stray @lockdir@ (xemacs-21.2 CVS) 23 years, 6 months

Yoshiaki Kasahara

When I do 'make install' in the top directory, '＠lockdir＠' is created in the current dir. I believe 'lockdir' had been removed from configure several months ago, but Makefile.in still contains several lockdir-related codes. ＠lockdir＠ won't substituted, so '＠lockdir＠' is created in the current directory. -- Yoshiaki Kasahara Computing and Communications Center, Kyushu University kasahara(a)nc.kyushu-u.ac.jp

Re: RFC: xemacsweb - XEmacs vs. GNU Emacs 23 years, 6 months

Hi Troy, we need a lot more info. That's how problems can get solved: facts. How did you get the sources (CVS or tarballs)? If CVS, what's the command you used to get the sources you built from?

So you did a Windows native build, right? Please send us your xemacs/nt/config.inc file then. Did you use the portable dumper option (we can tell from config.inc)?

RE: (setq indent-tabs-mode nil) not working in 21.2b36 on NT? 23 years, 6 months

Troy Noble

Hey all, I compiled XEmacs 21.2 b36 from sources with Visual C++ 5.0 on my own machine in anticipation of firing up a debug session and looking in the problem some more (namely indent_to in indent.c. does not honor indent-tabs-mode=nil setting). Guess what, indent-tabs-mode = nil works just fine in my compiled version. Very puzzling. So I'm not sure why the pre-compiled binary of XEmacs-21.2-b36-win32.zip off the net is broken. Also makes me wonder what else is broken in that same beta build??? Guess I need to send a mail to the individual who builds the kit and find out how they built it and try to put our heads together to figure out why their binary didn't work and mine did. In theory, they should function identically, right? Is it possible to run strings and grep out the version ID's of all the C files used to build the program? Maybe I'll try that. I suppose that won't work thought if the binary was stripped... My thought here is that maybe we both used different versions of the source to build from? I would hope not though.

Re: xemacs binary for irix 6.3 23 years, 6 months

Vin Shelton

Ivar, It seems that we only have the binaries for Irix 6.5 at ftp.xemacs.org. I've forwarded your message to the xemacs-beta list, where someone will respond if they know where any 6.3 binaries are. What problems did you have with building (which version of?) XEmacs under Irix 6.3? It may require gcc, IIRC.
