Jan, prior to the introduction of packages, there was no need to
`make
install' to get things to work. I want it to be possible to download a
single tarball and simply do "configure; make" and have things work when you
run the executable.
I must be misunderstanding you, because that already works for me! I
run XEmacs in-place like this all the time. (The only problem is with
$topdir != $srcdir, but that just means configure should be tweaked to
create links for ../xemacs-packages and ../site-packages, just like it does
for ../lisp. I create them by hand ATM)
i.e.
tar xzf xemacs-<version>.tar.gz |
cd xemacs-<version> |
tar xzf xemacs-sumo-<date>.tar.gz | This can be made into one big
| tarball.
./configure
make
./src/xemacs
works (at least on Unix, maybe it is different under windows)
What remains to be done (AFAICS) is:
- Make $srcdir != $topdir work
- Copy the contents of the package trees over at "make install"
time.
- make the actuall xemacs-<version>-all.tar.gz tarball and release
the core as xemacs-<version>-core.tar.gz in the future.
- Update docs
