Has this ever worked for _anyone_ under X? it certainly didn't work for me, but I was under the impression that I made a mistake or that it would be a well known bug, so I never got around to report it :-( jtl

21.2.29 build failure with canna 24 years, 3 months

Yoshiki Hayashi

There's some report at xemacs-beta-ja that XEmacs 21.2.29 can't build with --with-canna option. Typical error is like this: EMACSBOOTSTRAPLOADPATH="/export/home2/syrinx/can/work/Emacs/Xemacs/21.2/xemacs.can/src/../lisp/:/export/home2/syrinx/can/work/Emacs/Xemacs/21.2/xemacs.can" EMACSBOOTSTRAPMODULEPATH="/export/home2/syrinx/can/work/Emacs/Xemacs/21.2/xemacs.can/src/../modules/:/export/home2/syrinx/can/work/Emacs/Xemacs/21.2/xemacs.can" ./temacs -batch -l /export/home2/syrinx/can/work/Emacs/Xemacs/21.2/xemacs.can/src/../lisp/update-elc.el Fatal error: assertion failed, file alloc.c, line 2495, abort() *** Error code 134 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `update-elc.stamp' Current working directory /export/home2/syrinx/can/work/Emacs/Xemacs/21.2/xemacs.can/src *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `src' He said he can compile XEmacs using --with-canna=no. Abort occurs at: void dumpopaque (void *varaddress, size_t size) { if (dumpopaqueidx >= countof (dumpopaquevec)) abort (); With below change, now DEFVAR_INT and stuff is stored at dumpopaquevec, which size is 200. 2000-02-10 Olivier Galibert <galibert(a)pobox.com> * symeval.h (struct symbol_value_magic): Remove "next" kludge and use a value field instead.

More than half comes from mule-canna.c. It's possible some of them are #ifdef'ed out, but there's 234 entry which might be in dumpopaquevec. And no wander why people not using canna, includes myself, saw no problem. Now I know the problem, but I don't know that code enough to provide a fix. Olivier? -- Yoshiki Hayashi

Ugh oh... gtk is for sure not any longer "fast and lean"... it's still fast enough, though. And for the bugs: Gtk is besides Motif/lesstif (and QT, which isn't considered here) the only of the used widget libs that has proven to be able to deliver big, nice looking and working GUI applications. It's the only one that is in active development AND bugfixing mode (this is sure right for lesstif, too, but they strive for emulation, which limits the way it can be changed) I don't see any big Xaw apps being made any longer. GTK is simply _supported_. Neither do I see anything using the lucid widget set (for obvious reasons) jtl

I've hacked Gtk, and it's no bed of roses, in fact it's buggy as hell, and about as inefficient. The story of Gtk being "fast and lean" belong to 1990's.

Installing 21.2.x in parallel with 21.1.x 24 years, 3 months

Jake Colman

I built and installed 21.1.x from sources and installed it off of my home directory (prefix=$HOME). I also installed all the packages in the default locations relative to my home directory. I'd like to download the latest beta release from the CVS server and install it (and it's associated packages) such that it will not conflict with my 21.1.x installation. How can I do this? I did read the web pages at cvs.xemacs.org but I'm not sure how I can follow these instructions and keep the two installation safely in parallel. TIA! -- Jake Colman Principia Partners LLC Phone: (201) 946-0300 Harborside Financial Center Fax: (201) 946-0320 902 Plaza II Beeper: (800) 928-4640 Jersey City, NJ 07311 E-mail: colman(a)ppllc.com E-mail: jcolman(a)jnc.com web: http://www.ppllc.com microsoft: "where do you want to go today?" linux: "where do you want to go tomorrow?"

Yes. But then the number of toolkits has just increased by one. It would be much nicer if you could (at least eventually) drop support for the rest. Jan
