[xemacs-hg @ 2001-05-23 09:59:33 by ben]
xemacs.mak: call `ver' to get the exact os version and put it in the
installation; suggestion from adrian.
behavior-defs.el: Add scroll-in-place, jka-compr, efs, fix up some things.
pop.c: Remove BROKEN_CYGWIN.
etc\sample.init.el: Rewrite to be much more careful about loading features --
now it decays gracefully even in the complete absence of packages.
Also avoid doing obnoxious things when loading efs.
configure.in: add some support for eventually turning on file coding by
default. Fix numerous places where AC_MSG_WARN had quotes
around its arg, which is bad. Replace with []. Same for
AC_MSG_ERROR.
s\cygwin32.h, s\mingw32.h: remove support for way old beta versions of cygwin.
don't put -Wno-sign-compare in the system switches; this
isn't a system issue. define BROKEN_SIGIO for cygwin to
get C-g support.
device-msw.c: signal an error rather than crash with an unavailable network
printer (from Mike Alexander).
event-msw.c: cleanup headers. fix (hopefully) an error with data corruption
when sending to a network connection.
fileio.c: Fix evil code that attempts
to handle the ~user prefix by (a) always assuming we're referencing
ourselves and not even verifying the user -- hence any file with
a tilde as its first char is invalid! (b) if there wasn't a slash
following the filename, the pointer was set *past* the end of
file and we started reading from uninitialized memory. Now we
simply treat these as files, always.
optionally for 21.4 (doc fix):
lread.c: cambia de pas_de_lache_ici -- al minimo usa la palabra certa.
frame.c: fix warnings.
emacs.c, nt.c, ntproc.c, process-nt.c, realpath.c, unexnt.c: rename MAX_PATH
to standard PATH_MAX.
process-nt.c, realpath.c: cleanup headers.
process-unix.c, sysdep.c, systime.h, syswindows.h: kill BROKEN_CYGWIN and
support for way old beta versions of cygwin.
sysfile.h: use _MAX_PATH (Windows) preferentially for PATH_MAX if defined.
include io.h on Cygwin (we need get_osfhandle()). include
sys/fcntl.h always, since we were including it in various
header files anyway.
unexcw.c: fix up style to conform to standard. remove duplicate definition
of PERROR.
buffer.c: comment change.
database.c, debug.h, device-tty.c, dired-msw.c, glyphs-msw.c: header
cleanups (remove places that directly include a system
header file, because we have our own layer to do this more cleanly
and portably); indentation fixes.

This directory tree holds version 21.2 of XEmacs, the extensible, customizable, self-documenting real-time display editor. This version of XEmacs also runs on various Microsoft Windows platforms including MS Windows '95 and MS Windows NT and Cygwin. See the file `etc/NEWS' for information on new features and other user-visible changes since the last version of XEmacs. The file `INSTALL' in this directory says how to bring up XEmacs on Unix and Cygwin, once you have loaded the entire subtree of this directory. The file `PROBLEMS' contains information on many common problems that occur in building, installing and running XEmacs. See the file `nt/README' for instructions on building XEmacs for Microsoft Windows. The file 'README.packages' will guide you in the installation of (essential) add on packages. Reports of bugs in XEmacs should be posted to the newsgroup comp.emacs.xemacs or sent to the mailing list xemacs@xemacs.org. See the "Bugs" section of the XEmacs manual for more information on how to report bugs. (The file `BUGS' in this directory explains how you can find and read that section using the Info files that come with XEmacs.) See `etc/MAILINGLISTS' for more information on mailing lists relating to XEmacs and other GNU products. The file `configure' is a shell script to acclimate XEmacs to the oddities of your processor and operating system. It will create a file named `Makefile' (a script for the `make' program), which helps automate the process of building and installing emacs. See INSTALL for more detailed information. The file `configure.in' is the input used by the autoconf program to construct the `configure' script. Since XEmacs has configuration requirements that autoconf can't meet, `configure.in' uses an unholy marriage of custom-baked configuration code and autoconf macros; it may be wise to avoid rebuilding `configure' from `configure.in' when possible. The file `Makefile.in' is a template used by `configure' to create `Makefile'. There are several subdirectories: `src' holds the C code for Emacs (the XEmacs Lisp interpreter and its primitives, the redisplay code, and some basic editing functions). `lisp' holds the Emacs Lisp code for XEmacs (most everything else). `lib-src' holds the source code for some utility programs for use by or with XEmacs, like movemail and etags. `etc' holds miscellaneous architecture-independent data files XEmacs uses, like the tutorial text and the Zippy the Pinhead quote database. The contents of the `lisp', `info' and `man' subdirectories are architecture-independent too. `lwlib' holds the C code for the toolkit objects used by XEmacs. `info' holds the Info documentation tree for XEmacs. `man' holds the source code for the XEmacs info documentation tree. `nt' holds configuration files for compiling XEmacs under Microsoft Windows NT. The support for NT is very tentative right now.
