Benefits of Cygwin for Native Windows XEmacs

Goto Index

Do not use Cygwin ftp in native Windows XEmacs! It does not work. Just rename cygwin/bin/ftp.exe to cygwin/bin/ftp.exe.orig and EFS should work as well.

Please see Cygwin Information and Installation for the details. Following programs are necessary to make the listed XEmacs Packages work on Windows.

XEmacs Package	Cygwin Program
debug	perl, python
ediff	diff, diff3
efs	use c:\WINNT\system32\FTP.EXE instead!
igrep	find, grep
ispell	aspell
jde	find, grep, xargs
pcl-cvs	cvs
prog-modes	perl, python
ocaml	find, grep, xargs
tramp	scp, ssh
vc	cvs, rcs
xemacs-base	grep

Various Binaries and Libraries

The file optional-libs.exe contains binaries for common graphics libraries needed for building XEmacs and for zlib, needed to support the PNG library. This isa self-extracting executable, which will install pre-built binaries for all of the optional graphics libraries needed by XEmacs, in the correct hierarchy as expected by XEmacs. Then just set the OPTIONAL_LIBRARY_DIR parameter to the appropriate directory in which you installed the libraries (by default, c:\src).

We no longer provide binaries for CVS, SSH or patch. If you want these, just install Cygwin, which provides versions of these and all other common Unix utilities, has an easy install program, and is frequently updated.
