Hello.
I have just compiled XEmacs 21.4.6 on my RedHat Linux 7.2 (with
updates) computer. The Instalation file is attached.
I have tried it with FreeBSD 4-4, with similar results.
When I try to open a file using the menu (File -> Open), the
open file dialog quickly disapears and the message
Symbol's function definition is void: make-annotation
is left in the message window.
I have found that make-annotation is defined in the xemacs-base package.
But shouldn't XEmacs work flawleslly without any packages. As I
understand that is indeed the reason for having the packages being
distributed separately from it, isn't it? So I believe it is a bug
and there are only two options:
1) do not use make-annotation in the XEmacs source distribution
2) define make-annotation and distribute it with the XEmacs
source distribution.
Trying to open a file with the keyboard (C-x C-f) also fails
with the following message
Symbol's value as varixable is void: file-p
in the message window. But after some tries, the command works.
Then it does not work anymore, with the message above.
This one is still to be explained.
Any clues?
