Hi, I attached the patch[1] for fixing the following problem: % cd gnus % ./configure --with-emacs=xemacs-21.4.17 % make MAKEINFO=no info cd texi && make EMACS="xemacs-21.4.17" all make[1]: Entering directory `/Work/gnus/texi' if test "xno" != "xno" ; then \ LC_ALL=C no -I . --enable-encoding -o gnus gnus.texi; \ else \ rm -f gnus; \ xemacs-21.4.17 -batch -q -no-site-file -l ./infohack.el -f batch-makeinfo gnus.texi; \ fi ^GSymbol's function definition is void: line-end-position xemacs exiting . make[1]: *** [gnus] Error 255 make[1]: Leaving directory `/Work/gnus/texi' make: *** [info] Error 2 Although I have the makeinfo command, it cannot be used for Info files written in non-Latin text, for example, Japanese, so we often need to use texinfmt (they are irrelevant to Gnus, though). In addition to this, I also attached the patch[2] and the patch[3] for making XEmacs silent. It is to synch XEmacs with Emacs. The problem is that XEmacs issues a lot of noises while formatting Info files as follows: Formatting: The Gnus Newsreader ... /Work/gnus/texi/gnus clean /Work/gnus/texi/gnus clean /Work/gnus/texi/gnus clean /Work/gnus/texi/gnus clean /Work/gnus/texi/gnus clean /Work/gnus/texi/gnus clean /Work/gnus/texi/gnus clean /Work/gnus/texi/gnus clean /Work/gnus/texi/gnus clean /Work/gnus/texi/gnus clean /Work/gnus/texi/gnus clean /Work/gnus/texi/gnus clean /Work/gnus/texi/gnus clean /Work/gnus/texi/gnus clean /Work/gnus/texi/gnus clean /Work/gnus/texi/gnus clean /Work/gnus/texi/gnus clean Formatting: Starting Gnus ... /Work/gnus/texi/gnus clean /Work/gnus/texi/gnus clean /Work/gnus/texi/gnus clean /Work/gnus/texi/gnus clean /Work/gnus/texi/gnus clean /Work/gnus/texi/gnus clean Formatting: Finding the News ...
