um got a really strange problem when i compiled this
i cant see some of the buttons
i shutdown and restarted after i did the make install
and i was about to build the new version of 21.5
so i started adrians build package and none of the buttons showed up
have been playing around with my .Xdefaults ( from the sample one in 21.4 )
i thought it might be a colour thing but that wasnt it
so i looked at the configure interface and the "set" "save" and
"done" buttons dont show up there
the other ones are fine
i havent changed my system since last build
um not sure what is wrong
not sure where to start looking
any ideas anyone ???
ok an update on this
i have been accepting the default for athena support for ever,
up until this relaese if has found athena and been using xaw by default,
but this release needs to be told to use athena,
i done have motif installed, i do have the mesa libs (needed by gnome)
i have adjusted my configure options to include athena
my old and new Instalation files are below
its probably not really a bug but could be annoying for a newbie without optional x libs
installed
when they start their funky new editor only to discover the widgets dont show up
i will have a go at making a patch for this (might take me a bit) and submit it to
patches
i have not made a patch for XEmacs yet so this will be my first attempt
and i dont completely understand configure scripts yet
i havent rebuilt 21.4.4 yet but the configure output looks good
will keep you posted on my progress
if anyone wants my output from configure let me know
here are the options i used to use for configure
sh configure '--with-sound=none' '--prefix=/usr/X11R6'
'--srcdir=/Data/Hacking/src/xemacs/xemacs-21.4' '--extra-verbose'
'--with-modules' '--with-site-lisp' '--with-site-modules'
'--infopath=/usr/X11R6/info' '--with-prefix'
'--site-includes=/usr/include:/usr/local/include:/usr/X11R6/include'
'--site-libraries=/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib'
these produce the following section in Instalation when compiling 21.4.4
Window System:

- X Windows headers location: /usr/X11R6/include
- X Windows libraries location: /usr/X11R6/lib

'--prefix=/usr/X11R6' '--srcdir=/Data/Hacking/src/xemacs/xemacs-21.4'
