===================== File: emacs-19.34-dr8.zip Author: Chris Herborth (chrish@qnx.com) compiled and packaged it Release: 19.34 Compatibility: DR8 Location: /pub/contrib/editors Description: GNU EMACS 19.34; world's most powerful editor Notes: I'm not responsible for this port of GNU EMACS; Vincent LADEUIL (vladeuil@mygale.org) did the port, and I got his patches, plus the source code, out of Fred Fish's (fnf@ninemoons.com) CVS repository (see ftp://ftp.ninemoons.com/pub/be/geekgadgets/README for details about Fred's CVS repository). I built this using GNU C and the other tools from Fred Fish's GeekGadgets collection, and I'm making it available in a (hopefully :-) read-to-run format for the EMACS fans in the Be community. Unpack this in /boot and it'll fit right into your GeekGadgets hierarchy; if you don't have anything else from GeekGadgets installed (why don't you? it's nice to have a second compiler around to get another opinion on strange warnings/errors), you'll have to add this to your .profile: export PATH=/boot/gg/bin:$PATH export INFOPATH=/boot/gg/info Then, go ". .profile", or open a new Terminal. Start EMACS by typing "emacs" and go get a coffee (actually, it doesn't take _that_ long to start up, but it's not instant). Enjoy! =====================
