David> Still looking for a reason everyone else can build David> xemacs-21.5.3/i686-pc-cygwin but I cannot. David> Does the "temacs" run load the local site-lisp files or the David> user's init file(s)? Don't think so. Have a look at (locate-library "site-load") "...\\xemacs-21.5\\lisp\\site-load.el" It's the mechanism to dump site-specific lisp. Here's an excerpt: (defvar site-load-package-file "../site-packages" "File name containing the list of extra packages to dump with XEmacs.") (defvar site-load-packages nil "A list of .elc files that should be dumped with XEmacs. This variable should be set by `site-load-package-file'.") My site-start.el doess not get used. It does get used by make check and make check-temacs Hope this helps, Adrian David> -- David> David A. Cobb, Software Engineer, Public Access Advocate, All around David> nice guy.
