No on the Mule stuff.
Oh, in that case, that's the problem. Back in the dark ages, there
was no reasonable alternative to a 7-bit ISO encoding for the Mule
files, but a no-Mule XEmacs will read those as syntax errors. That's
why we need a separate mule-packages subhierarchy in the first place.
To fix: In the root of the packages, in Local.rules, set
BUILD_WITHOUT_MULE = t
If you want to save space, you can just delete the whole
packages/mule-packages hierarchy. You do need that Make variable,
though, see below for AUCTeX, and there may be others that need that
setting.
I remember Ville having to help me get going before, but I'm not
entirely
sure what he had me do. If I cd into the xemacs-packages subdirectory then
"make clean && make" I get a different error:
xemacs -no-autoloads -vanilla -batch -eval '(setq
stack-trace-on-error t load-always-display-messages t load-ignore-out-of-date-elc-files t
load-show-full-path-in-messages t)' -eval '(setq load-path (list (expand-file-name
"mule" lisp-directory) lisp-directory))' -l
/Users/skip/src/packages/package-compile.el -- xemacs-base -- -l lpath.el -f
batch-byte-compile tex-jp.el
*sigh* That shouldn't happen, let me look ... OK. I'm hopeful that
setting BUILD_WITHOUT_MULE will fix this too.
