X-Authentication-Warning: delorie.com: mail set sender to djgpp-bounces using -f X-Recipient: djgpp AT delorie DOT com Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2008 13:30:24 +0200 From: Eli Zaretskii Subject: DJGPP port of Emacs 23 X-012-Sender: halo1 AT inter DOT net DOT il To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com Message-id: Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com The DJGPP port of GNU Emacs was unmaintained for several years, which caused it to bit-rot, although the latest official release 22.3 still builds out of the box. However, the DJGPP build of the development version in CVS was broken for quite some time and would not even compile, let alone run. Recently, I have resumed maintaining the DJGPP Emacs, and in particular the CVS code now builds and works for me. Bootstrap (which is necessary if you build the CVS version, see below) also works. Kudos to Rugxulo who helped me lately to make it work reasonably well on Vista (my own experience is mainly on XP SP2). If there are still users on this forum who run DJGPP tools on DOS or Windows platforms, I would encourage you to try the CVS version now. This is because Emacs 23 will be released soon, and I would like to have it tested by as many DJGPP users as possible, to find and weed out any remaining problems. The development version is quite stable, and can be used for everyday work without fear of frequent crashes. You can find the instructions for getting the development version of Emacs from CVS here: http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=emacs After downloading the sources, read the file msdos/INSTALL for build instructions. Thanks in advance!
