XEmacs 20.0 was released in February 1997, -followed by XEmacs 20.2 in May, XEmacs 20.3 in November and XEmacs 20.4 -in February 1998. When compiled without MULE support, 20.4 is -approximately as stable as 19.16, and probably faster (due to -additional optimization work.) - - As of XEmacs 20.3, version 20 is *the* supported version of XEmacs. -This means that 19.16 will optionally receive stability fixes (if any), -but that all the real development work will be done on the v20 tree. - - The incompatible changes in XEmacs 20 include the additional -byte-codes, new primitive data types (`character', `char-table', and -`range-table'). This means that the character-integer equivalence -inherent to all the previous Emacs and XEmacs releases no longer -applies. - - However, to avoid breaking old code, many functions that should -normally accept characters work with integers, and vice versa. For more -information, see the Lisp reference manual. Here is a relevant excerpt, -for your convenience. - - In XEmacs version 19, and in all versions of FSF GNU Emacs, a - "character" in XEmacs Lisp is nothing more than an integer. This - is yet another holdover from XEmacs Lisp's derivation from - vintage-1980 Lisps; modern versions of Lisp consider this - equivalence a bad idea, and have separate character types. In - XEmacs version 20, the modern convention is followed, and - characters are their own primitive types. (This change was - necessary in order for MULE, i.e. Asian-language, support to be - correctly implemented.) - - Even in XEmacs version 20, remnants of the equivalence between - characters and integers still exist; this is termed the "char-int - confoundance disease". In particular, many functions such as `eq', - `equal', and `memq' have equivalent functions (`old-eq', - `old-equal', `old-memq', etc.) that pretend like characters are - integers are the same. Byte code compiled under any version 19 - Emacs will have all such functions mapped to their `old-' - equivalents when the byte code is read into XEmacs 20. This is to - preserve compatibility - Emacs 19 converts all constant characters - to the equivalent integer during byte-compilation, and thus there - is no other way to preserve byte-code compatibility even if the - code has specifically been written with the distinction between - characters and integers in mind. - - Every character has an equivalent integer, called the "character - code". For example, the character `A' is represented as the - integer 65, following the standard ASCII representation of - characters. If XEmacs was not compiled with MULE support, the - range of this integer will always be 0 to 255 - eight bits, or one - byte. (Integers outside this range are accepted but silently - truncated; however, you should most decidedly *not* rely on this, - because it will not work under XEmacs with MULE support.) When - MULE support is present, the range of character codes is much - larger. (Currently, 19 bits are used.) - - FSF GNU Emacs uses kludgy character codes above 255 to represent - keyboard input of ASCII characters in combination with certain - modifiers. XEmacs does not use this (a more general mechanism is - used that does not distinguish between ASCII keys and other keys), - so you will never find character codes above 255 in a non-MULE - XEmacs. - - Individual characters are not often used in programs. It is far - more common to work with *strings*, which are sequences composed of - characters. + Both the stable and development versions of XEmacs include +internationalization support (aka MULE). MULE currently works on UNIX +and Linux systems; work for supporting MULE on Windows operating systems +is in progress. Binaries compiled without MULE support run faster than +MULE capable XEmacsen.

Gzip all the .el files. Remove all the +packages you'll never want to use. 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. + + 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, games, hyperbole, mh-e, +hm-html-menus, vm, viper, oobr, gnus, 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 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. + + Online texinfo sources in the `info' can either be compressed them +or remove them. In either case, `C-h i' (info mode) will no longer +work. + + +File: xemacs-faq.info, Node: Q2.0.3, Next: Q2.0.4, Prev: Q2.0.2, Up: Installation + +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/'. +
