|

|

+ emacs-22.1-bin-i386.zip
|
||||
Windows binaries of Emacs-22.1, with all lisp code and documentation
|
||||
included.
|
||||
|
||||
Download this file if you want a single installation package, and
|
||||
are not interested in the C source code for Emacs. After
|
||||
unpacking, you can optionally run the file bin/addpm.exe to have
|
||||
Emacs add icons to the Start Menu.
|
||||
|
||||
If you need the C source code at a later date, it will be safe to
|
||||
unpack the source distribution on top of this installation.
|
||||
|
||||
+ emacs-22.1-barebin-i386.zip
|
||||
Windows binaries of Emacs-22.1, without lisp code or documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
Download this file if you already have the source distribution, or
|
||||
if you need to redump the emacs.exe executable.
|
||||
|
||||
Unpack this over the top of either the source distribution or the
|
||||
bin distribution above. It contains the bin subdirectory and etc/DOC
|
||||
file, plus temacs.exe and dump.bat, which are required if you want to
|
||||
redump emacs without recompiling it.
|
||||
|
||||
+ emacs-21.3-bin-i386.tar.gz
|
||||
Windows binaries of Emacs 21.3, with compiled lisp code and some
|
||||
documentation included.
|
||||
|
||||
This is provided for users who require the older version.
|
||||
|
||||
+ emacs-21.3-leim.tar.gz
|
||||
Compiled lisp input methods. This optional addition to Emacs-21.3
|
||||
is required if you want to enter languages that are not directly
|
||||
supported by your keyboard.
|
||||
|
||||
* Image support
|
||||
|
||||
Emacs 22.1 contains support for images, however for most image formats
|
||||
supporting libraries are required. This distribution has been tested
|
||||
with the libraries that are distributed with GTK for Windows, and the
|
||||
libraries found at http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/. The following image
|
||||
formats are supported:
|
||||
|
||||
PBM/PGM/PPM: Supported natively by Emacs. This format is used for
|
||||
the black and white versions of the toolbar icons.
|
||||
|
||||
XPM: requires a Windows port of the XPM library 3.4 or later,
|
||||
which will be named xpm4.dll, libxpm-nox4.dll or
|
||||
libxpm.dll. This format is used for the color versions of the
|
||||
toolbar icons, and other images in Emacs.
|
||||
|
||||
PNG: requires the PNG reference library 1.2 or later, which will
|
||||
be named libpng13d.dll, libpng13.dll, libpng12d.dll, libpng12.dll
|
||||
or libpng.dll. LibPNG requires zlib, which should come from the same
|
||||
source as you got libpng.
|
||||
|
||||
JPEG: requires the Independant JPEG Group's libjpeg 6b or later,
|
||||
which will be called jpeg62.dll, libjpeg.dll, jpeg-62.dll or jpeg.dll.
|
||||
|
||||
TIFF: requires libTIFF 3.0 or later, which will be called libtiff3.dll
|
||||
or libtiff.dll.
|
||||
|
||||
GIF: requires libungif or giflib 4.1 or later, which will be
|
||||
called giflib4.dll, libungif4.dll or libungif.dll.
|
||||

||||
* Distributions in .tar.gz and .zip format

but since there are no longer legal problems with .zip files, and the
|

latest versions of Windows support these natively, the Windows binaries

of Emacs are now distributed as .zip files.

Here are the combinations (i386 in the name indicates a zipfile contains

NB. If you just want to run Emacs, get one of the distributions above.

+ Bare executables, useful if you want to get the complete source

release, but can't compile Emacs yourself:

emacs-22.1-barebin-i386.zip (requires ../emacs-22.1.tar.gz)
