[Jan Vroonhof <vroonhof@math.ethz.ch>] More Mule Screwage in packages: jka-compr and lookup 25 years, 2 months

Vin Shelton

Why hasn't this been applied to jka-compr? Should I apply it? I can't seem to run jka-compr without it. When we have updates to the package sources, I rebuild my local packages fairly frequently - should I upload those to the ftp site? I have pretty good net access; it wouldn't be hard for me to do. - vin

Building 21.1 or 21.2 with latest gcc snapshots 25 years, 2 months

Vin Shelton

It is not possible to build either 21.1 or 21.2 on my linux 686 system with the latest egcs/gcc snapshot. I get a core dump running temacs. I tracked this down to the following line in r_alloc_sbrk in src/ralloc.c (line 804 in the current 21.1 sources): return (*real_morecore) (size); with size = 0. I recompiled ralloc.c with -fno-strict-aliasing, and voila! I can build and run an XEmacs. Perhaps someone who understands the aliasing issues better than I do can track this down, he or she cares to. - vin PS. This problem did not appear with gcc-2.95.1 - it's something that has only cropped up with the latest compiler snapshots.

That is the best solution by far. But for 21.1.7 and the current betas living with the shadows seems like the best solution. (Given that normal people compile XEmacs first and then install the packages it is unlikely they ever see the shadows anyway). Jan

There isn't much one can do about it (short of rewriting > gui.el) We can remove x?m-button.el from xemacs-base.

Latest CVS 21.2 with modules support build problem. 25 years, 2 months

Daniel Pittman

The current CVS tree for 21.2 has a problem with the configure script. The following snippet shows the issue: ----- configure, line 11724 ----- test -z "$with_modules" && test ! -z "$have_dlfcn" && { ----- end ----- If a build is done with DSO modules, no testing for the dynamic load library (-ldl) is done. The 'test -z "$with_modules"' is the cause of the problem. If modules are selected, testing for the dl library is not done and the library is not added to the link process. As a result, the link phase fails with unresolved symbols on my machine (Debian 2.1) from libdl.so.* Daniel -- When a person with experience meets a person with money, the person with experience will get the money.

I'm very sorry for posting by Japanese. That was my mistake. I intended to post to xemacs-beta-ja(a)xemacs.org instead of xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org, but I choosed wrong entry of BBDB. -- mo.to.

deja fix for nnweb 25 years, 2 months

Stephen Tse

Hi Lars, is the official nnweb fixed for deja searching yet? I made a xemacs-only patch (using non-greedy quantifier regexp) which is working just fine for months in my machine. I can't do the gnu emacs part but I want to share the wonder of nnweb with other xemacs users. Would you like to consider putting (if (featurep 'xemacs) (require 'deja)) in nnweb.el and adding my deja.el in your distribution? nnweb.el does not have any load hook that makes it hard to do seamless fix.

I submitted an udp patch eariler but no one confirms with anything. I checked the main cvs today and it is not there. Is it in some branch of cvs? Can anyone give me some idea?
