-Q2.0.2: XEmacs is too big
--------------------------
-
- Although this entry has been written for XEmacs 19.13, most of it
-still stands true.
-
- Steve Baur <steve@xemacs.org> writes:
-
- The 45MB of space required by the installation directories can be
- reduced dramatically if desired. Gzip all the .el files. Remove
- all the packages you'll never want to use (or even ones you do
- like the two obsolete mailcrypts and Gnus 4 in 19.13). Remove the
- TexInfo manuals. Remove the Info (and use just hardcopy versions
- of the manual). Remove most of the stuff in etc. Remove or gzip
- all the source code. Gzip or remove the C source code. Configure
- it so that copies are not made of the support lisp. I'm not
- advocating any of these things, just pointing out ways to reduce
- the disk requirements if desired.
-
- Now examine the space used by directory:
-
- 0 /usr/local/bin/xemacs
- 2048 /usr/local/bin/xemacs-19.13
-
- 1546 /usr/local/lib/xemacs-19.13/i486-miranova-sco3.2v4.2
- 1158 /usr/local/lib/xemacs-19.13/i486-unknown-linux1.2.13
-
- You need to keep these. XEmacs isn't stripped by default in
- installation, you should consider stripping. That will save you
- about 5MB right there.

- These are all Emacs Lisp source code and bytecompiled object code.
- You may safely gzip everything named *.el here. You may remove
- any package you don't use. _Nothing bad will happen if you delete
- a package that you do not use_. You must be sure you do not use
- it though, so be conservative at first.
-
- Possible candidates for deletion include w3 (newer versions exist,
- or you may just use Lynx or Netscape for web browsing), games,
- hyperbole, mh-e, hm-html-menus (better packages exist), vm, viper,
- oobr, gnus (new versions exist), etc. Ask yourself, _Do I ever
- want to use this package?_ If the answer is no, then it is a
- candidate for removal.
-
- First, gzip all the .el files. Then go about package by package
- and start gzipping the .elc files. Then run XEmacs and do
- whatever it is you normally do. If nothing bad happens, then
- delete the directory. Be conservative about deleting directories,
- and it would be handy to have a backup tape around in case you get
- too zealous.
-
- `prim', `modes', `packages', and `utils' are four directories you
- definitely do *not* want to delete, although certain packages can
- be removed from them if you do not use them.
-
- 1972 /usr/local/lib/xemacs-19.13/info
-
- These are online texinfo sources. You may either gzip them or
- remove them. In either case, `C-h i' (info mode) will no longer
- work.
-
- 20778 /usr/local/lib/xemacs-19.13
-
- The 20MB achieved is less than half of what the full distribution
- takes up, *and* can be achieved without deleting a single file.
-
- Giacomo Boffi <boffi@hp735.stru.polimi.it> provides this procedure:
-
- Substitute `/usr/local/lib/' with the path where the xemacs tree is
- rooted, then use this script:
-
- #!/bin/sh
-
- r=/usr/local/lib/xemacs-19.13/lisp
-
- cd $r ; rm -f cmpr ; touch cmpr
-
- du -s .
-
- for d in * ; do
- if test -d $d ; then
- cd $d
- for f in *.el ; do
- # compress (remove) only (ONLY) the sources that have a
- # corresponding compiled file --- do not (DO NOT)
- # touch other sources
- if test -f ${f}c ; then gzip -v9 $f >> $r/cmpr ; fi
- done
- cd ..
- fi
- done
-
- du -s .
-
- A step beyond would be substituting `rm -f' for `gzip -v9', but
- you have to be desperate for removing the sources (remember that
- emacs can access compressed files transparently).
-
- Also, a good megabyte could easily be trimmed from the $r/../etc
- directory, e.g., the termcap files, some O+NEWS, others that I
- don't remember as well.
-
- XEmacs 21.0 will unbundle the lisp hierarchy and allow the
- installer to choose exactly how much support code gets installed.

-Q2.0.3: Compiling XEmacs with Netaudio.
----------------------------------------
-
- What is the best way to compile XEmacs with the netaudio system,
-since I have got the netaudio system compiled but installed at a weird
-place, I am not root. Also in the READMEs it does not say anything
-about compiling with the audioserver?
-
- You should only need to add some stuff to the configure command line.
-To tell it to compile in netaudio support: `--with-sound=both', or
-`--with-sound=nas' if you don't want native sound support for some
-reason.) To tell it where to find the netaudio includes and libraries:
-
- --site-libraries=WHATEVER
- --site-includes=WHATEVER
-
- Then (fingers crossed) it should compile and it will use netaudio if
-you have a server running corresponding to the X server. The netaudio
-server has to be there when XEmacs starts. If the netaudio server goes
-away and another is run, XEmacs should cope (fingers crossed, error
-handling in netaudio isn't perfect).
-
- BTW, netaudio has been renamed as it has a name clash with something
-else, so if you see references to NAS or Network Audio System, it's the
-same thing. It also might be found at
-`ftp://ftp.x.org/contrib/audio/nas/'.
