Built on Windows 2000 Pro, MSVC6, XEmacs version 21.5.14 (this was in 13 as well). No changes to the base stuff, just built (with optimisation on, no debugging, but that makes no difference). Starting XEmacs from anywhere other than the directory of the executable gives error WARNING: Couldn't find an obvious default for the root of the XEmacs hierarchy. WARNING: Couldn't find obvious defaults for: doc-directory data-directory exec-directory mule-lisp-directory lisp-directory Perhaps some directories don't exist, or the XEmacs executable, c:\Apps\XEmacs\XEmacs-21.5-b14\i586-pc-win32\xemacs.exe is in a strange place? The following patch seems to fix it, but is probably wrong :-( There is no lib-src directory in an NT installed copy. --- setup-paths.el.orig 2003-03-09 01:37:38.000000000 +0000 +++ setup-paths.el 2003-06-06 16:09:45.000000000 +0100 ＠＠ -123,7 +123,7 ＠＠ ;; don't exist. instead, xemacs.mak points configure-lisp-directory and ;; configure-data-directory at the right places.
