1 How to build T-gnus with Mule 2.3 based on Emacs 19.34.
6 Unfortunately, some variables for `message' are predefined in lisp/
7 loaddefs.el which is dumped in Mule executable file. It is uninvited,
8 moreover, it has a bad influence. So you should remove these
9 definitions from lisp/loaddefs.el and rebuild Mule. However, if you
10 don't want to rebuild Mule, you may put the following lines in the
11 beginning of .emacs file instead of rebuilding Mule.

38 INSTALL CUSTOM, APEL, FLIM, SEMI/WEMI
39 =====================================
41 T-gnus requires the latest version of CUSTOM, APEL, FLIM and SEMI or
42 WEMI; you should install these packages before installing T-gnus.
44 As for CUSTOM, you should apply the following patch before building it.
46 ------ cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------
47 --- custom-1.9962/cus-face.el~ Wed Mar 4 19:52:39 1998
48 +++ custom-1.9962/cus-face.el Mon Mar 9 08:05:33 1998
50 "Define a new FACE on all frames, ignoring X resources."
51 (interactive "SMake face: ")
52 (or (internal-find-face name)
53 - (let ((face (make-vector 8 nil)))
54 + (let ((face (make-vector face-vector-length nil)))
57 (let* ((frames (frame-list))
58 ------ cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------
60 By the way, the latest CUSTOM package for Emacs v19 is available from:
62 ftp://ftp.dina.kvl.dk/pub/Staff/Per.Abrahamsen/custom/custom-1.9962.tar.gz
68 Some T-gnus modules use the functions `regexp-opt', etc. That
69 functions are defined in regexp-opt.el(c) in the recent Emacsen,
70 however, Mule 2.3 does not contain it in the standard Lisp libraries.
71 Copy the file contrib/regexp-opt.el to site-lisp directory (or any
72 other directory), and byte-compile it as follows:
74 % cp -p contrib/regexp-opt.el /usr/local/share/mule/site-lisp
75 % cd /usr/local/share/mule/site-lisp/
76 % mule -batch -q -no-site-file -f batch-byte-compile regexp-opt.el
82 There are three ways of making T-gnus with Mule 2.3 based on Emacs 19.34.
84 1. If you have installed EMU, APEL, FLIM and SEMI or WEMI packages
85 under the standard load-path, for instance:
87 EMU: /usr/local/share/mule/19.34/site-lisp/
88 APEL: /usr/local/share/mule/site-lisp/apel/
89 FLIM: /usr/local/share/mule/site-lisp/flim/
90 SEMI: /usr/local/share/mule/site-lisp/semi/
92 What is more, if you have been replaced old CUSTOM with new CUSTOM
93 or if you have installed new CUSTOM directly under the standard
94 load-path as such as /usr/local/share/mule/19.34/site-lisp/, you
95 may have nothing to be done; type the following commands right now.
97 % ./configure --with-emacs=mule
100 However, if you have installed new CUSTOM in the subdirectory under
101 the standard load-path, use the configure option `--with-addpath='
104 % ./configure --with-emacs=mule\
105 --with-addpath=/usr/local/share/mule/site-lisp/custom/
108 or you can use the file subdirs.el under the parent directory of
109 the subdirectory of CUSTOM to add it into load-path which contain
110 the following contents:
112 (normal-top-level-add-to-load-path
113 '("custom/" "and the other subdirectories.../"))
117 % ./configure --with-emacs=mule
120 2. If you have installed EMU, APEL, FLIM and SEMI or WEMI packages in
121 the non-standard load-path, use the configure option
122 `--with-addpath=' with the colon separated directory names where
123 EMU, APEL or CUSTOM packages are installed. For example:
125 % ./configure --with-emacs=mule\
126 --with-addpath=~/elisp/emu/:~/elisp/apel/:~/elisp/custom/
129 In this case, you have no need to add paths of FLIM, SEMI or WEMI
130 if they are installed under the directory which is same as the
131 parent directory of APEL.
133 3. This is another way to install T-gnus when you have installed EMU,
134 APEL, FLIM and SEMI or WEMI packages in the non-standard load-path.
135 Copy the file `sample.lpath.el' which is included in the
136 distribution to `~/.lpath.el' and modify it suitably for your
137 environment. And then type the following command.
139 % ./configure --with-emacs=mule
143 USING Emacs-W3M (and Emacs W3)
144 ==============================
145 The web based backend `nnshimbun' uses the shimbun modules which are
146 included in Emacs-W3M package (and the other web based backends of T-
147 gnus requires Emacs W3). Emacs-W3M is an interface program to the
148 external command W3M, visit the following pages for more information.
150 http://emacs-w3m.namazu.org/
151 http://ei5nazha.yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp/~aito/w3m/
153 If you wish to build T-gnus to be able to use Emacs-W3M and nnshimbun,
154 you have to specify the path where Emacs-W3M is installed using the
155 configure option `--with-addpath=' (for Emacs W3, use the configure
156 option `--with-w3=' or editing the file `~/.lpath.el'). Here is an
159 % ./configure --with-emacs=mule\
160 --with-addpath=~/elisp/emu/:~/elisp/apel/: ... :~/elisp/w3m/\
161 --with-w3=/usr/local/share/mule/site-lisp/w3/
164 ;; Don't mind if configure says "W3... not found". It is currently
165 ;; malfunction when the configure option `--with-w3=' is not used even
166 ;; if the path of Emacs W3 is specified in the file `~/.lpath.el'.
168 ;; By the way, does anyone know where do we find Emacs W3 package
169 ;; which is suitable to Mule 2.3 based on Emacs 19.34?
