This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Please describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have.
================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
I have compiled XEmacs 21.4.8 by myself and it worked without
errors. But since the first time I ran it the buffers tab does not
appear. The menu option "Options/Display/Buffers Tab Visible" *is*
checked.
Previously I was using XEmacs 21.4.6 that came with Linux Mandrake 8.2
and the buffers tab was showing. Should I stay with this older
version?
My configuration is: Pentium III 933 Mhz, 196 MB RAM, 125 MB swap,
Mandrake Linux 8.2, Window Maker 0.8.0.

Hi Geraldo!
Do you get any errors when you toggle
Options/Display/Buffers Tab Visible
?
Does the toggling not make the tabs visible/invisible?

I don't think so.
Try enabling buffers tabs this way:
(custom-set-variables '(gutter-buffers-tab-visible-p t))
or disabling this way:
(custom-set-variables '(gutter-buffers-tab-visible-p nil))
just for debugging purposes.

In order to get widgets you need --with-widgets.
This is very complex and platform-dependent; see configure --usage.
Descriptions with respect to what is autodetected etc may not be
accurate for your platform.
You may be missing some necessary libraries, or their *-dev.rpm's.

See? No widgets. Should say:
Using Athena dialog boxes.
Using Athena native widgets.
or something like that.

Right, but didn't we stop auto-detecting at some point (late) in the
release cycle. Can we fix this please? Pretty please?
Maybe we can co-opt Daniel to take another look at whatever the latest
complaint was. I thought it worked pretty well before.

Not intentionally; it's a side effect of fixing other breakage.
We currently turn off widgets in the following circumstances:
1) the user has --with-widgets=no
2) X11R4 is detected
3) we fall through to "lucid" and neither Athena nor Motif has been
detected by that point
So there's evidently something buggy in detection of Athena (or less
likely, Motif), or in the order of tests, but that is such a mess I
hesitate to fool with it. If Dan or Jan (Jan touched it last, IIRC)
wants to try....

Ok, if its not intentional I will take another look.
We currently turn off widgets in the following circumstances:
1) the user has --with-widgets=no
2) X11R4 is detected
3) we fall through to "lucid" and neither Athena nor Motif has been
detected by that point
This all seems reasonable.
So there's evidently something buggy in detection of Athena (or
less
Right.
likely, Motif), or in the order of tests, but that is such a mess I
hesitate to fool with it. If Dan or Jan (Jan touched it last, IIRC)
wants to try....
Jan's fix simply made sure that Motif did in fact get used when it was
detected (or something of that order). I think we still switch off if all
we can detect is Athena.

Here's the code:
case "$with_widgets" in "" | "yes" | "lucid")
if test "$have_motif" = "yes"; then
with_widgets="motif"
elif test "$have_xaw" = "yes"; then
with_widgets="athena"
else with_widgets=no
fi ;;
esac
I have to read that as "oops, have_xaw != yes" here. Perhaps this is
the problem:
dnl We don't automatically trigger widgets if athena is present
dnl because of stability concerns.
dnl But if the user wants widgets, still offer him autodetections
case "$with_widgets" in
"yes" | "athena") detect_athena=yes ;;
*) detect_athena=no ;;
esac
Do you have any idea what the "stability concerns" were?
Jan? That looks like it's from your commit of 2002-01-09.

[Sorry for my current inactivity, especially on the syntax cache
issue. This time I do have a particularly good excuse for not giving
XEmacs my full atention of the last few months: I have only just
returned from my wedding in Holland and our honeymoon. :-). Please
tell me if my help is still needed, I'll try and squeeze in some time]

Although I wrote that comment, I was just documenting the then status quo.
IIRC it was turned off earlier, by you even, with the reason being that
1. athena tab widget in particular being not so robust
2. Loads of suspicous X warnings being generated
3. Continuing detection problems on Debian
you thought it was safer to accept a patch defaulting it to off when only
athena was present.
Maybe this situation has changed now.
What my change was that IF the user said --with-widgets=yes, but then
we should at least try and be helpfull and try and find athena for him.
Is this causing some problem? [sorry for not reading the thread but the account
that is subscribed to the mailing lists is megabytes behind]

New subject: buffers tab does not appear - now it apears :)

It worked! The problem was the option Stephen mentioned, I ran
"configure" with: "--with-widgets=athena", and after building and
running XEmacs, the buffer tab was there! :-)
Thank you guys,
