Sorry for the omission. I was trying to install the current version 21.1.14. Any other details you need? I am now actually trying to install binaries using the XEmacs setup utility-- but am still downloading the files, so the outcome is still unknown. This is probably what most people do, rather than building from source files, but it was not at all obvious to me from visiting the Xemacs.org web page that this was an available option. The installation instructions that are readily available at the first pages on the web site all address downloading source and building from source, both for native-mode windows installs and cygwin installs. I also couldn't find any reference to this utility in the Faq pages. It wasn't until someone else told me that they had used a setup utility similar to the Cygwin setup utility that I found the setup.exe on the ftp site. Thanks for your quick response......

I did the configure two ways: ./configure and ./configure --without-x11 the make was with no options: make and the result: cd ./lib-src && make - --unix CC='gcc' CFLAGS='-g -O2 -Wall -Wno-switch' LDFLAGS='' CPPFLAGS='' all make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/xemacs-21.1.14/lib-src' gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-switch -Demacs -I../src -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Wno-sign-compare -fno-caller-saves /usr/src/xemacs-21.1.14/lib-src/movemail.c /usr/src/xemacs-21.1.14/lib-src/pop.c \ getopt.o getopt1.o regex.o -Xlinker -R/usr/X11R6/bin -lgdbm -lncurses -lm -lwinmm -lshell32 -lgdi32 -luser32 -lcomctl32 -o movemail In file included from /usr/src/xemacs-21.1.14/lib-src/movemail.c:58: ../src/../src/config.h:585: warning: `HAVE_NATIVE_SOUND' redefined ../src/../src/s/cygwin32.h:187: warning: this is the location of the previous definition In file included from /usr/src/xemacs-21.1.14/lib-src/movemail.c:68: /usr/src/xemacs-21.1.14/lib-src/getopt.h:82: redefinition of `struct option' /usr/src/xemacs-21.1.14/lib-src/getopt.h:111: conflicting types for `getopt_long' /usr/include/getopt.h:56: previous declaration of `getopt_long' In file included from /usr/src/xemacs-21.1.14/lib-src/pop.c:24: ../src/../src/config.h:585: warning: `HAVE_NATIVE_SOUND' redefined ../src/../src/s/cygwin32.h:187: warning: this is the location of the previous definition make[1]: *** [movemail] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/xemacs-21.1.14/lib-src' make: *** [lib-src] Error 2 I got the same result from the make for both ways of doing configure; however, when doing the configure without the --without-x11 option, I got an NT error message about not being able to find libXpm.dll By the way, when using the setup utility, I successfully installed xemacs as a cygwin application.
