Hello. When I was attempting to build xemacs 21.5.11 with gtk widgets, on a Debian ('woody') Linux (<tm>!) x86 box, I encountered some problems in the source files -- namely, a thing that gcc refused to accept. I'll list the error messages first and, at the end of this email, the options I'd supplied to 'configure'. when running 'make clean all' : make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/hda1/src/xemacs/xemacs-21.5.11/src' <<snip>> gcc -c <<snip>> event-gtk.c event-gtk.c:84: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype In file included from event-gtk.c:101: event-xlike-inc.c: In function `emacs_gtk_event_pending_p': event-xlike-inc.c:82: `non_fake_input_wait_mask' undeclared (first use in this function) event-xlike-inc.c:82: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once event-xlike-inc.c:82: for each function it appears in.) event-gtk.c: At top level: event-gtk.c:968: warning: no previous prototype for `dragndrop_data_received' event-gtk.c:1060: warning: no previous prototype for `dragndrop_dropped' make[1]: *** [event-gtk.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/hda1/src/xemacs/xemacs-21.5.11/src' make: *** [src] Error 2 ...and that was the end of it. the 'make' died at that. Upon perusing the sources, it looks like the event-gtk.c wasn't completely converted from event-Xt.c Notice lines 105 and 106 in event-Xt.c : -- extern SELECT_TYPE input_wait_mask, non_fake_input_wait_mask; extern SELECT_TYPE process_only_mask, tty_only_mask; -- and the lack of a similar statement on lines 82 and 83 in event-gtk.c : -- extern SELECT_TYPE input_wait_mask, process_only_mask, tty_only_mask; -- I wasn't sure how it all fits together, so i decided to not meddle with it. So, here's some sort of a a build-failure report, for xemacs 21.5.11 with gtk widgets, on the stated architecture. and here's the 'configure' call i'd used with it, originally: configure \ --cflags=-O3 \ --ldflags=-O1 \ --use-kkcc \ --with-gtk \ --without-xim \ --without-xfs \ --with-dragndrop=yes \ --with-ncurses --with-gpm \ --with-xface=no \ --with-sound=esd,nonative \ --with-database=berkdb --with-postgresql \ --with-ldap \ --with-pop \ --with-modules \ --with-site-lisp=yes \ --with-mule=yes \ --with-clash-detection=no -- sean schamp(a)users.sourceforge.net
