Build instructions

The README for the NT build states: 6. By default, XEmacs will look for packages in "c:\Program Files\XEmacs\packages". If you want it to look elsewhere, add this to the nmake command line: PACKAGEPATH="x:\\location\\of\\your\\packages" Note the doubled-up backslashes in that path. If you want to change the package path after you've already built XEmacs, delete the file .\obj\emacs.obj before rebuilding with the new value of PACKAGEPATH. Is should read: 6. By default, XEmacs will look for packages in "c:\Program Files\XEmacs\packages". If you want it to look elsewhere, add this to the nmake command line: PACKAGEPATH=x:\\location\\of\\your\\packages Note the doubled-up backslashes in that path. If you want to change the package path after you've already built XEmacs, delete the file .\obj\emacs.obj before rebuilding with the new value of PACKAGEPATH. Note the ommission of the quotes around the value of the PACKAGEPATH macro. The problem is that the quotes become part of the value, not stripped away as delimiters. Later on in xemacs.mak, there is this assignment: !if !defined(PACKAGEPATH) PATH_PACKAGEPATH="c:\\Program Files\\XEmacs\\packages" !else PATH_PACKAGEPATH="$(PACKAGEPATH)" !endif If you have PACKAGEPATH="X:\\foo", then PATH_PACKAGEPATH is ""X:\\foo"". In emacs.c, this causes compile errors. -- #!/usr/bin/perl -- Matthew O. Persico print "Just Another Perl Neophyte\n"; ## Simplicity is a blessing when you're ## supporting the program at 2AM
