[ I'm not on the list, please CC: me. ] Hello, I met a core dump of XEmacs I built on NetBSD/i386. I'm trying to use Xaw specifying these arguments (only relevant part). --with-msw=no --with-menubars=no --with-scrollbars=athena --with-dialogs=athena --with-widgets=athena --with-athena=xaw --with-xim=xlib I believe this combination of arguments is 100% okay... Configure and build went fine. Here's a part of configure's output. --------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8< XEmacs 21.4.12 "Portable Code" configured for `i386--netbsdelf'. (snip) Window System: Compiling in support for the X window system: - X Windows headers location: /usr/X11R6/include - X Windows libraries location: /usr/X11R6/lib - Handling WM_COMMAND properly. Compiling in support for the Athena widget set: - Athena headers location: X11/Xaw - Athena library to link: Xaw Using Athena scrollbars. Using Athena dialog boxes. Using Athena native widgets. (snip) --------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8< However, the resulting executable miserably dumps core as soon as invoked. I found that XEmacs's toolkit code uses Lucid functions/codes presuming Lucid objects are always included in the executable. For example, see src/glyphs-x.c:2522, where x_widget_instantiate() unconditionally invokes lw_create_widget(). Actually, Lucid objects are included only if users specify the options to use Lucid. See configure.in:3624, where lwlib-Xlw.o is included if lucid option is specified somewhere in the configure argument. --------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8< (snip) case "$all_widgets" in *lucid* ) AC_DEFINE(NEED_LUCID) XE_APPEND(lwlib-Xlw.o, lwlib_objs) ;; esac (snip) --------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8< I hope I understand things correctly. Thanks in advance. Masao
