Hello,
can someone out there perhaps share a runnable 21.0 binary which runs
under NT with X, and a compiled X11R6 lib? I just ask as a last resort ;)
We have to make a notebook-demo of an integrated software system next
week, including XEmacs, which by sideconditions of other software can
either run under Solaris or under NT. But the notebook only operates
NT or Linux.
The XEmacs part of the software depends on self-defined X fonts, so
the native GUI doesn't helps. It seems that fonts are generally not
supported at the moment, so converting the fonts to TTF or so doesn't
helps either.
I've now tried for some time to compile the X version of 21.0.64,
including the X11R6 libraries, working the first time in my life on
this brain-damaged NT platform. After hacking a bunch of problems with
conflicting headers, missing symbols, etc., the compile finally
succeeded. However, after successfull startup the XEmacs hangs
complaining about a "select" failure. A problem may be that we have
only MVC 6.0 instead of the approved MVC 4 or 5, but the time is to
short now for backtracking. (There have been a mess of warnings during
compilation of both the X11 libs and XEmacs.)
So if someone has a compiled 21.0, and a compiled X11R6 lib, which
works for a server such as MIX (we also have Vision), and can put it
for a moment on the net, that would be really great. To motivate you,
the XEmacs part of our demo is a cool presentation of the XEmacs
facilities ;). It realizes a WYSIWYM (what-you-see-is-what-you-mean)
mode for LaTeX including symbolic math stuff.
Regards and perhaps many thanks,
Wolfgang
