xemacs-20.4: description + notes
This package holds version 20.4 of XEmacs, the extensible, customizable, self-documenting, real-time display editor.

This version of XEmacs has the unexec dumping code fixed and is compiled n32. It includes the XEmacs exacutable including MULE (Multiple Language) support, libraries, documenation (man and info formats), and auxiliary programs (b2m, ctags, etags, gnuattach, gnuclient, etc.) A xemacs binary without MULE support is also included. It is compiled statically with libz, libpng, and libjpeg support. Everything installs under /usr/freeware.

This version was thoroughly tested on IRIX 6.5 and should work on anything from IRIX 6.2 and up. Testers are needed, please let us know if this works or doesn't work for you. If you do please specify your hardware and OS version.

NOTE: this version of XEmacs is built n32. On IRIX 6.2 systems it requires the following libraries:

    Library         Package
    -------         ---------------------
    libm.so	    compiler_eoe.sw32.lib
    libcurses.so    Same
    libXm.so.1      motif_eoe.sw32.eoe
    libXpm.so.1     ViewKit_eoe.sw32.base
    libXmu.so       x_eoe.sw32.eoe
    libXt.so        Same
    libXext.so      Same
    libX11.so.1     Same
All these libraries are available on the first (1 of 2) IRIX (6.2 or up) CD. It is recommended that you ensure you have these installed (you may try versions | grep package_name) before downloading xemacs. If you don't have them installed your should be able to find the missing ones one of your IRIX CDs or in our recommended patches for your IRIX version.

If you already downloaded XEmacs and get installation conflicts (missing prereqs), don't delete the distribution. Simply tell swmgr to keep it. Install the missing stuff and then go back to swmgr to install XEmacs rather then downloading this huge package again. Another good workaround: you can always use the classic incantation

        set rulesoverride on
in swmgr to force it to install despite the conflicts and worry about them later.
To auto-install this package, go back and click on the respective install icon.
