WARNING: Error checking is on by default for XEmacs beta releases. WARNING: --------------------------------------------------------- My comments: 1. If I ran configure without '--x-includes=/usr/openwin/share/include', then the variables x_libraries and x_includes would not be set correctly--they ended up being set to x_libraries: /usr/dt/lib /usr/openwin/lib x_includes: /usr/dt/include /usr/X11R6/include Even though /usr/openwin/share/include exists and contains the appropriate things, this part of the 'configure' was not defining x_includes properly (after this part of the script, x_includes was still "NONE"). I noticed that the PROBLEMS file in the distribution mentions something about this: *** Problems finding X11 libraries on Solaris with Openwindows Some users have reported problems in this area. The reported solution is to define the environment variable OPENWINHOME, even if you must set it to `/usr/openwin'. I do have this variable set to /usr/openwin, and it didn't help me. 2. Running configure without the option '--with-cde=no' leads to this problem: gcc -c -g -O3 -Wall -Wno-switch -Demacs -I. -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I/afs/nd.edu/user4/jpalmier/lib/include -I/usr/dt/include -I/usr/openwin/share/include frame-x.c frame-x.c:975: Dt/Dt.h: No such file or directory frame-x.c:976: Dt/Dnd.h: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [frame-x.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/afs/nd.edu/user4/jpalmier/silly/transfers/xemacs-21.2-b3/src' make: *** [src] Error 2 Did I do something wrong, or did configure? -- John H.
