Re: xft xemacs & x resources

giacomo> 0. is it possible to specify to configure the name of the giacomo> executable to be installed? Probably, but you'd have to do some fiddling, I'm afraid. In any case point 2 below means you want to install into a separate hierarchy. giacomo> 1. is it possible to somehow differentiate the resources giacomo> used by xemacs and the resources used by the xft branch? Yes. Use the Xt option -name or a symlink, for example $ ln -s src/xemacs xft-xemacs $ xrdb -merge xft-xemacs.default.attributeFont: Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-14 ^D $ xft-xemacs -title "Symlinked XEmacs" & $ src/xemacs -name xft-xemacs -title "Xt -name'ed XEmacs" & should start up two instances with different frame titles but both with Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-14 as the default face. giacomo> 2. so far, so good: 21.5b19 installs the core lisp into giacomo> its own hierarchy, and the xft branch installs its core giacomo> lisp under a different (b18) tree giacomo> when xft will receive the status of b19, is there the giacomo> potential for a conflict? Yes. So use --prefix=/opt/xemacs-xft or something like that to specify location to the installer. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
