I encountered the following problems in building packages from the CVS sources: make[2]: Entering directory `/opt2/src/xemacs/xemacs-packages/oa/text-modes' /usr/local/src/xemacs/xemacs-beta/src/xemacs -no-autoloads -batch -l ../../package-compile.el -- ispell fsf-compat xemacs-base -- filladapt.el Loading /usr/local/src/xemacs/xemacs-beta/lisp/auto-autoloads...

(file cl-macs.el is newer) While compiling toplevel forms in file /opt2/src/xemacs/xemacs-packages/libs/mail-lib/browse-url.el: !! File error (("Cannot open load file" "term")) Done --------------------------------- Note that I do not have the bbdb package, which probably means I should not have eudc either. I do have term.el from the eterm package. The following warning is thrown when I open my first file: (1) (warning/warning) Autoload error in: /usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/ispell/auto-autoloads: Symbol's value as variable is void: ispell-xemacs How do I fix this one? When compiling viper I ran into a problem with viper.texi. Attached is a patch for that problem. There were two alternatives for fixing this trivial problem, so maybe the author should be consulted. I have no idea about patching - where the patch should go, how it should be created, etc - so advice is welcome. In Domino. Peter -- __ /__ Peter B.
