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, CLIME, SEMI
39 =================================
41 T-gnus requires the latest version of CUSTOM, APEL, CLIME and SEMI;
42 CLIME 1.14 provides the same features as FLIM 1.14 for old Emacsen,
43 which is currently available from:
45 ftp://ftp.jpl.org/pub/m17n/clime-1_14-************.tar.gz
47 You should install these packages before installing T-gnus. As for
48 CUSTOM, you should apply the following patch before building it.
50 ------ cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------
51 --- custom-1.9962/cus-face.el~ Wed Mar 4 19:52:39 1998
52 +++ custom-1.9962/cus-face.el Mon Mar 9 08:05:33 1998
54 "Define a new FACE on all frames, ignoring X resources."
55 (interactive "SMake face: ")
56 (or (internal-find-face name)
57 - (let ((face (make-vector 8 nil)))
58 + (let ((face (make-vector face-vector-length nil)))
61 (let* ((frames (frame-list))
62 ------ cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------ cut here ------
64 By the way, the latest CUSTOM package for Emacs v19 is available from:
66 ftp://ftp.dina.kvl.dk/pub/Staff/Per.Abrahamsen/custom/custom-1.9962.tar.gz
68 However, since the `custom-make-dependencies' function does not exist
69 in this version of CUSTOM, we will use the contrib/cus-dep.el which is
70 imported from Emacs 20.7 when building T-gnus.
76 Some T-gnus modules use the functions `regexp-opt', etc. That
77 functions are defined in regexp-opt.el(c) in the recent Emacsen,
78 however, Mule 2.3 does not contain it in the standard Lisp libraries.
79 Copy the file contrib/regexp-opt.el to site-lisp directory (or any
80 other directory), and byte-compile it as follows:
82 % cp -p contrib/regexp-opt.el /usr/local/share/mule/site-lisp
83 % cd /usr/local/share/mule/site-lisp/
84 % mule -batch -q -no-site-file -f batch-byte-compile regexp-opt.el
90 This module provide the `read-passwd' function. You have to install
91 it if you don't have that function. To do this:
93 % cp -p contrib/passwd.el /usr/local/share/mule/site-lisp
94 % cd /usr/local/share/mule/site-lisp/
95 % mule -batch -q -no-site-file -f batch-byte-compile passwd.el
97 And add the following line in your .emacs file:
99 (autoload 'read-passwd "passwd")
105 There are three ways of making T-gnus with Mule 2.3 based on Emacs 19.34.
107 1. If you have installed EMU, APEL, CLIME and SEMI packages under the
108 standard load-path, for instance:
110 EMU: /usr/local/share/mule/19.34/site-lisp/
111 APEL: /usr/local/share/mule/site-lisp/apel/
112 CLIME: /usr/local/share/mule/site-lisp/flim/
113 SEMI: /usr/local/share/mule/site-lisp/semi/
115 What is more, if you have been replaced old CUSTOM with new CUSTOM
116 or if you have installed new CUSTOM directly under the standard
117 load-path as such as /usr/local/share/mule/19.34/site-lisp/, you
118 may have nothing to be done; type the following commands right now.
120 % ./configure --with-emacs=mule
123 However, if you have installed new CUSTOM in the subdirectory under
124 the standard load-path, use the configure option `--with-addpath='
127 % ./configure --with-emacs=mule\
128 --with-addpath=/usr/local/share/mule/site-lisp/custom/
131 or you can use the file subdirs.el under the parent directory of
132 the subdirectory of CUSTOM to add it into load-path which contain
133 the following contents:
135 (normal-top-level-add-to-load-path
136 '("custom/" "and the other subdirectories.../"))
140 % ./configure --with-emacs=mule
143 2. If you have installed EMU, APEL, CLIME and SEMI packages in the
144 non-standard load-path, use the configure option `--with-addpath='
145 with the colon separated directory names where EMU, APEL or CUSTOM
146 packages are installed. For example:
148 % ./configure --with-emacs=mule\
149 --with-addpath=~/elisp/emu/:~/elisp/apel/:~/elisp/custom/
152 In this case, you have no need to add paths of CLIME, SEMI if they
153 are installed under the directory which is same as the parent
156 3. This is another way to install T-gnus when you have installed EMU,
157 APEL, CLIME and SEMI packages in the non-standard load-path. Copy
158 the file `sample.lpath.el' which is included in the distribution to
159 `~/.lpath.el' and modify it suitably for your environment. And
160 then type the following command.
162 % ./configure --with-emacs=mule
166 USING emacs-w3m (and Emacs/W3)
167 ==============================
168 The `nnshimbun' web based back end has been moved to the emacs-w3m
169 package at 18 June 2003. You need to install the latest version of
170 emacs-w3m if you want to browse web newspapers using T-gnus as before.
171 In that case, you *must* delete nnshimbun.el and nnshimbun.elc files
172 originated by T-gnus. Emacs-w3m is an Emacs interface to the external
173 command w3m, visit the following pages for more information:
175 http://emacs-w3m.namazu.org/
176 http://w3m.sourceforge.net/
178 Please give up the idea to use Emacs/W3 under Mule 2.3. There is no
