[Mostly success] XEmacs 21.0-b38 "Repartida" on Solaris-2.5
This is my first build of the 21.0 series. I grabbed the source using
cvs, and the packages from the "binary" tarballs, and am running in
place using packages stored on another filesystem.
The build was surprisingly (considering my ignorance) smooth, with
just a couple glitches:
(1) trying to run `xemacs -q', XEmacs bailed out looking for
pending-del. I went to the packages site,
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/beta/xemacs-21.0/packages/
and after a few bad guesses, finally figured out it would be in
the pc-*pkg.tar.gz package. If this is required under `-q',
shouldn't it be in the base package (or is my local setup
somehow messed up even with `-q')?
(2) I built with `--with-workshop', and after applying the patch
suggested in
Message-ID: <m2iunkv6jh.fsf(a)altair.xemacs.org>
by Jason and Andrew and generalized by Steve, I do get the
menubar entry for `Start Workshop'. But it then fails trying to
load "vc-hooks" (see below). I'm trying to move away from vc.el
to pcl-cvs, so I haven't installed vc.el. Note that we have the
eserve.el as distributed by SUN with patch #104731-05. I've put
it up on our anonymous ftp server,
ftp://ftp.cdc.noaa.gov/Public/borges/outgoing/eserve.el
in case it's not generally available.
