I routinely build XEmacs here at work on SunOS-4.1.4 and SunOS-5.5 in order to make sure no major breakage occurs between releases. I do not have sufficient time to spend major hours on this, but it provides a simple sanity check on 21.1 and 21.2 development status. Last week I decided it would be nice to share the architecture-independent data directories between the 4.1 and 5.5 builds. I have not been able to get this to work under 21.2 from CVS. In order to accomplish this, I'm specifying --datadir to configure; after doing this, 'make beta' and 'make check' work fine, but 'make install' fails. Here's how: configure command: /u/shelton/new/src/xemacs-21.2-2000-11-23/configure --prefix=/u/shelton/new/SunOS-5.5/xemacs-21.2-2000-11-23 --with-gcc --site-includes=/u/shelton/new/SunOS-5.5/include --site-libraries=/u/shelton/new/SunOS-5.5/lib --infopath=/u/shelton/new/info --with-mule=no --compiler=gcc '--cflags=-O2 -pipe -ffast-math -fno-exceptions' --with-dialogs=no --with-widgets=no --package-path=/u/shelton/new/site-packages::/u/shelton/new/xemacs-packages --datadir=/u/shelton/new/share --debug=no --error-checking=none Following is the output of 'make TAGS install'; note the following anomalies: (a) "Error: Library file backquote not found" (b) File error: "Cannot open load file", "custom" (c) Load file subr: not found inst.out: If you don't have a copy of etags around, then do 'make lib-src' first. rm -f /u/shelton/new/src/xemacs-21.2-2000-11-23/TAGS Using etags from /u/shelton/new/build/SunOS-5.5/xemacs-21.2-2000-11-23/lib-src/etags.
