this is the version i use regularly. compilation should not be too
hard; copy nt/config.inc.samp to config.inc, make any changes, run
`nmake -f xemacs.mak'. see the README. there are precompiled optional
libraries on the www.xemacs.org web site.
Well, it's not that easy:
- Get VC++ Toolkit
- First I installed Platform SDK
- Set up LIB & INCLUDE env variables
- Downloaded XEmacs external libs
- Set up config.inc
- Try to compile
- Notice that setargv,obj is missing - perlwin32 man page had
instruction how to make it (cl.exe /c /I. /D_CRTBLD setargv.c)
- Then compilation stops with missing MSVCRTD.lib, which I could not
find instructions to download
I'll dig around, but shortcuts appreciated.
