Xemacs, Vista, and package install (ftp problem)
18 years
Finch, Ralph
21.5.27 native binary for Windows (Vista Ultimate with all updates).
I'm trying to use Xemacs under Vista Ultimate....everything works well
except when I try to update the package index, ftp doesn't work. I get
a popup dialog that says "*ftp anonymous(a)ftp.xemacs.org* seems not a
pty. Kill?"
I have cygwin installed on this machine, but use Windows' ftp (besides I
don't find a cygwin ftp.exe in .../bin/). I've googled for the above
error message and there are posts about it but I've not been able to
find a clear solution.
My real objective is to run gnus. When I try that an error message in
the minibuffer window appears: "Cannot open load file: %s: sha1".
I have Xemacs working great on an XP Pro machine, and hope it can work
equally well with Vista. Hey I'd rather be using Unix or a variant,
but....

By the way, this is weird. The corruption of your ♥ should have been
eliminated with the just-in-time Unicode allocation you suggested, and your
user-agent line suggest you’re running XEmacs 21.5.28, but nonetheless it
arrived in my spool file encoded as "\xef\xbf\xbd" in C notation.

As I said, I don’t know why the former syntax doesn’t work for you. It works
for me, and the only possible reason I can think of for it not working is an
old X server that doesn’t support Markus Kuhn’s keysym extensions (proposed
in 1998).

Yes, my mistake.

Yup. Upgrade your leim package, and it should go away. No, I don’t have a
better suggestion for an automated means to check that the input method we
specify for a given language environment is available beyond ‘install leim
and do make check’.

Why no __attribute__ ((unused)) for g++?
18 years
Stephen J. Turnbull
In compiler.h we have
#ifndef UNUSED
# if defined(__GNUC__) && !defined(__cplusplus) && !defined(__INTEL_COMPILER)
# define ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED __attribute__ ((unused))
# else
# define ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED
# endif
Why isn't this done for C++? At least for g++ 4.1.2 it works fine
(and it suppresses a bunch of warnings).
Jerry?

Ispell for Xemacs 21.1 for windows
18 years
Edgardo De Leon
Hi,
I have just installed Xemacs 21.1 for Windows and I have included the
ispell tool package. However,
for some reason the ispell programm does not work. Any time I start the
ispell buffer, the following error
shows up "Searching for Program: No such file or directory, ispell"
Any idea how I can fix this?
thanks.

That's way old, we've fixed *a lot* of crashes since then.

This is often distro-specific or perhaps you have an inappropriate
CFLAGS environment setting or something like that. That may or may
not apply to you, but we've very little information to go on here.
Feel free to send us the configure command line(s) you've tried and
config.log if you can't figure out what the problem is, but you're
likely to get better/faster help from a Red Hat or Fedora channel, so
try that too.

Possibly relevant, but XEmacs has worked fine on many 64-bit processors
and OSes since 1999. We have found *some* word-length issues every so
often (including some warnings and one audio-related crash recently),
but I would look to other issues, especially in the case of the build
failures.
