How to build T-gnus with Mule 2.3 based on Emacs 19.34.
-FIX loaddefs.el

+FIXING loaddefs.el
+==================
Unfortunately, some variables for `message' are predefined in lisp/
loaddefs.el which is dumped in Mule executable file. It is uninvited,
moreover, it has a bad influence. So you should remove these
definitions from lisp/loaddefs.el and rebuild Mule. However, if you
-don't want to rebuild Mule, put the following lines in the beginning
-of .emacs file instead.
-
-(mapcar
- (lambda (symbol)
- (makunbound (intern (format "message-%s" symbol))))
- '(citation-line-function

INSTALL CUSTOM, APEL, FLIM, SEMI/WEMI
INSTALL T-gnus
==============
-There are two ways of making T-gnus with Mule 2.3 based on Emacs 19.34.
+There are three ways of making T-gnus with Mule 2.3 based on Emacs 19.34.
- 1. Use the configure option `--with-addpath=' to specify the colon
- separated directory names where EMU, APEL or CUSTOM packages have
- already installed. For example:
+1. If you have installed EMU, APEL, FLIM and SEMI or WEMI packages
+ under the standard load-path, for instance:
- % configure --with-emacs=mule\
- --with-addpath=~/elisp/emu:~/elisp/apel:~elisp/custom
- % make install
+ EMU: /usr/local/share/mule/19.34/site-lisp/
+ APEL: /usr/local/share/mule/site-lisp/apel/
+ FLIM: /usr/local/share/mule/site-lisp/flim/
+ SEMI: /usr/local/share/mule/site-lisp/semi/
- 2. Copy `sample.lpath.el' to `~/.lpath.el' and modify it suitably for
- your environment. Then type as following:
+ What is more, if you have been replaced old CUSTOM with new CUSTOM
+ or if you have installed new CUSTOM directly under the standard
+ load-path as such as /usr/local/share/mule/19.34/site-lisp/, you
+ may have nothing to be done; type the following commands right now.
- % configure
- % make EMACS=mule
+ % ./configure --with-emacs=mule
+ % make install
- In this case, you shuold install manually.
+ However, if you have installed new CUSTOM in the subdirectory under
+ the standard load-path, use the configure option `--with-addpath='
+ as follows:
+
+ % ./configure --with-emacs=mule\
+ --with-addpath=/usr/local/share/mule/site-lisp/custom/
+ % make install
+
+ or you can use the file subdirs.el under the parent directory of
+ the subdirectory of CUSTOM to add it into load-path which contain
+ the following contents:
+
+ (normal-top-level-add-to-load-path
+ '("custom/" "and the other subdirectories.../"))
+
+ and then just type:
+
+ % ./configure --with-emacs=mule
+ % make install
+
+2. If you have installed EMU, APEL, FLIM and SEMI or WEMI packages in
+ the non-standard load-path, use the configure option
+ `--with-addpath=' with the colon separated directory names where
+ EMU, APEL or CUSTOM packages are installed. For example:
+
+ % ./configure --with-emacs=mule\
+ --with-addpath=~/elisp/emu/:~/elisp/apel/:~/elisp/custom/
+ % make install
+
+ In this case, you have no need to add paths of FLIM, SEMI or WEMI
+ if they are installed under the directory which is same as the
+ parent directory of APEL.
+
+3. This is another way to install T-gnus when you have installed EMU,
+ APEL, FLIM and SEMI or WEMI packages in the non-standard load-path.
+ Copy the file `sample.lpath.el' which is included in the
+ distribution to `~/.lpath.el' and modify it suitably for your
+ environment. And then type the following command.
+
+ % ./configure --with-emacs=mule
+ % make install
+
+
+USING Emacs-W3M (and Emacs W3)
+==============================
+The web based backend `nnshimbun' uses the shimbun modules which are
+included in Emacs-W3M package (and the other web based backends of T-
+gnus requires Emacs W3). Emacs-W3M is an interface program to the
+external command W3M, visit the following pages for more information.
+
+ http://emacs-w3m.namazu.org/
+ http://ei5nazha.yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp/~aito/w3m/
+
+If you wish to build T-gnus to be able to use Emacs-W3M and nnshimbun,
+you have to specify the path where Emacs-W3M is installed using the
+configure option `--with-addpath=' (for Emacs W3, use the configure
+option `--with-w3=' or editing the file `~/.lpath.el'). Here is an
+example for that:
+
+ % ./configure --with-emacs=mule\
+ --with-addpath=~/elisp/emu/:~/elisp/apel/: ... :~/elisp/w3m/\
+ --with-w3=/usr/local/share/mule/site-lisp/w3/
+ % make install
+
+;; Don't mind if configure says "W3... not found". It is currently
+;; malfunction when the configure option `--with-w3=' is not used even
+;; if the path of Emacs W3 is specified in the file `~/.lpath.el'.
+
+;; By the way, does anyone know where do we find Emacs W3 package
+;; which is suitable to Mule 2.3 based on Emacs 19.34?
