Folks, if the great SLBaur (and I am not being facetious, I really
mean
that) can't build this thing, we're in a whole heap-o-trouble.
:-)
I've now built XEmacs 21 from scratch[1] on 4 different systems.
We've only regressed back two years not three. It's not impossible to
build from scratch, only lightly-documented and sometimes an adventure
since it isn't being done very often. In other words, things aren't
much different than they were in the days of XEmacs 19.14. That should
change in the very near future.
Footnotes:
[1] Which in this case means no previous .elcs other than mule-base.

Hmm. I'm surprised. I ALWAYS build from scratch, then re-apply my local
stuff. I would have thought others would do the same.
I guess it comes from my having to rebuild NT so often :-)

Hmm. I'm surprised. I ALWAYS build from scratch, then re-apply my local

I, too, now always rebuild from scratch. I got burned when a patch for
the package I maintain didn't get to the CVS tree. But, since my
version was OK, it kept building fine for me.
I was horrified when, just before a possible 21.0 release date, I
found that a build from scratch failed. The patch is now in the CVS
tree, but I now make it policy to build at least once from scratch,
just to be safe. Paranoia is not always a bad thing. :-)
And I almost ALWAYS hit glitches in loading/building the packages. -:(
But it seems to be getting better. A mite troubling when I hear Steve
is having a problem!
Guess I'll try building pre8 since I have not built anything since
pre4. Could be a long day (or not).
