Jan> You are supposed to be able to just type "make" in the toplevel directory. OK. Maybe it is the fact that I haven't build xemacs with mule support that is the problem. When I do a simple make I get the following problem in mule-base. (And trying to compile things there seems to be a bad idea if no mule support is available. Right!?) make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/xemacs-packages/mule/mule-base' /usr/local/src/xemacs/src/xemacs -vanilla -batch \ -eval "(setq autoload-package-name \"mule-base\")" \ -l autoload -f batch-update-directory . Updating autoloads in directory /usr/local/src/xemacs-packages/mule/mule-base...Generating autoloads for mule-base/_pkg.el... No autoloads found in mule-base/canna.el Generating autoloads for mule-base/char-table.el... Unbalanced parentheses xemacs exiting. make[2]: *** [auto-autoloads.el] Error 255 Well I removed the mule directory from SUBDIRS in the top Makefile and things started to compile. ;-) I guess I'm on my way.
