Assumptions:
To get UTF-8 support in XEmacs on a PC (Windows XP) I need to
build my own XEmacs because no currently available binary
version includes MULE support, which I believe is a
prerequisite to UTF-8 support.
I want to build XEmacs 21.4.20 and I believe that I need to
start with the latest available source files which seem to be
from 21.4.17:
xemacs-21.4.17-src.tar.gz
xemacs-21.4.17-elc.tar.gz
xemacs-21.4.17-info.tar.gz
I then need to apply these patches (in this order):
xemacs-21.4.17-21.4.18.patch
xemacs-21.4.18-21.4.19.patch
xemacs-21.4.19-21.4.20.patch
Then I can begin the build process using my Cygwin tools.
Question: Are these the right assumptions and preparatory
steps?
Actually, you can get the 21.4.20 tarball from
http://ftp.xemacs.org/xemacs-21.4/xemacs-21.4.20.tar.bz2 .
And you can run configure and make to build under cygwin.
But, I don't think that will give you UTF-8 support. Mule is
currently not well supported on 21.4 at least under Windows; I don't
know whether the situation is better under Cygwin.
HTH,
Vin

21.5.27 (not current CVS) is sufficiently stable that 21.4 + MULE on
Windows is probably not worth it. You can limp along with the
mule-ucs package and get support for editing files containing UTF-8
content, and random additional features, but there will be no support
at all for Windows Unicode APIs.
But, I don't think that will give you UTF-8 support.
For UTF-8 he also needs the mule-ucs package, which is deprecated and
orphaned, except for the occasional patch from Aidan.
Mule is currently not well supported on 21.4 at least under Windows;
I don't
know whether the situation is better under Cygwin.
It's probably substantially better if he's willing to build and use
the X Window System support rather than native Windows GUI. However,
I can't recommend use of XEmacs 21.4 specifically to work with Unicode
on any platform.
