To get it working you will need:
-1. You will need Visual C++ V4.2 or later to compile everything. Personally we
- have tested V4.2 and V5.0.
+1. You will need Visual C++ V4.0 or later to compile everything. Personally we
+ have tested V4.0, V4.2 and V5.0.
Note that Visual C++ assumes a couple of environment variables INCLUDE and
LIB to be set which specify the location of the includes and libraries.
- At this point you can select X or Win32 native support.
+ Your PATH environment variable also needs to include the DevStudio vc\bin
+ and sharedide\bin directories.
+ Visual C++ V5.0 installs a batch file called vcvars32.bat in
+ c:\Program Files\DevStudio\VC\bin\ (or wherever you installed it) that you
+ can run before building to set up all of these environment variables.
2. Grab the latest XEmacs source from ftp.xemacs.org if necessary. All Win32
support is in the nt\ subdirectory. You'll also need the xemacs-base
want at least the edit-utils, text-utils, cc-mode and prog-utils packages.
Unpack the packages into, say, "c:\Program Files\XEmacs\packages".
+3. At this point you can select X or Win32 native GUI support.
If you want to build for native GUI:
-1. If you want XPM and toolbar support grab the latest version of the xpm
- sources (xpm-3.4k.tar.gz at time of writing) and unpack them somewhere.
+1. If you want XPM image and toolbar support grab the latest version of the
+ xpm sources (xpm-3.4k.tar.gz at time of writing) and unpack them somewhere.
Copy nt\xpm.mak from the xemacs sources to the lib subdirectory of the
- xpm sources, cd to that directory and build xpm with `nmake -f xpm.mak`.
+ xpm sources, cd to that directory and build xpm with 'nmake -f xpm.mak'.
-2. cd to the nt subdirectory of the xemacs distribution and build xemacs:
+2. You probably also want PNG image support. Grab the latest versions of zlib
+ and libpng (zlib-1.1.3 and libpng-1.0.2 at time of writing), unpack them
+ somewhere and read the respective READMEs for details on how to build them.
+ The following build procedure works for zlib-1.1.3 and libpng-1.0.2:
+
+ cd to the zlib directory, type 'copy msdos\makefile.w32 Makefile' and
+ then type 'nmake'.
+
+ cd to the libpng directory, rename or move the zlib directory to ..\zlib
+ and type 'nmake -f scripts\makefile.w32'.
+
+3. If you want TIFF support, grap the latest version of libtiff (tiff-v3.4
+ at time of writing) and unpack it somewhere. Copy nt\tiff.mak from the
+ xemacs sources to the contrib\winnt subdirectory of the tiff sources,
+ cd to that directory and build libtiff with 'nmake -f tiff.mak'. Note:
+ tiff.mak has only been verified to work under WinNT, not Win95 or 98.
+ However, the lastest distribution of libtiff includes a
+ contrib\win95\makefile.w95; that might work.
+
+4. If you want JPEG support grab the latest version of jpegsrc (jpeg-6b at
+ time of writing) and read the README for details on how to build it.
+
+5. cd to the nt subdirectory of the xemacs distribution and build xemacs:
`nmake install -f xemacs.mak`, but read on before hitting Enter.
-3. If you're building with XPM support, add this to the nmake command line:
- HAVE_XPM=1 XPM_DIR="x:\location\of\your\xpm\source\tree"
+6. If you're building with XPM support, add this to the nmake command line:
+ HAVE_XPM=1 XPM_DIR="x:\location\of\your\xpm\sources"
+ and similarly for JPEG and TIFF support.
+
+ If you're building with PNG support, add this to the nmake command line:
+ HAVE_PNG=1 PNG_DIR="x:\location\of\your\png\sources"
+ ZLIB_DIR="x:\location\of\your\zlib\sources"
+
+ If you want to build with GIF support, add this to the nmake command line:
+ HAVE_GIF=1
-4. By default, XEmacs will look for packages in
+7. By default, XEmacs will look for packages in
"c:\Program Files\XEmacs\packages". If you want it to look elsewhere,
add this to the nmake command line:
PACKAGEPATH="x:\\location\\of\\your\\packages"
Note the doubled-up backslashes in that path. If you want to change the
package path after you've already built XEmacs, delete the file
- .\obj\emacs.obj and rebuild with the new value of PACKAGEPATH.
+ .\obj\emacs.obj before rebuilding with the new value of PACKAGEPATH.
-5. By default, XEmacs will be installed in directories under the directory
+8. By default, XEmacs will be installed in directories under the directory
"c:\Program Files\XEmacs\XEmacs-21.0". If you want to install it
elsewhere, add this to the nmake command line:
INSTALL_DIR="x:\your\installation\directory"
-6. Now you can press Enter. nmake will build temacs, the DOC file, update the
+9. Now you can press Enter. nmake will build temacs, the DOC file, update the
elc's, dump xemacs and install the relevant files in the directories under
- the installation directory. Unless you set INSTALL_DIR in step 5 above, the
- file that you should run to start XEmacs will be installed as
+ the installation directory. Unless you set INSTALL_DIR above, the file that
+ you should run to start XEmacs will be installed as
"c:\Program Files\XEmacs\XEmacs-21.0\i386-pc-win32\runemacs.exe". You may
want to create a shortcut to that file from your Desktop or Start Menu.
-7. The build process always creates debugging and "Source Browser" information
+10. The build process always creates debugging and "Source Browser" information
in the source tree for use with MS DevStudio. If you actually want to debug
XEmacs you should run XEmacs from the source directory instead of from the
installation directory. You should probably also build a debug version of
projects / chise / xemacs-chise.git.1 / blobdiff
