Package 'ediff' on Windows XP
Hello,
recently I got XEmacs (21.4.19) installed on Windows XP (SP2). It is
working, however it is not possible to start the 'ediff' package (I
like to compare two files). I got the message:
"Searching for program: No such file or directory, diff"
In directory /pub/xemacs/packages there is obviously no 'diff' package.
On the homepage I read:
"This native Windows setup kit includes a small set of packages:
c-support, cc-mode, debug, dired, ecb, edebug, ediff,
...
Refer to the Quickstart Package Guide for installing further XEmacs
packages to extend the editor's functionality."
Due to my understanding the packages should work without a special
"activation" - or am I wrong? Below please find the "status" of
packages of my installation (showing ediff as installed).
Could you help me? Many thanks in advance.
Best Regards
Torsten Keiler
