-specific code whether various Lisp functions should be called during device creation, not relying on the startup code to decide this. Also, rename initial-window-system to initial-device-type (which makes more sense in this scheme), always set it. * startup.el (command-line): Use initial-device-type, not initial-window-system; just call #'make-device, leave the special behaviour to be done the first time a console type is initialised to be decided on by the respective console code. * x-init.el (x-app-defaults-directory): Declare that it should be bound. (x-define-dead-key): Have the macro take a DEVICE argument. (x-initialize-compose): Have the function take a DEVICE argument, and use it when checking if various keysyms are available on the keyboard. (x-initialize-keyboard): Have the function take a DEVICE argument, allowing device-specific keyboard initialisation. (make-device-early-x-entry-point-called-p): New. (make-device-late-x-entry-point-called-p): New. Rename pre-x-win-initted, x-win-initted. (make-device-early-x-entry-point): Rename init-pre-x-win, take the call to make-x-device out (it should be called from the device-creation code, not vice-versa). (make-device-late-x-entry-point): Rename init-post-x-win, have it take a DEVICE argument, use that DEVICE argument when working out what device-specific things need doing. Don't use create-console-hook in core code. * x-win-xfree86.el (x-win-init-xfree86): Take a DEVICE argument; use it. * x-win-sun.el (x-win-init-sun): Take a DEVICE argument; use it. * mule/mule-x-init.el: Remove #'init-mule-x-win, an empty function. * tty-init.el (make-device-early-tty-entry-point-called-p): New. Rename pre-tty-win-initted. (make-device-early-tty-entry-point): New. Rename init-pre-tty-win. (make-frame-after-init-entry-point): New. Rename init-post-tty-win to better reflect when it's called. * gtk-init.el (gtk-early-lisp-options-file): New. Move this path to a documented variable. (gtk-command-switch-alist): Wrap the docstring to fewer than 79 columns. (make-device-early-gtk-entry-point-called-p): New. (make-device-late-gtk-entry-point-called-p): New. Renamed gtk-pre-win-initted, gtk-post-win-initted to these. (make-device-early-gtk-entry-point): New. (make-device-late-gtk-entry-point): New. Renamed init-pre-gtk-win, init-post-gtk-win to these. Have make-device-late-gtk-entry-point take a device argument, and use it; have make-device-early-gtk-entry-point load the GTK-specific startup code, instead of doing that in C. (init-gtk-win): Deleted, functionality moved to the GTK device creation code. (gtk-define-dead-key): Have it take a DEVICE argument; use this argument. (gtk-initialize-compose): Ditto. * coding.el (set-terminal-coding-system): Correct the docstring; the function isn't broken. src/ChangeLog addition: 2008-07-07 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> Patch to make it up to the device-specific code whether various Lisp functions should be called during device creation, not relying on the startup code to decide this. Also, rename initial-window-system to initial-device-type (which makes more sense in this scheme), always set it. * redisplay.c (Vinitial_device_type): New. (Vinitial_window_system): Removed. Rename initial-window-system to initial-device type, making it a stream if we're noninteractive. Update its docstring. * device-x.c (Qmake_device_early_x_entry_point, Qmake_device_late_x_entry_point): New. Rename Qinit_pre_x_win, Qinit_post_x_win. (x_init_device): Call #'make-device-early-x-entry-point earlier, now we rely on it to find the application class and the app-defaults directory. (x_finish_init_device): Call #'make-device-late-x-entry-point with the created device. (Vx_app_defaults_directory): Always make this available, to simplify code in x-init.el. * device-tty.c (Qmake_device_early_tty_entry_point): New. Rename Qinit_pre_tty_win, rename Qinit_post_tty_win and move to frame-tty.c as Qmake_frame_after_init_entry_point. (tty_init_device): Call #'make-device-early-tty-entry-point before doing anything. * frame-tty.c (Qmake_frame_after_init_entry_point): New. * frame-tty.c (tty_after_init_frame): Have it call the better-named #'make-frame-after-init-entry-point function instead of #'init-post-tty-win (since it's called after frame, not device, creation). * device-msw.c (Qmake_device_early_mswindows_entry_point, Qmake_device_late_mswindows_entry_point): New. Rename Qinit_pre_mswindows_win, Qinit_post_mswindows_win. (mswindows_init_device): Call #'make-device-early-mswindows-entry-point here, instead of having its predecessor call us. (mswindows_finish_init_device): Call #'make-device-early-mswindows-entry-point, for symmetry with the other device types (though it's an empty function). * device-gtk.c (Qmake_device_early_gtk_entry_point, Qmake_device_late_gtk_entry_point): New. Rename Qinit_pre_gtk_win, Qinit_post_gtk_win. (gtk_init_device): Call #'make-device-early-gtk-entry-point; don't load ~/.xemacs/gtk-options.el ourselves, leave that to lisp. (gtk_finish_init_device): Call #'make-device-late-gtk-entry-point with the created device as an argument.

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.
