3 This directory contains support for compiling and running GNU Emacs on
|
|
|
4 Windows NT and Windows 95. This port supports all of the major
|
|
|
5 functionality of the Unix version, including subprocesses, windowing
|
|
|
6 features (fonts, colors, scroll bars, multiple frames, etc.), and
|
|
|
7 networking support.

9 Precompiled distributions are also available; ftp to
|
|
|
10
|
|
|
11 ftp://ftp.cs.washington.edu/pub/ntemacs/latest
|
|
|
12
|

|
15 * Preliminaries
|
|
|
16
|
|
|
17 To compile Emacs, you will need a Microsoft C compiler package. For
|
|
|
18 NT, this can be any of the SDK compilers from NT 3.1 and up, Microsoft
|
|
|
19 Visual C++ for NT (versions 1.0 and up), or Microsoft Visual C++
|
|
|
20 (versions 2.0 and up). For Windows 95, this can be Microsoft Visual
|
|
|
21 C++ versions 2.0 and up.
|
|
|
22
|
|
|
23 * Building and installing
|
|
|
24
|
|
|
25 See the INSTALL file in this directory for detailed instructions on
|
|
|
26 building and installing Emacs on your system.

35 This web document serves as a FAQ and a source for further information
|
|
|
36 about the port and related software packages.
|
|
|
37
|
|
|
38 There is also a mailing list for discussing issues related to this
|
|
|
39 port of Emacs. For information about the list, send a message to
|
|
|
40 ntemacs-users-request@cs.washington.edu with the word "info" in the
|
|
|
41 *body* of the message. To subscribe to the list, send a message to
|
|
|
42 the same address with the word "subscribe" in the body of the message;
|
|
|
43 similarly, to unsubscribe from the list, send a message with the word
|
|
|
44 "unsubscribe" in the message body.
|
|
|
45
|
|
|
46 You are also always welcome to send me mail directly. If you don't
|
|
|
47 hear from me immediately, however, don't worry; it sometimes takes me
|
|
|
48 a few days (or longer) to get to all of my mail regarding Emacs.

50 * Reporting bugs
|
|
|
51
|
|
|
52 If you encounter bugs in this port of Emacs, first check the FAQ on
|
|
|
53 the web page above to see if the bug is already known and if there are
|
|
|
54 any workarounds. If not, then I would like to hear about it; either
|
|
|
55 send a bug report to the mailing list, or to me directly (I would
|
|
|
56 recommend sending to the list first).
|
|
|
57
|
|
|
58 Enjoy.
