The id would be computed at compile time uniquely for the generated executable[2] and would also be put in the header of the .dmp file. This would allow to have multiple installs of xemacs with the same prefix[3]. Except that the doc directory is computed in lisp. So, well, it probably will have to do with the binaries directory. I'd really like to have the -<id> thingy, because for now a lot of people want to have both the -mule et -nomule simultaneously. But Martin is afraid of the appearance over time of numerous xemacs-a6e576b3.dmp files in the directory. Maybe a xemacs-<version>-<id>.dmp. At least we'd know which ones are obsolete. Martin, what do you think of this mess? OG. [1] ${prefix}/lib/xemacs-<version>/<system type>/DOC most of the time [2] Do a (say) crc32 of the stat() of all the .o files just before linking and put it in a .c. Link the .c in. Unique enough. [3] xemacs-mule and xemacs-nomule for instance.
