So far, so good. Oh, one minor: although I used
--with-dialogs=lucid, configure opted for Motif dialog boxes.
That's because Lucid dialog boxes don't work.
Well, and now for the big problem: I don't understand the
package
system. Point. Anybody want to give me a hand ?
Quick intro: download the binary packages you're interested in, untar
them somewhere, and configure with --package-path=PACKAGE-DIRECTORY,
where PACKAGE-DIRECTORY is the directory where you untarred the
packages.
That appears to work for me.
(1) `read-kbd-macro' requires an explicit (require 'edmacro)
which it didn't before.
Not for me.
One final note: I believe that 21.0 needs a LOT of documentation,
especially on the package stuff. Yes, I found etc/PACKAGES. But this
explains absolutely nothing. Especially new XEmacs users will never
know what they need or don't need.
Couldn't agree more.
[2] I can imagine that all this package stuff has been explained and
discussed all over. Fine. But I cannot read the whole beta-ml
archive just to find out what I have to do in order to get a working
XEmacs (instead a clear instruction is all I need).
Well, I've been on xemacs-beta for almost two years now, and yet I
don't understand the package stuff.

And this does what ? Simply untarring the packages into the correct
place_after_ I installed a (naked) XEmacs (i.e. one without packages)
succeeded, too (i.e. I could use my .emacs).
But one question remained unanswered: which packages need to be
available _before_ building XEmacs ? VM ? Gnus ? And how do I know
before I download the packages and have a running 21.0bXX which gives
me package-*-functions ?
